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 match your makeup with a black and red gown by Celebrity Makeup Artist Victoria Rowe.
QUESTION: Sporty:
Hi, I just wanted to ask you or get an advice. I have a graduation party this week and my gown is black and red, and I have a dark skin, and that party will be on the morning. Can you help me with the makeup? What exactly would be nice to wear with that gown, especially the eye shadow?
I hope you reply soon.
thanks,
Sporty.
ANSWER: Victoria Rowe:
Hey Sporty!
This is fun makeup.
Step 1: First I would grab a shimmery eyeshadow base like “First Base” from Too Faced Cosmetics ($15 at Sephora and Ulta).
Step 2: Then cover the lid on a pale white-pink shimmer like Bare Minerals “Cultured Pearl”.
