Luna Twilight Makeup for Eyes, Lips, Face, and Body
When love lives forever, it can certainly conquer just about anything, despite the deadliest of obstacles. Many of the products from the Luna Twilight collection have a shimmer effect, like the Mortal Glow Blushing Crème or First Light Body Glow, to depict that light can shine through even the darkest of situations (like Edward's love for Bella) so women can highlight their own enduring radiance.

Chantecaille Face Makeup
To create the pale, vampire-like complexion in New Moon, makeup artist Robin Matthews used Chantecaille's Future Skin in Alabaster and Water Flower Fluid to brighten and whiten the skin. "I chose Chantecaille for Bella (Kristen Stewart) because it flawlessly re-creates the texture of real skin. The product has a sheerness, that when applied lets some natural skin show through. You can add more product to areas that need a bit more coverage. The final result is a fresh, natural complexion that's never heavy."
If you have oily, acne-prone skin, you might want to also pick up Chantecaille's Biodynamic Lifting Oil Free Fluid, which is the first anti-aging lotion designed for troubled skin.

DuWop Lip Venom
DuWop was first on the beauty scene with a lip plumper gloss that enhances the lip's natural color and shape by increasing blood flow...and there's no vampire around who can resist good circulation. So, appropriately, DuWop came out with a Twilight Lip Venom version that, instead of a gloss, is a shimmering crimson lip stain suspended in a venom-laced liquid lip conditioner with a super-potent bite (watch out!).

MAC Black/Grease Paint
MAC's new Style Black line exudes edginess and magic. Our favorite product to play with from the line is the MAC Grease Paint Stick. This smooth and creamy eye crayon easily smudges over your lash lines and lids to create a dark, sparkly eye.
The head makeup artist on the set of Twilight, Jeanne Van Phue, used MAC eye shadows and powders to create the vampirelike effect for the stars. Blot Powder/Pressed in Light and eye shadow in Blanc Type, Flute, and Wedge were used on Kristen Stewart to help achieve pale skin. Blot Powder/Pressed in Light was used on Robert Pattinson to create an undead (hot!) look.
