Make-up like Kristen

Ruby red lips, dark smokey eyes and a lifted hairdo meant Kristen Stewart dazzled on the carpet for the screening of her latest movie, Welcome To The Rileys. A world away from the grounded lo-fi of Adventureland and the teen gothic glamour of Twilight, Kristen's new look is much more lifted, much more refined and a lot less grunge than we're used to.

As this is much more of a red carpet look than we're used to from Kristen her sharp ruby lips are the real touch that brings out the glamour. Applying lip liner like Chanel's Precision Lip Definer in Nude will keep colour from bleeding and lips super sharp and as is always the case with the colour red, brush applying the shade that suits you best is better than anything anyone else can recommend.

The hair is lifted enough but not too much and though you wouldn't know from the photos we are reliably informed the nail polish is jet black and very, very matte. As refined as it is you can take the girl out of Twilight but not the
