Pro: Kristen Stewart Can Look Like "Beauty or Wreck at the Same Time"

Kristen Stewart is pretty, that's for sure.
But her makeup artist, Robin Mathews, says The Runaways star, 19, is more than just a pretty face.
"She's the most chameleon-like actress that I’ve ever witnessed," Mathews tells Nylon magazine. "She can play a beauty or a wreck at the same time if she wants to... She just has a bone structure that allows her to be morphed into other things easily."

Still, that didn't mean it was easy for Stewart to turn into Joan Jett -- and for Dakota Fanning to become Cherie Currie -- for the recently released biopic.
"For The Runaways, we had binders in the makeup trailer with about 5,000 photos total, and then I lined the entire trailer with tons of photos of Cherie Currie and Joan Jett," Mathews says. "It was really important to get them to look as close to the real characters as possible, which meant doing a lot of chiseling."

Mathews -- who has also worked on the second and third installments of the Twilight movie franchise --even admits that she used "some prosthetic appliances" to complete Stewart's transformation.
The makeup pro also admitted that Kristen's turn as Bella in Twilight and New Moon was "tricky" because she "had to be a naturally pretty girl" surrounded by mythical vampires.

"She needs to be plain but beautiful at the same time," she says. "It’s all about the flawless skin and a naturally pretty cheek color."
Which was harder -- Joan Jett or Bella Swan?
The Runaways, she says, adding that it's difficult "recreating real people, icons."
Tell Us What You Think
13I just have a feeling that she is addicted to drugs, probably coke or heroin.
I love Kristen Stewart. She's a natural beauty and she is trying to be superficial about it. She's real and can act.
OMG what is fergie doing
kristen is cute, pretty and cool. I think her looks are misleading. She does look 'average' at first glance. Pretty but nothing great. But once you get closer and look at her beautiful eyes she grows on you. at least for me. she becomes really pretty when at close Oh of course she smiles. I think she tries to be serious and not screw up and look like a dork.
She does always look stoned, but in a way that is why I like her. She appears to be your typical girl, yet she is so complex. Her looks are so diverse and she is very beautiful
She always looks stoned.
FLAVOR OF THE MONTH......simple as that!!!
Would it kill her to smile enjoy her celebrity? Sure, it's refreshing to see a young actress refrain from flaunting her vajayjay all over Hollywood (Lindsay...I'm talkin' about you), but she's just plain ridiculous. Hey Kristen? Yea...we know you're trying to be a "serious actor", but put on some clean clothes (or even a dress every so often) and smile. I know you're totally nice and approachable to your fans, but the grimmaces and scowls makes you look ungrateful.
what's up with the huge bags under her eyes? she's only 19.
Every pic that I've seen her in, she looks like crap. I'll admit though, she's not as ugly as she was in Panic Room.
icon? on what planet. Joan Jett was always a hasbeen a one hit wonder
She's beautiful fo sure but she's not deserving of her beauty i'll tell you that much. Also this above pic is gag, it's for the JJ movie promotion she's doing.
She certainly doesn't look very pretty in this picture.
