The day after Thanksgiving, Amber and I met for lunch at The Cheesecake Factory then meandered around the Willow Grove Mall - killing time before a 4:30pm showing of Twilight. To say that we're a wee bit obsessed with Twilight is a wee bit of an understatement. That afternoon, I was seeing the movie for the second time…and Amber had officially "blown her entire allowance" seeing Twilight FOUR times in one week.
Before leaving the mall and heading to the movie theater, we made a pit stop in Sephora - as beauty bloggers are wont to do when they congregate. We had heard that Twilight's makeup artist used Benefit's Silky Finish Lipstick in Ms. Behavin (mulberry glaze) on Robert Pattinson, who plays Edward Cullen in the film - and also on Edward's film family. So Amber swiped some on, in an attempt to replicate Edward's vampy lip. She got a kick out of wearing it to the movie, knowing that Robert Pattinson's lips would be dressed in the same shade.Ms. Behavin looked gorge on Amber, but something was different between her lips and those of the Twilight vampires. Amber's lips were much glossier. So for a week, the question weighed on me as I tried to figure out how the movie's makeup department managed to make the glossy lipstick look like a matte stain.
This weekend, I got my answer – straight from Jeanne Van Phue, Twilight's head makeup artist!!!
To copy Edward Cullen's bloodthirsty berry lips, apply a very small amount of Benefit Silky Finish Lipstick in Ms. Behavin. Then top it off with Noriko Cranberry Lip Balm, which can be purchased at Nigel's Beauty Emporium:11252 Magnolia Blvd.
