"If you're an actress known for broadcasting a glamorous apathy toward everything that comes with being Miss Bella Swan, last night's Oscars offered its own reasons for grumpiness: There were the crutches (KStew apparently stepped on a piece of glass), which meant hobbling around on a lone Jimmy Choo; there was the 8,000-mile separation from a maybe-boyfriend filming in Australia; and then there was the name-drop in Seth MacFarlane's boob song. Oh, and Stewart picked up the Worst Actress Razzie this weekend, too. So when I saw a picture of Stewart actually smiling on the red carpet last night, I was impressed. I also loved her easy, low-key beauty, a welcome antidote to all the other capitol-G glamour. \\\"Kristen and I always go for classic makeup with an edge,\\\" says Chanel makeup artist Beau Nelson, who has worked with Stewart for the past four ~~tumultuous~~ memorable years, and the pair seem to have hit upon the perfect formula. \\\"The edge last night was monochrome, inspired by her beautifully detailed Reem Acra gown. I wanted to pull that pale pink color and put it all over her face.\\\" Here's how to get the look. (Just remember to make the Kristen Stewart face. You know the one.)\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n \\n\\n\\n\\n                   \\n\\n__Skin.__ \\\"Kristen always laughs at me because of this, but I used to be a photo retoucher, so I found a picture of her with no makeup, and I Photoshopped on the look I wanted to do. I always do this, and she just rolls her eyes,\\\" says Nelson, who moisturized Stewart's skin with __Chanel Sublimage La Cr\u00E8me Yeux__ and __Hydra Beauty Serum Hydration Protection Radiance__ to give it a dewy glow. He gently highlighted Stewart's forehead and undereye areas with __Chanel Le Blanc de Chanel Sheer Illuminating Base__. Stewart's look had to take her from the late afternoon sunlight to the harsh glare of stage lights, so Nelson mixed two shades of [Chanel Vitalumi\u00E8re Aqua Fresh &amp; Hydrating Cream Compact Sunscreen SPF 15](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/foundation/2013/chanel-vitalumiere-cream-compact-foundation).\\n\\n\\n\\n__Cheeks.__ Nelson gave Stewart a pale flush using the soft pink [Chanel Powder Blush in Tumulte:](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/blush/2013/chanel-joues-contraste-powder-blush-tumulte) \\\"It pulls from the soft rose color of her dress,\\\" which he blended upward, starting low on her cheeks to highlight her bone structure. \\\"The larger the brush head, the more diffused and blended a color will be,\\\" he says. Nelson set the makeup by sweeping a translucent powder across her face, skipping the tops of her cheekbones. He packed Chanel's new powder foundation in Stewart's clutch for touch-ups, instructing her to apply it right around her nose and at the center of her face.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n \\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  __Eyes.__ To round out the monochromatic look he'd envisioned, Nelson created a rosy smoky eye. \\\"Her beautiful green eyes are always my favorite trait to play up,\\\" he says. He swept __Chanel Soft Touch Eyeshadow in Rose Favorite__ all the way across her lids and underneath her eyes. But \\\"without any other colors on top, it actually looked crazy,\\\" Nelson says. He recommends fluffy brushes to create a soft-focus sooty eye, and used the largest one to apply the pink shadow. \\\"The smaller the brush, the more intense the color.\\\" Nelson layered a smoked-out taupe from [Chanel Quadra Eyeshadow in Raffinement](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/eye-shadow/2013/chanel-quadra-eye-shadow-raffinement) over the lid and then accented the crease with the palette's darkest shade, a cool brown. \\\"Placing the darkest shade near the outer edge of the eye gives it shape,\\\" explained Nelson, who lined Stewart's eyes with Chanel Style Yeux Waterproof Long-lasting Eyeliner in Santal, blending into the shadow. [Le Volume de Chanel Mascara](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/mascara/2013/chanel-le-volume-de-chanel-mascara) finished the look.\\n\\n\\n\\n__Lips.__ Nelson takes the reins when working with Stewart, but this time she did ask him for a deeper lip color. Familiar with red-carpet dos and don'ts, he avoided a sheer, shiny color and instead lined her lips with [Chanel Precision Lip Definer in Rubellite,](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/lip-liner/2013/chanel-lip-pencil-rubellite) and then tapped on [Chanel Rouge Coco Lipstick in Legende 11](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/lipstick/2013/chanel-rouge-coco-lipstick-legende) by hand. \\\"I pressed the lipstick into her lips with my finger, to make it look more like a stain. It lasts longer, it photographs better, and it isn't so severe.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\nWho needs a boyfriend when you have a makeup artist? \\\"She had just cut her foot and was in quite a bit of pain,\\\" says Nelson, who escorted Stewart and her crutches onto the red carpet. \\\"She's really tough. I powdered the shit out of her face and sent her on her way.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  __RELATED LINKS:__\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  \u2022 [Celebrity Makeup Artist Jillian Dempsey on Prepping Jennifer Lawrence for the Oscars](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2013/02/jillian-dempsey-makeup-jennifer-lawrence-2013-oscars.html)\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  \u2022 [Celebrity Hairstylist Chris McMillan on Prepping Jennifer Aniston and Kate Capshaw for the Oscars](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2013/02/hairstylist-chris-mcmillan-jennifer-aniston-kate-capshaw-oscars.html)\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  \u2022 [HD Makeup Tricks](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2012/08/high-definition-makeup-tips.html)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
