Hey beauty lovers! Today, we're diving deep into the world of Kristen Stewart's beauty evolution. If you're anything like me, you've been fascinated by how she's transformed from the awkward Bella Swan to a bona fide style icon who can pull off literally any look. Let's break down her most iconic moments and how you can recreate them using products from Mimic Makeup!
The Early Days: "I Just Woke Up Like This" Vibes
Remember when Kristen first hit our screens as Bella Swan? Her beauty game was all about that "I don't care but I actually care" aesthetic. It was minimal, a bit moody, and totally perfect for her vampire-loving character.
To get this look, you'll want to focus on skincare first. Start with the La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Serum – Hyaluronic Acid + Vitamin B5 to get that plump, hydrated base. Then, use just a touch of NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer where you need it (under eyes, any blemishes).
Keep the skin looking natural with a light dusting of Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder—just enough to control shine without looking like you're wearing powder.
For the lips, Kristen was all about that natural look. Try the rhode Peptide Lip Shape or rhode Peptide Lip Tint for that perfect "my lips but better" vibe.
The Androgynous Phase: Breaking Beauty Rules
As Kristen got more comfortable in the spotlight, she started playing with gender norms in her beauty looks. This is when she really started to shine as a style icon for me! She was rocking suits on the red carpet with minimal makeup that somehow still looked incredibly chic.
For this phase, you'll want to create a flawless base with the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Longwear Foundation. It gives you coverage without looking heavy, which is key for this look.
Add some subtle definition with the Fenty Beauty Match Stix Contour Stick — Amber. Remember, we're going for subtle here—just enough to add some dimension to the face.
The eyes are where you can have a bit more fun. Use the NYX Epic Ink Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner to create a thin line along the upper lashes, and add some length with the Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High® Mascara.
Keep the lips neutral with something like the Pixi +Hydra Lip Treat or Summer Fridays Dream Lip Oil. We want the focus to be on the eyes and the overall vibe, not a bold lip.
The Red Carpet Queen: Glamorous Kristen
OMG, can we talk about how stunning Kristen looks on the red carpet these days? She's gone from minimal makeup to full-on glamour, and I am HERE for it! She knows how to balance classic Hollywood glamour with her own edgy style, and it's always perfection.
For these looks, you'll want to start with a solid base. The Huda Beauty #FauxFilter Luminous Matte Foundation is perfect for this—it gives you full coverage but still looks like skin.
Set everything with the Hourglass® Vanish Airbrush Pressed Powder to make sure your makeup lasts all night (or until you're ready to take it off, no judgment here).
Add some color to the cheeks with a product like the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush or NARS Afterglow Liquid Blush. These give you that gorgeous flush that looks like you're actually blushing, not like you're wearing blush.
For the eyes, the Huda Beauty Empowered Eyeshadow Palette is a must-have. It has everything you need to create both subtle and dramatic looks, so you can channel whatever version of Kristen you're feeling that day.
And for the lips? Go bold! The Dior Addict Lip Maximizer Plumping Gloss or YSL Loveshine Plumping Lip Oil Gloss will give you that perfect pout that looks amazing in photos.
The Skincare Secrets: How Kristen Gets That Glow
Let's be real: good makeup starts with good skin. And Kristen's skin always looks amazing, whether she's wearing a full face of makeup or going bare-faced.
If you want to get skin like Kristen, you'll need to invest in some good skincare products. Here's what I recommend:
- The La Roche-Posay Vitamin C12 Serum – Pure Vitamin C + Salicylic Acid to brighten and exfoliate
- The La Roche-Posay Retinol B3 Serum – Pure Retinol + Vitamin B3 to keep those fine lines at bay
- The La Roche-Posay Mela B3 Dark Spot Serum – Melasyl™ + Niacinamide if you're dealing with any dark spots or hyperpigmentation
- The SkinCeuticals P-TIOX for some serious anti-aging action
- The Clarins Total Eye Lift Eye Cream to keep the eye area looking bright and fresh
- The La Roche-Posay Anthelios Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 because sun protection is non-negotiable!
The Body Care Routine: Head-to-Toe Perfection
Kristen's beauty game isn't just about her face—her skin always looks amazing from head to toe. If you want to get that same glow, you'll need to take care of your body too.
I'm obsessed with the Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Visibly Firming Body Cream—it smells amazing and leaves your skin feeling so soft and smooth. The Sol de Janeiro Beija Flor™ Elasti-Cream is another great option, especially if you're looking for something a bit more lightweight.
For extra hydration, try the Sol de Janeiro Delícia Drench™ Body Butter. It's perfect for those days when your skin needs a little extra TLC.
My Favorite Kristen Stewart Looks and How to Recreate Them
Okay, now for the fun part! Let's talk about some of my favorite Kristen Stewart beauty moments and how you can recreate them.
The Smoky Eye Look
Kristen's smoky eye is iconic—it's edgy but still wearable. To get this look, you'll want to use the NYX Ultimate Color Shadow Palette Warm Neutrals or the Kiko Milano New Glamour Multi-Finish Eyeshadow Palette.
Start by applying a light brown shade all over your lid, then use a darker brown in the crease to add depth. Use a black eyeshadow or eyeliner (the NYX Epic Ink Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner is perfect for this) to line your upper and lower lashes, then smudge it out for that smoky effect.
Finish with lots of mascara—I like the Benefit BADgal BANG! Mascara or the Benefit They're Real! Magnet Mascara for this look.
The Bold Lip Look
When Kristen goes for a bold lip, she always keeps the rest of her makeup minimal. It's a classic red carpet move, and it works every time.
For this look, start with a flawless base using the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Longwear Foundation and Hourglass® Vanish™ Airbrush Concealer.
Keep the eyes simple with just some mascara (the Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High® Mascara is great for this) and a touch of eyeliner if you want.
Then, go for the bold lip! The Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil or the Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer will give you that perfect pout.
The Natural Look
Of course, we can't forget Kristen's natural look. It's what she's known for, and it's perfect for those days when you want to look put-together without putting in a lot of effort.
For this look, start with good skincare (we talked about that earlier). Then, use a light coverage foundation or just concealer where you need it. The NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer is perfect for this.
Add a touch of color to the cheeks with something like the Pixi On-the-Glow Blush or the Milk Makeup Cooling Water Jelly Tint.
Keep the eyes simple with just some mascara, and finish with a natural-looking lip product like the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm or the Gisou Honey Infused Lip Oil.
