NYLON: Interview with Kristen Stewart’s Makeup Artist

NYLON has this great interview with Robin Mathews, who did Kristen’s makeup in two of the Twilight films as well as in The Runaways.

What’s harder: making someone look like a rock star or a vampire?

What’s the best pencil for a Runaways-inspired smoky eye?

Make Up Forever makes a great one that’s long-lasting. Also, the regular MAC kohl eye pencil is great for smudging.
