When I saw Rihanna at the 2009 American Music Awards last night, it was apparent that her makeup maven, celebrity makeup artist Mylah Morales, looked to the runway for inspiration.
If you followed New York Fashion Week, then you'll know that Pat McGrath, the P&G Global Creative Design DIrector, made up models' eyes in a similar fashion for Prada F/W '09 show. The star product? M.A.C. PRO Glitter in Reflects Rust, $20.
According to Style.com, the theme was female empowerment. "Prada's women, with their violently frizzed-up hair, certainly had a disconcerting look about them as they advanced, with red-rimmed, glitter-ringed eyes catching the light with a nearly malevolent glint."
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I never envisioned female empowerment quite like this. Their description makes me think of demon-possessed prostitutes in the age of Sherlock Holmes and Jack the Ripper. Just saying. Can you even imagine?
Thanks to Who What Wear, I know Rihanna wore an electric, custom blend of two Make Up For Ever Pure Pigment Powders: No. 4 and No. 6
. Morales applied the two-toned pigment with a damp skinny eyeliner brush. She then completed Rihanna's statement-making eyes with several coats of CoverGirl's LashBlast mascara.
What do you think? Are you feeling Rihanna's look?
