Get The Look! Jaw-Droppingly Gorgeous Romantic Eyes and Bold Lips

The Venice Film Festival brought about both embellished masterpieces and minimal silhouettes, but it wasn’t just about the fashion – the standout was the beauty starlet that is Miss Kristen Stewart. Now she may not be one of my favourite actresses (sorry, not sorry), she is though fast becoming my favourite makeup trendsetter. Always on point when it comes to her red carpet appearances, Kristen has won me over with her romantic eye makeup and bold scarlet lip at this year’s event.

Here are some top makeup tips you need to recreate the look:

Skip the liner – romance is all about floral, natural qualities. Shimmering, brush-on powders in violets and rose create a perfect all-over glow and add a touch of mystery. An online beauty buy like the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick eye shadow palette from £33.00 has five bars of luminous colour that gradually build intensity and suit all skin tones.

Add depth and definition with a plumping mascara like Diorshow’s Iconic Overcurl Mascara #694 from £29.61. The deep purple pigment compliments the light particles of the shadow and picks up brighter parts of your eye colour.

For the pièce de résistance, use both a lip liner and lipstick in the same tonal value as the eye shadow. Online beauty buys like the MAC Lip Pencil from £12.50 and the MAC Lipstick from £14.00 come in various shades and glide on smoothly offering a matte long-wear finish.

Now that’s red carpet ready… in a (camera) flash!
