MTV’s Hollywood Crush has the Nylon interview with the make up artist for Kristen Stewart on The Runaways and New Moon.

Both films feature extremely different looks for Kristen, but it was makeup artist Robin Matthews who handled both “The Runaways” and “New Moon” and “Eclipse.” Nylon Magazine recently did an interview with Robin to ask her about working on both projects.

 ”‘The Runaways’ was a bit harder [to do makeup for] because it was recreating real people, icons,” Robin answered when asked which of the two films was harder to work on.” It was hard to live up to although Bella is pretty much a teen icon, too.”

Despite the seemingly plain-Jane element of Bella Swan’s look, Robin said creating it was a lot harder than it seemed.

“Her look was so tricky, because she had to be a naturally pretty girl, but shes also surrounded by these mythical creatures. She needs to be plain, but beautiful at the same time,” Robin shared. “Its all about the flawless skin and a naturally pretty cheek color. The number one question I get is the lips and I cant give it up yet!”

But what she would give up was how to recreate Joan Jett’s iconic smoky eyes that Kristen wore in “The Runaways.” “Make Up Forever makes a great one thats long-lasting. Also, the regular MAC kohl eye pencil is great for smudging,” Robin said. She also added that, while taking off makeup at night is very important for healthy skin, leaving eye liner on overnight is key for true rock-n-roll smoky eyes.

Even though she has worked with many big name actresses from Dakota Fanning and the rest of the “Twilight Saga” and “Runaways” cast to Anna Faris, Robin was quick to say Kristen Stewart was her beauty icon. “[Shes] the most chameleon-like actress that Ive ever witnessed. She can play a beauty or a wreck at the same time if she wants to,” Robin said. “She just has a bone structure that allows her to be morphed into other things easily.”

Robin continued to tell stories of just how in-character Kristen can get while shooting — a tale we have heard many times before.

“We had just finished shooting ‘New Moon’ a week prior to ‘The Runaways,’ and I started noticing that [Kristen] had a little bit of a hunch I never really noticed that she stood like that and walked like that,” Robin said. “And [then] I realized that’s how Joan [Jett] stands, because she plays the guitar. We shot ‘Eclipse’ two days after ‘The Runaways’ [ended], and the hunch was gone!”

Kristen is a natural beauty.   She just morphs into her character too.

‘You are my life now’  Do you remember exactly where you were, when you witnessed the beginning of forever?  The Twilight parking lot crash scene is beyond epic in my opinion.  Who knew almost being smashed by a mini van could be so…romantic!

It was pivotal to the forward motion of the characters’ relationship, and it was also an exhibition of Edward Cullen’s strength and capability as (then unknown to Bella) a vampire.

Already, that particular scene was chosenas number four on AOL Moviefone’s “Top 25 Movie Moments of the Decade,” and, now, Fandango has selected it as fifth on their “Top 10 Romantic Movie Gestures” list.

Says Fandango, “Ask any girl under the age of 20 (and many older) to name their most romantic movie gesture, and it could very likely be Edward (Robert Pattinson) throwing himself in front of a speeding van to save his one and only Bella (Kristen Stewart). Vampire lore — and box office receipts — would never be the same.”

I so feel an originial Twi discussion brewing lol.  What’s your favorite part in the Twilight book or movie?  Which scene do you feel is the most romantic ever?

MTV has the exclusive on the new Jacob Black doll by Tonner!

Last week when it was announced that Taylor Lautner got cast as “Stretch Armstrong,” we made note that with that project (and “Max Steel”) he was “quite literally becoming a boy toy.” Well, we’re back now to reinforce that claim with an exclusive first look at the brand new Jacob Black doll!

The limited edition Jacob action figure, which comes a few (long-awaited!) months after Tonner debuted its Laurent, Victoria, James and “Hungry Edward” dolls during last July’s Comic-Con, will be shapeshifting released this summer. The cost of the 17-inch-tall, hard plastic and vinyl figure will be $149.99 and there are only a limited number (3000 to be exact!) being made, so Twilighters, this is a chance to own a piece of cinematic history!

Er,  $149.99?  

This is a collector’s item and different from the Mattel’s Jacob Black Barbie Doll for $24.99, which has less clothes.

What do you guys think?  Do you like the Jacob Barbie doll better?
