Look of the Week: Kristen Stewart on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

We’re constantly updating our Last Night’s Look gallery with all the best red-carpet moments (gorgeous dresses! dazzling accessories! sky-high heels!). Now, let’s talk beauty. Each week, we’ll be highlighting one of the most gorgeous makeup and/or hair moments, along with details on how to recreate the look — straight from the makeup artist or hairstylist — in our feature, Look of the Week.

When we first saw this photo of Kristen Stewart, we knew we’d be tracking down the whole look — it’s classic K.Stew (that smudgy liner) with a twist (her baby-pink lip). Luckily, makeup artist Beau Nelson gave us all scoop on her sultry look!

When working with Stewart, Nelson says nothing is ever “too planned” and the pair usually just “roll with it” in terms of the beauty look for that night. “Kristen likes to look a little rock ‘n’ roll, and [her V-neck Diane von Furstenberg romper] felt like it would work to do something like this,” he tells PEOPLE.

So how he’d get the rocker-esque look without going full-on raccoon eyes? Don’t go kohl liner crazy, he says. “We kept this quite close to the lash line and didn’t go all the way up to the crease of the eye and beyond,” Nelson says. “If you keep the color concentrated at the lash line and blend it well, it won’t be too much.”

To nail the look, Nelson used M.A.C Kohl Power Eye Pencil in Feline around her eyes and on the waterline, and then smudged the liner in with a brush. The makeup pro added a slight shimmer with a metallic maroon eye shadow (NARS Dual-Intensity Eye Shadow in Subra). (Pro tip: Nelson recommends using a shimmery shadow — in any color of your choice — to soften the look so the liner doesn’t look too harsh.)

And since Stewart isn’t a big fan of lipstick, Nelson says, the pro opted to keep the star’s lip neutral with a few swipes of tinted lip balm.

So there you have it. Now go rock that liner like a badass!
