Greg James Gets The Edward Cullen Look
So it's only two days till you can feast your eye-holes on Edward, Jacob and Bella. We thought Radio 1's Greg James looks a tiny bit like Edward Cullen so invited super stylist Ciona Johnson-King (whose worked with the Twilight cast & crew) to give him an Edward Cullen make-over.

Ciona also gave us these handy hints for how you can get your own Edward look.
Hair.
Edward has a bed head look.
1. Use some setting lotion at the roots and blow dry for root lift.
2. A wax will add texture to the hair, use a hairspray to set it.
3. It's important the hair goes in different directions and not just straight up.
Complexion.
Edward has a pale icy complexion, with bruised coloured lips, dark eyes and black or golden eyes depending on whether he's hungry or fed.
A Cullen vampire is not gothic so no white make up and black clothes.
1. Pale the complexion with a light foundation.
2. use a 'mud' colour eyeshadow around the eyelash roots for that dark brooding Cullen stare.
3. A touch of red near the lashes really emphasises the vampire look.
4. Shade just underneath the cheek bones to enhance them, he's a handsome vampire.
5. Tint the lips with a bruised coloured lipstick, blend with the fingers.
Here's where it gets really special, exposed the the sunlight Edwards skin sparkles like millions of crushed diamonds. For this effect add the following two products..
1. A white shimmer powder softly brushed over the skin.
2. Fine silver glitter to be dabbed over the skin. Use a spray or one suspended in liquid for ease of use.

your show is quality mate.
I'm a drama student....kinda like you were. This make up is so like in the movie I'd give you an Oscar for that Cullen stare. Always listening to the show, especially movie news with mr James King.
cheers Jonny ; )
