Runaway’s, the new movie starring Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett and Dakota Fanning as Cherie Currie is proof that the 70′s rocker chic look is hot at the moment. When celebrity make up artist Robin Mathews was asked to create the signature looks for the movie, they used Make Up Forever products. The Smoky Eye in the new movie the Runaways is epic. Make up aritst Robin Mathews gives you tips on how to recreate the same look using Make Up Forever Products.
Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett – Classic Smoky Eye:
- Start with Eye Shadow #127 (metallic taupe). Cover the entire eye lid with shadow so that there are no hard edges, making sure to blend out the color extremely well.
- Using Aqua Eyes #0L (black), apply a very generous amount of eyeliner under the eye on the lower lid, then rim the top lid as close to lash line as possible.
- Using a smudging brush, smudge the liner on the top and bottom of the eye. Robin’s tip: the secret to a great rock and roll smoky eye is all about the smudge – it doesn’t have to be uniform or neat. Once you’re done smudging, go back and re-apply a heavier coat of eyeliner along the lash line. Then, remove any excess shadow that may have fallen using a sponge.
- Apply Eye Shadow #139 (iridescent brown black), a darker brown than the color used on the base of the lid, and smudge it over the black liner that was smudged out earlier on both the top and bottom lids.
- Use a lash curler to lift all the lashes and prep them for applying mascara.
- To complete the ultimate smoky eye, apply Smoky Lash first to the tops of the lashes, and then follow through scissoring up to create volume and separation.
Dakota Fanning as Cherie Currie – Colorful Smoky Eye:
- Apply Star Powder #922 (copper) onto the eye lid, all the way to the inner corner, stopping just shy of the outer corner.
- Using Aqua Eyes #3L (iridescent navy blue), line the lash line on the top and bottom lids. Robin’s tip: for the perfect smoky eye, the trick is to apply the eyeliner as close to the lash line as possible.
- Smudge the eyeliner on the top and bottom of the eye using a smudging brush to create a more fluid, blended look.
- Apply Eye Shadow #81(metallic navy blue iridescent) to the outer corner of the eye using a small flat brush, then drag the shadow into the crease very lightly.
- Tap the brush to remove any excess shadow and then blend the blue shadow line ever so slightly. Using the same brush, apply the blue eye shadow onto the bottom lash line to blend it out and create a smoky effect.
- Curl the lashes, then apply Smoky Lash Mascara going up and out to accentuate and elongate the eye.

Had you not said that was Dakota I would not have recognized her. Kristen looks right on as Joan but I could still tell it was her.
I didn’t recognize Dakota either, but I love the colors that were used.
I luv this look every sense the smoky eye lifted off I have adapted it. It makes a womens eyes look just that more sexy.
