Stewart’s “tired but stunning” glam is both relatable and undeniably chic at the same time. The star didn’t want to go overboard with makeup, opting for a minimalist approach, and the results are festive, autumnal, and refreshingly different.
To achieve the look, Stewart used a wine-colored shadow—the hue of the season—and applied it on the upper part of her cheekbones to connect them with the eyes. Thus, in a very subtle way, this blush-shadow brings a touch of intensity to the upper and lower eyelids. The blur effect signals fatigue rather than a doe-eyed freshness, but oh, it looks so good! By opting for a very thin layer of mascara and skipping eyeliner altogether, Stewart kept the overall effect natural. The specific color had the added effect of making her eyes appear even greener.
She finished off the look with a touch of color and a smidge of shine on her lips and a messy top knot.

The Chronology of Water is Stewart’s feature film directorial debut, starring Imogen Poots, Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon, Thora Birch, and Jim Belushi. The film is based on the book by Lidia Yuknavitch, but was written for the screen by Stewart herself. Suffice it to say, Kristen Stewart has put her all into this film—and we’ll probably see plenty more of her as she embarks on a press tour. We can only hope for more “tired girl” inspo to come.
