Kristen & Beau Nelson talk about working together
Red carpet magic
In a world filled with online bullies and worst-dressed list, it can be daunting to break the mold when you're in the spotlight. That is, unless you've got a trusted friend by your side behind the scenes.
Kristen Stewart, Young Hollywood's crown jewel, is anything but play-it-safe when it comes to her beauty looks - and that's in large part thanks to makeup artist turned close friend Beau Nelson. "Kristen has a rebellious spirit. She doesn't want to look like everyone else - she wants to do it better," he says of his longtime client.
"I know when I work with [Beau] that he's excited to show people something they've never seen before," Kristen tells Teen Vogue. "It's not a job to him. It really is his art." When the pair do venture into more conventional Old Hollywood beauty territory, it's always with a clever twist. At this year's Cannes Film Festival, at left, Kristen rocked electric-red lips paired with a dewy taupe shimmer on her eyes. And Beau made sure to showcase her favorite feature: "Kristen loves her freckles," he says. "I taught her how to apply foundation with a damp sponge so it won't cover them up."
Now in their fourth year of working together, the duo seem to have the most fun when the makeup comes off. "One time we stayed out all night singing karaoke," Beau says with a laugh. "I feel like she's a little sister to me."
Far from the public eye, the starlet taught him the most important beauty lesson of all: "I've learned from her that as much as we play with makeup, she's the most beautiful naturally," Beau says. "She knows who she is. I respect and love that about her."

New/old interview for Balenciaga Florabotanica with Savoir Flair
We spoke to Kristen Stewart about becoming the face of the Florabotanica Balenciaga fragrance and working with Nicolas Ghesquière.
Kristen Stewart might be best known for her role as Bella in the Twilight series, but her vitae speaks to her many acting accomplishments. She’s been Joan Jett and Marylou, but, to designer Nicolas Ghesquière, she is also the quintessential Balenciaga girl. Recently tapped to be the face of the Florabotanica Balenciaga fragrance, Stewart has gotten to spend time with one of her favorite brands and designers, and has worked hard to understand the essence of the Balenciaga name. She is nothing if not a thoughtful and intelligent young woman – a fact that becomes radiantly clear in this interview. When asked what she identified with most in Balenciaga, Stewart responded, “Honestly it is evocative. It makes you think. It always strikes a perfect balance between elegance and modernity or represents a stark version of either – which I love. The brand, because of its sense of very unexpected creativity, manages to really lead the way while remaining very true to its artistic initiative. I love the fact that wearing Balenciaga makes you feel unique.” For fans of the brand, it’s clear to see that she nails its ethos.
Beyond understanding Balenciaga, Stewart understands how she fits into the framework; “I recognize myself when I wear it, which is important,” she shares. The Florabotanica fragrance, which she describes as “refined yet assertive”, embodies the youthful exuberance of Stewart herself. “The fragrance is everything I like,” she describes, “it is natural, feminine, and original – three things I value very much.” For Stewart, working with a brand she admires and a fragrance she loves is an “honor”, and so is it to work with Nicolas Ghesquière. “Nicolas has a creative energy that is undeniably magnetic and very igniting, utterly contagious and inspiring. Being around Nicolas in his element is one of my most valued experiences. He is such a sweet person, so professional, and one of my all-time favorite artists. It was a very nice experience.”
For the Florabotanica advertising campaign, shot by Steven Meisel, Ghesquière envisioned a “strange garden”, one that was filled with plants both good and evil. At the center of this exotic landscape he places Kristen Stewart, whom he felt embodied all aspects of Balenciaga from its classicism to its experimental nature. It’s rare that the marriage of celebrity and product is this successful on so many levels. From Stewart’s unbridled enthusiasm for the fragrance and the brand to the transmission of the brand’s codes via the young actress, the pairing of Stewart and Balenciaga make for the perfect match

What does the Balenciaga brand represent to you and what do you like the most about it?
"Honestly it is evocative. It makes you think. It always strikes a perfect balance between elegance and modernity or represents a stark version of either. Which I love! Completely unafraid. The brand, because of its sense of very unexpected creativity, manages to really LEAD the WAY while remaining very true to its artistic initiative. I love the fact that wearing Balenciaga makes you feel unique."
How would you describe the Balenciaga woman? What’s her style? Do you recognize yourself into that woman?
"She is free. One can tap into qualities they might not know they have wearing Balenciaga. For me it’s a boldness. A very seductive assertiveness. I recognize myself when I wear it, which is important."
What is your relationship with fashion?
"I am very comfortable with it. I am usually one for simplicity and my style is casual most of the time, but I like to go just as far in the other direction. I love pushing boundaries and bringing different aspects of myself to the surface with what I wear."
How do you feel about being the face of this fragrance? To what extent is this new fragrance faithful to your personality?
"It is a huge honour for me as I’ve always loved this brand. The fragrance is everything I like; it is natural, feminine, and original. Three things I value very much."
How would you describe this fragrance? What do you like about it?
"For me the fragrance is refined yet assertive. Its floral nature makes it alive and young."
What about the design of the bottle?
"The bottle is very modern and intriguing. I’d love to see a massive structure of the same design. They really went for it; of course. I want to know what that bottle has inside it."
According to you what makes a good fragrance?
"For me, a good fragrance has to take you by surprise. Most importantly it has to be natural: aromatically and in spirit. Sometimes wearing the right scent can give you an unexpected sensuality."
Are you wearing fragrance?
"Yes. I feel that wearing a fragrance adds the final touch to your look... very nice experience."
