Rihanna 2014 CFDA Makeup
Rihanna CFDA Makeup: All the makeup details from celebrity makeup artist Mylah Morales. Like her liberating Swarovski gown and crystal durag, Rihanna’s makeup was just as hypnotic. And now, thanks to Mylah’s assistant stealing her phone, I have all the details! “My inspiration for Rihanna’s look was her dress and her head wrap,” Morales said. “The minute I saw them, I knew immediately what I was going to do. I texted [Rihanna] and said, ‘Give me your face. I can’t wait to create!'” Rihanna CFDA Makeup: Keri Lotion Sultry smokey eyes and a sexy nude mouth were the order of the night.

Rihanna AMAs Makeup
I missed this year’s American Music Awards but thanks to my Instagram feed, I was able to catch the highlights. Of course, Rihanna stole the show. The Empress (as the Navy calls her) won the first-ever Icon Award with a classic cat eye, glowing skin, nude talons…and a smooth doobie. Yes, you read that right: a sleek wrap with bedazzled bobby pins was the look Rihanna chose to accept the special merit award at the American Music Awards.

I do not own her coveted lippie for a cause yet,…

Color Story: Rihanna’s Hottest Red Eyeshadow Looks
With crimson ruling as the calling card of the fearless (or freaky, depending on who you ask) on the runways, it’s no wonder why we’re not owning “Little Red Riding Eyes” this season. Sure, we’ll rock the hell out of a crisp, matte Ruby Woo’d pout, but sporting hot flashes as eyeshadow or eyeliner? Leave that task to Chanel Iman or Jasmine Tookes. Enter Barbados bombshell Rihanna. The “Talk that Talk” performer, who consistently collaborated with her makeup artists Mylah Morales and Karin Darnell, took a garish, high fashion trend and demystified it by wearing it in ways that cemented her as a beauty icon. A coveted trend for Spring 2012,…
