Forget wearing a black Count Dracula cape with red velvet lining—the Cullens are an impeccably dressed clan. Follow these easy tips to recreate their seductive big screen look:

Makeup:

Use white powder to make your face as pale as possible (makeup artist Jean Van Phue used MAC blot powder/pressed in Light). Don’t go overboard—the idea is to make your skin look luminescent.

For a diamonds-in-the-sun sheen like Edward, mix moisturizer with a dab of silver body glitter and rub it on your body or use a product like MAC Strobe Liquid.

Pat some dark eye shadow underneath your eyes to make them look dark and brooding. Eyeliner is a must!

If you really want to go all out, purchase amber colored contacts to get their signature mesmerizing stare.

Lipstick was used on all of the girls AND guys in the cast. To look naturally pretty like Bella, try a plum-brown shade (Benefit Silky Finish lipstick in Good to Go was used on her in the movie).

If you would rather look like the vampires, then you’ll need a deep, dark purple hue (like Benefit Silky Finish lipstick in Ms. Behavin).

Hair:

When it comes to hair, take a cue from Bella and use a hair curling iron to create bouncy, romantic ringlets.

Guys comb your hair straight up and be prepared to use tons of hairspray to get Edward’s coif!

Clothing:

Dress up in dark, muted colors like gray, black, and brown. The characters wear a lot of jeans in the movie, so rock your favorite pair with a slim-cut t-shirt and finish off the look with a textured blazer.
