Style.com is reporting that Emma will be fronting another beauty line with Lancôme, this time for their ‘Rouge in Love’ lipstick and nail colour range. In their mini-interview with Emma, they find out what beauty products Emma swears by and her favourite picks from her make-up bag. You can check out the entire interview here in the press archives.
Emma Watson hung up her wizard hat this summer after the final chapter of the “Harry Potter” saga his theaters – and the Brit beauty has wasted no time putting Hermione Granger behind her. She’s got two new movies: “My Week With Marilyn”, out next month, and “The Perks of Being a Wallflower”, which will be released next year. And then there’s her new gig as the face of Lancôme’s Rouge in Love lipstick and nail polish range, which arrives in stores on Valentine’s Day (the actress already appears in ads for the French brand’s fragrance, Trésor Midnight Rose). Here, she shares her beauty essentials.
Lancôme Hypnôse Doll Lashes
“I’m big into Twiggy so I do bottom lashes and top lashes. This is really cool because it’s specifically designed to get that look.”
Lancome Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover
“Way before I became the Lancôme ambassador, I was using the Bi-Facil. You can just leave it on to soak up your eye makeup and it doesn’t feel like your skin is being stripped away.”
Beauty Icon: Mia Farrow
“Going backwards, I love the naturalness of Jane Birkin and the French actresses who don’t look like they are trying too hard – which is definitely the coolest. But Mia Farrow was the big inspriation for the haircut.”

The Post Gazette has released the second promotional still of Emma Watson and Logan Lerman as Sam and Charlie from the 2012 indie “The Perks of Being a Wallflower”. A new interview with Emma about prepping and campaigning for the movie and her time with her co-stars has also been released. The first stills for “Perks” were released earlier this week by The NY Times.
“The Perks of Being a Wallflower” has a tentative 2012 release date and stars Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, Ezra Miller, Paul Rudd, Mae Whitman, Johnny Simmons and Nina Dobrev.
Edit! Picture has been replaced with high quality.
“I was very nervous before we started shooting. I was very nervous about the American accent,” she told a handful of reporters outside Peters Township High School. It doubles as Mill Grove High School in the story set largely in 1991-92.
Some of her cast mates, after all, had life experiences much like their movie characters — dances, football games, pep rallies and even graduation in white gowns (for the girls) and black gowns (for the boys) and matching mortarboards.
“They went to an American high school, they know what prom looks like, all these little details that I had no idea about. So I was a little neurotic.
“My script was covered in notes about all these American words, American slang. I was quizzing my friends about high school and prom and everything, and then Steve was just like, ‘Emma, this is great and everything, but you just really need to let all of that go’ because he said he saw me as Sam, and it was kind of as simple as that.”

During the peak of “Potter” promotionals we were bombarded with a whole heap of new interviews, photos and videos of Emma. It seems, however, that one magazine fell under the radar; ‘8 Days‘ magazine, a British glossy, in their July edition featured a brand new interview with Emma. Accompanying the interview, a whole heap of new photos from Emma’s commissioned shoot with Mariano Vivanco. Scans can be seen here and we’ll hopefully have a transcript up soon. Scans courtesy of youmustbemrsweasley over at Tumblr.
As we told you guys last week, Emma is currently the covergirl for the Canadian edition of ‘Elle’ Magazine. ElleCanada.com have updated their site to feature their interview with Emma and have released a clearer shot from Emma’s photoshoot with Tom Munro.
Transcripts from the articles can be seen here (the interview) and here (style diary) in our press archives. Scans have been uploaded here in the galleries, while the new Munro shot can be seen here.
Emma Waston: Harry Potter star to fashionable force – Elle Canada November 2011
The fact that the daughter of two British barristers signed up to study English, history and art at the Ivy League school Brown University at the very pinnacle of her fame (when some other starlets end up scoring their first DUI arrest) is a tribute to her steely work ethic. But one can’t help but wonder if she feels like she has something to prove. “Schooling is important to me,” she says. “Having another part to me means that I don’t just feel valued for the way I look.”
But tackling a degree in the midst of a gruelling shooting schedule isn’t exactly child’s play. When Watson decided to take a semester off school, a maelstrom of media erupted, accusing her fellow students of bullying her right off the Ivy League commons—an accusation that she said was “beyond unfair” to the friends she made there. (Besides, she had even performed in the school production of Anton Chekhov’s Three Sisters.)

Emma’s Style Diary – Elle Canada November 2011
• “I’m English and I have a pale complexion, so I love blush.”
• “In the garden of my father’s house in London, we have jasmine growing on the balcony, so the scent of jasmine always makes me think of summer evenings and being outside.”
• “I still have lots of family and friends in Paris. My favourite places are Café de Flore, the Shakespeare and Company bookstore and walking along the Seine.”

NY Times have released an indepth and cohesive interview with Emma from the set of ‘Perks’. In the interview, Emma talks about the different experiences on set, her fondest memories, eating in a cafeteria, going to prom and much more! The movie is rumoured to be having a mid-2012 release. The entire interview can be read here in our press archives.
Accompanying the new interview, our first official look at Emma as Sam from the movie! The first promotional image from the film, also featuring Logan Lerman as Charlie, can be seen in our galleries; as can a new behind-the-scenes photo of Emma, Logan and director-writer-screenwriter Stephen Chbosky, which can be seen here in our galleries.
Edit! Both pictures have been replaced with high quality.
“Oh my goodness, so many firsts,” she said, speaking in an excited rush during a break from filming. “I did the prom! We all get dressed up and we go in a limo, and get photographs. It’s been really fun for me to get to graduate. Eating in the school canteen; all these things that I’ve always sort of said to my American friends, ‘Oh, that looks amazing, that looks so fun, I’m jealous.’ And I get to do it for this movie.”
And Ms. Watson, accustomed to acting alongside people and in a story she had known for a decade, “started freaking out,” she said. She threw herself into research, e-mailing friends about their high school experiences and worrying about how to create a bond with this new, unfamiliar clique. (Shades of the encyclopedic Hermione are there, and of Ms. Watson’s semesters at Brown University, where she plans to return to complete her undergraduate degree.)
But studiousness wasn’t necessary. They just hung out. They formed a hotel-room band: Mr. Miller drummed, Mr. Lerman played guitar, and Ms. Watson sang. They jokingly called themselves Octopus Jam. Friends dropped by; noise complaints followed. Before she knew it, the world of Hogwarts had receded.

As we’ve previously reported, Emma is covering this month’s issue of ‘Elle UK’. On newsstands in the U.K. now this issue features a new interview with Emma as well as a new photoshoot by Rankin. Scans from the editorial have been previously uploaded and you can check them out here in the galleries. There are also two videos online from the set of the photoshoot in Paris. Quotes from the article from Emma have been released and you can check them out below.
Two photos from the shoot have been released today, including: a clearer and larger shot of Emma’s bunny girl shot and a new image, a similar shot from the image featured on the cover. You can check out all the available photoshoot images here in the galleries.
“I’d never do a celebrity endorsement. Lancôme was taken aback by how much input I wanted to have. But I would never just put my name on something. It’s more interesting to have a genuine involvement with a brand, rather than showing up on the day and looking pretty. Also, as much as I do love fashion, I’m an actress first and foremost. Lancôme represents great actresses and that appealed to me.”
“Women are really hard on themselves and the media is really hard on us. Whenever I hear anyone say anything about another woman that’s negative about their image, I just jump on them.”
“Sometimes I feel as though everyone’s waiting with baited breath for the three of us from Harry Potter to do something that will perpetuate the child-star stereotype,” she told the November edition of UK magazine Elle. “I don’t know if I’m the least likely person to go off the rails, but I don’t see any need to. It’s not on my agenda. There are too many other things I want to do.”
She loves dancing and is also partial to an alcoholic beverage at times. “I’m not that much of a lightweight. My dad’s great hobby is wine, so it’s always been part of our family life,” she explained. “For someone so little, I don’t get drunk very easily. It’s quite a good talent. I’m not challenging anyone to a competition though!”
“I can’t even imagine what that kind of fame must be like. So many people must wish they were in [Rob Pattinson]‘s position and think that he has the best life, but actually… there are prices you pay. Don’t interpret that from my perspective; it’s not so bad for me. I’m not in Rob’s position, I don’t have people screaming and crying and clawing at me. I’m so grateful for that,” she said.
“I do worry about the expectation to look a certain way. I find LA quite scary because of that – all those young people having plastic surgery. But the thing is, I don’t want to look like everyone else. I don’t have perfect teeth; I’m not stick thin. I want to be the person who looks great in her body and can say that she loves it and doesn’t want to change anything. It’s ridiculous that that seems like such an unrealistic goal.”
“I think the actresses who are really successful are the ones who are comfortable in their own skins and still look human.”
As we reported previously, Emma was rumoured to be the new cover girl for the November issue of ‘Elle UK’. A teaser image and the subscriber’s cover have been revealed, but now we can also add the first unaltered image from the photoshoot by Rankin! A preview video for the behind-the-scenes video, introduced by Emma, has also been revealed and can be seen below.
Edit! A full length three minute behind-the-scenes video has been released and you can check it out here; scans from the feature have also been released and have been added to the galleries (courtesy of IKSYDK.com).
Edit! Clearer versions of her newsstand and subscription covers have also been released, thanks to Design Scene. Check out the newsstand cover here in the galleries or the subscription cover here in the galleries.
The magazine hits newsstands in the UK next week on Wednesday, 5th October 2011.
