How to copy makeup from Black Swan

Fashionistas with a Grazia magazine subscription can find out how to copy the makeup from psychological thriller Black Swan.

One of the makeup artists on the hit film, which stars Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis, told Grazia magazine all about the techniques she used for the flick.

Margie Durand said: "We applied a pale ivory foundation with a white cream highlight on the forehead and cheekbones."

She said they used a black shade for the swan's eyes and, using "feathery brushstrokes", donned a silver hue of eyeshadow over the top.

Natalie's lips were lined with a blood-red liner, then she used Mac's Dubonnet lipstick.

"We then lined the under eye with a thin line using Mac Chromaline in Red," she told Grazia magazine.

Black Swan was released last weekend in the UK and has proved to be a box office hit so far.

Natalie won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress for her role in the flick, which has been nominated for five Oscars this year, including Best Motion Picture and Best Performance by an Actress in Leading Role.
