Of course, I was there for "research purposes"; in a book filled with pale characters with huge, dark eyes, I was dying (har har!) to see how the characters would be done up. On one hand, you've got the spunky but delicate Bella, with her pale skin and chocolate-brown eyes. On the other hand, you've got the dangerously beautiful, topaz-eyed vampire clan of the Cullens, whose gorgeous looks makes them outcasts at their school, and whose skin actually glitters in the sun. 
Thanks to BellaSugar for going straight to the source: Jeanne Van Phue, the movie's head makeup artist, who pictured Bella as a natural beuaty with a neutral look. Here's what she used:
Van Phue didn't want the vampires to look, in her words, "ghoulish." Remember, they pass for humans in Forks. Van Phue focused on the skin, making it pale, but steering clear of contouring of any kind. She used SK-II AirTouch makeup. “It goes on flawlessly—no smudges or streaks,” she said. Bonus after filming in rainy, damp locations? “I accidentally found out it was water resistant.”
Foundation: SK-II Air Touch Foundation in OP-1
Powder: M.A.C. Blot Powder/Pressed in Light
Lips: Benefit Silky Finish Lipstick in Ms. Behavin (a mulberry color)
