Beth deemed Kristen Stewart's smoky eye one of the best at the Kid's Choice Awards and with good reason. It's sexy, smoldering and far from the regular ol' black smoky eye we're used to seeing. The inspiration? "It came from the vibrancy of her green eyes," said Jillian Dempsey, Kristen's makeup artist. "I wanted to push the strength of her eyes using shades of purple with iridescent accents."
Here's how you can get the look: The deep purple shade from Chanel's Quadra Eyeshadow in Vanités served as the base of the look. Dempsey then blended and layered metallic accents on Kristen's lids to intensify the purple using Chanel's Illusion D’Ombre Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow in Mirifique. Then, she traced underneath her Kristen's lashes with Chanel's Precision Eye Definer in Violet Smoke and used Chanel's Stylo Yeux Waterproof Long Lasting Eyeliner in Black Shimmer on her upper lash line for extra definition.
