We might have become accustomed to Ashley Greene’s pale complexion in the Twilight series, but she was looking healthily bronzed at a recent event. Here’s how to recreate the look with tips from makeup artist, Larry Yeo.

1) Keep the look clean with minimal foundation. Tap on a light concealer (like Cle De Peu Beaute’s concealer stick) to cover your undereye circles.

2) Fill in the brows naturally with a waterproof eyebrow gel in a shade that matches your hair. Larry recommends Shu Uemura’s Eyebrow Gel in Hazel Brown.

3) For perfect shimmery bronze eye makeup, pick up a palette with different gradations of brown. Try BeYu’s Catwalk Trio Eyeshadow in 21 (avaliable from http://colorbistro.com/product/catwalk-trio-eyeshadow/#21). Using your finger or an eyeshadow brush, sweep the darkest colour from the outer part of the eyes and blend inwards. Also use it to line the lower lashline.

4) Soften the look by using the mid-toned bronze from the centre of the upper lids towards the inner corner.

5) For a bright-eyed look, highlight the inner corner of the eyes with the yellow-gold tone.

6) Line the upper lid with a long-wearing eyeliner like Estee Lauder’s Double Wear Stay-in-Place eyeliner in Stay Onyx for extra definition.

7) For humidity-proof lashes that stay up, try a waterproof curling mascara like Paul and Joe’s Waterproof Mascara.

8) Give the illusion of sunkissed skin to fairer complexions with Givenchy’s Fleur de Frangipanier Edition Limitée Compact Powder in Island Sun No. 2, a shimmery bronze face highlighter. Using a large powder brush, sweep it onto the cheekbones and temples. Using the remaining bit of powder left on the brush, lightly brush over the chin and the T-zone so that your face glows, not shines. For tanned and darker skintones, use MAC’s To the Beach Bronzing powder in Refined Golden, a darker shade with golden particles.

9) Stick to the natural and warm palette and just lightly condition lips with a nude lip gloss. Try Clinique’s Vitamin C Lip Smoothie Antioxidant Lip Colour in Nude-tritious.

10)  Weatherproof your makeup with a light dusting of loose powder. Urban Decay’s Razor Sharp Ultra Definition Finishing Powder has optical blurring particles that "airbrush" your skin, so that it looks flawless even under the harshest of lighting conditions.
