Don't Miss:

Kristen Stewart chose a fun, printed ensemble by Osman for the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards this weekend, and her manicurist Ashlie Johnson played off of the deep tones of the look to inspire Stewart’s metallic eggplant nails. “Her outfit was this gorgeous purple-blue that looks different depending on the light and angle, just like the nail color,” said Johnson, who chose Chanel’s Le Vernis in Taboo ($27 at chanel.com), a gorgeous new violet shade that has a shimmer of red. And Johnson also offered a tip to prevent any manicure mishaps—like last-minute smudges. “Apply a thin layer of cuticle oil on top of the color,” advised Johnson, who has also painted the famous fingers of Naomi Watts and Rooney Mara. “If you bump one of your nails on the way out, it won’t dent the polish.” Great tip!

While all eyes were on Kristen Stewart’s sheer Erdem look at the New York City premiere of On the Road, we also took notice of her sheer petal lipstick. “I wanted to create a sexy cat eye that was a bit ’60s, and modernize it with a soft pink lip,” said her makeup artist Beau Nelson, who used a combo of the Chanel Lip Definer in Pink Sugar and Rouge Coco Sheer Lipshine in Parfait for the star’s lips, which drew upon the neon pink hints in her dress without being overpowering. Nelson traced Stewart’s lips with the pencil, then carefully blended the color and layered the airy pink balm on top. “I patted the product in with my finger to make sure it looked lived-in,” he added. Pick up the lip pencil for $30 and the balm for $33 at chanel.com.
