MAC Cosmetics Provides Makeup Artistry for Twilight The Movie
MAC Cosmetics provides artistry and product support to numerous films, television shows, theatrical productions and performances around the world. In addition to supporting such shows as Mad Men, Gossip Girl and Ugly Betty, MAC is also the official makeup of Cirque du Soleil.
One of the latest projects is the film production of Twilight, the highly anticipated, #1 New York Times Bestselling book by Stephenie Meyer brought to life. With over 17 million books in print, these books are a cultural phenomenon.
The movie Twilight, is scheduled to premiere in November 21, 2008.
Below is an interview with Makeup Department Head Jeanne Van Phue with some insight into the makeup direction of the movie.
Q: What was the process for creating the various characters’ looks?
A: Katherine Hardwicke, the director, and I have previously worked together on a movie called “Lords of Dogtown,” so we know each other very well. I began by preparing sketches of my vision, keeping in mind the descriptions Stephanie Myers (Twilight’s Author) set forth in the books.
Bella’s (Kristen Stewart’s character) description in the novel is very pale and extremely beautiful with large chocolate brown eyes, so she wore colored lenses every day. I also pictured her as a natural beauty, which is exactly what Kristen is. I used a light hand while applying all neutral colors to make her look as though she had no makeup on.
Edward’s (Robert Pattinson’s character) description in the novel is impossibly handsome almost god-like. His skin is marble-pale, hard as stone and ice cold, but perfect and flawless. Edwards’ eyes are described as topaz colored when he is normal and black like onyx, when hungry.
How To Get Anne Hathaway’s Modernized Bob
The hot new hairstyle that celebrities are sporting is the modernized, layered bob as seen on Anne Hathaway, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Garner. Formerly forbidden since the 70s, this cut is making a strong comeback this season celebs are growing out their layered bobs to hit just above the collarbone. This cut creates beautiful lines by emphasizing your neck and shoulders.
This is how to get Anne Hathaway’s modernized bob by Frederic Fekkai’s Adir Abergel:
To get this modern day bob look, you need a good volumizer like Frederic Fekkai’s Fekkai Coiff Bouffant to use all over the roots and dry hair upside down to create fullness. Adir then wrapped hair around a 1″ curling iron, making sure to leave the ends out to create a relaxed curl. To soften this look you can add a slight wave by using Frederic Fekkai’s Coiff Oceanique Tousled Wave Spray to modernize texture and take it away from soccer mom territories.
“Clients should ask for a choppier bob so it’s not so blunt, but rather has texture on the ends with longer layers that frame the face for body,” says Adir. “The long bob can become soccer mom-esque if it is too blunt, so make sure your stylist removes some bulk from hair by chops into the ends.”
