Get the Look: Kristen Stewart’s Intricate Updo

May 31, 2012 @ 12:35 pm

We loved Kristen Stewart’s edgy chignon at the Los Angeles screening of Snow White and the Huntsman, so we caught up with her hairstylist Adir Abergel to break down her look! “I wanted to add a punk edge to the traditional Victorian updo,” Abergel told InStyle.com. He began by giving strands a blast of Klorane’s Dry Shampoo ($18; ulta.com) to give the style movement and hold, then backcombed Stewart’s roots to add volume. “I started French braiding her hair going toward her crown, then knotted sections at the top to create a Mowhawk,” the stylist said. “To create extra texture, I braided hair at the nape of Kristen’s neck, and twisted it around the knotted Mowhawk.” Perfect!

Snow White-Inspired Nail Polish: Good and Evil Colors

May 30, 2012 @ 4:20 pm

Nail polish guru Deborah Lippmann is getting into the fairytale spirit with the launch of a two-piece lacquer set inspired by forthcoming Snow White and the Huntsman (out Friday). Her two new colors play to your inner fairytale princess or wicked queen with the aptly-named Prelude to a Kiss, a demure beige, and the rebellious Dark Side of the Moon, an evil queen-inspired merlot. “If you can’t choose between the shades, incorporate them both into your look by creating a modern duet,” Lippmann said. “Try the darker hue on the nail, with a very thin line of the beige across the tip, or vice-versa.” Whichever color combo you choose, these dynamic shades are sure to make your mani the fairest of them all! Pick up the duo for $30 at hsn.com.
