5 Minutes with Eclipse Makeup Artist Leslie Graham

It's been a big few years for makeup artist Leslie Graham. Not only has she made up some of the biggest names in the biz (Tyra Banks and Jamie-Lee Curtis to name a few) she was also responsible for the makeup looks for the vampires on The Twilight Saga: New Moon and Eclipse, Sucker Punch and Tron: Legacy with pal and mentor Rosalina Da Silva. We were lucky enough to catch up with Leslie to talk vampires and the inspiration behind her favourite beauty looks.

BellaSugar: You created some of the looks for the vampires in New Moon and Eclipse - who did you look after and what were the key products you used to create their looks?

Leslie Graham: For New Moon I was brought in to be a personal makeup artist for actor Jamie Campbell Bower, who played the role of Caius (one of the leaders of the Voluturi). For Eclipse I did the makeup for all of the Wolfpack [Alex Meraz, Julia Jones and Chaske Spencer], Jodelle Ferland and some of the newborn vampires. On set I would take care of Dakota and the other Volturi. We did a lot of air-brushing using MAC Micronized Airbrushed Formula to give the "onion" skin tone. It has a little silicone in it, which works to keep the makeup in place as we were often working in the woods and in the rain - vampires in the rain can be quite difficult!

Olivia Wilde, we salute you! This chocolate Marchesa gown is the stuff of fairytales. The strapless ballgown is sparkle-licious, and we love the graduating gemstones that start as an encrusted bodice and end up as bling dusted tulle skirt. We love it, but do you?

A Behind-the-Scenes Look at the Makeup of Tron: Legacy

Rev up your Lightcycles, peeps as Tron: Legacy hits cinemas today. The guy's in the office are excited about the plot, but it's the characters' geek-chic look that has piqued our attention as it continues to be a big trend for another year running. Makeup artist Rosalina Da Silva worked closely with the film's hairstylists, costume designer and director to capture the high-tech look the characters sport in the film. "My intention in creating these designs and keeping the palette monochromatic was to make sure that the actors totally fit into the set and became a part of it . . . assuming and reflecting the ambiance," she explained. Check out more looks . . .

To Infinity And Beyond! Opening Ceremony Gets Futuristic

POPSUGAR Fashion AU — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 11:58:05 EST

Disney's Tron: Legacy (due to hit big screens Dec 17) may not be a traditionally fashionable flick, but we're liking the movie's tech-centric style. We're not alone, as we've spotted the edgy Tron-inspired TomTom jewellery line, and now Opening Ceremony has teamed up with Disney for a Tron: Legacy clothing collection. Olivia Wilde, who stars in the movie, is already a fan, and rocked this ultra mod, royal blue tulip dress (Approx $300). If you want to look like Olivia, or prefer your fashion future-ready, here's your cue.

Check Out the Teaser of Jeff Bridges in Tron Legacy!

Now that Jeff Bridges has that Oscar under his belt, it's time to take a look at his next project. A far cry from Bad Blake, Bridges will reprise his role as Kevin Flynn in the upcoming sequel to the 1982 sci-fi flick, Tron. In Tron Legacy, Flynn's computer savvy son Sam (Garrett Hedlund) follows a tip and sets out to find his father, who's been missing for the past 20+ years. What he finds is a cyber universe complete with spandex, Olivia Wilde and more Day-Glo than Burning Man. Oh what a difference a few decades make! The gaming world is a hell of a lot cooler and clearly more futuristic than what we saw in the original (I've included the hilarious trailer for the first movie after the jump just to prove it). Even if Bridges is much older, it's still a treat to see him back in the arcade-like atmosphere. The movie doesn't hit theatres until next Christmas, but click through to get a taste.
