THERE WILL BE BLOOD

An exclusive look at Twilight's vampire beauty routine.

Kristen Stewart's makeup in Twilight may be minimal - as the low-maintenance mortal Bella Swan, she's not exactly a fan of mascara - but that doesn't mean everyone in the vampire saga has a bare face.

That's especially true for the second movie, New Moon, where new fangs come out to play, bringing an otherworldly glamor usually seen on runways, not the undead.

Enter Michael Angelo, the hair wizard responsible for NYLON cover girl Lydia Hearst, and dozens of other catwalk queens (not to mention several movie stars we're too discrete to mention).  For Twilight's second installment, Michael was asked to take vampire Heidi - played by NYLON model Noot Seear - and make her hair sparkle in the sun.

Michael managed the task without drawing blood, thanks to Shu Uemura's Full Shimmer collection, which somehow infuses locks of hair with a spooky, sexy glimmer - perfect for a vampire whose special talent is "creating illusions of someone's desires."

The first look of Noot Seear's hair and makeup for Twilight is below.  Get your first peek now, your second at New Moon, and your third on September 15, when Michael Angelo's art exhibit, The Lipstick Portraits, debuts in NYC, with a giant photo of Noot getting auctioned for charity.

And they say vampires are cold blooded...
