The Twilight Saga: New Moon opens Friday (SCREAM!). If you didn’t know about this epic movie premier, you might not be living on this planet! The stars of the movie are everywhere this week, so it’s only fitting to examine movie make-up. Sorry werewolves, there isn’t much to work with on the beauty front. I studied the official New Moon website and trailer looking at the vampires Edward, Alice, the Cullen family and the Volturi.
Porcelain Skin
If you want to look like one of the Volturi, THINK LAYERS. Then, start with the it stick concealer from Benefit ($20.) Follow with a creamy foundation like Stilla Illuminating Liquid in 10 Watt ($38) for a sheer glow. Finish with Hydrating Mineral Veil by Bare Escentuals ($19) to absorb oil and soften complexion.

Blood Red Lips
Benetint is a chic two in one product from Benefit. The bottle looks like nail polish, but it’s actually lip and cheek tint. The rose colored stain is said to be ‘kiss-proof,’ according to the Benefit website. They also call it ‘innocent yet provocative.’ If that doesn’t sound like The Twilight Saga, I don’t know what else does. Apply three dots to the apples of cheeks and blend quickly with fingers ($28).

Sparkly Eyes
Coastal Contacts designed contact lenses specifically for Twilight. Get the golden amber eye color for $30 per lens. The company practically sold out for Halloween! Tons of wild lenses are available, including Vampire Red, Black Out and Bloodlust.

Dark Nails
Many of the vampires in New Moon have dark nails. I’ve been using OPI Nail Lacquer in Siberian Nights, which is deep purple with a minor shine. They also make a matte color, Lincoln Park After Dark which looks closer to black ($9).

Now you’re ready to look just like one of the neck-biters for the premier…..just get some fake teeth and you’ll be a spitting image! (Unless, of course, you don’t want to go that far…..)
