    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.

Her makeup palette is as follows: Jensen “blended shades of vibrant purple over a black cream liner.” He listed four products to get the look: Maybelline Color Tattoo in Potent Purple, Essence STAYS no matter what jumbo eye pencil & shadow in Powerful Purple, Sephora Eye Graphic 4 Colors Palette in Violet Smoky, and Hard Candy Shadowholic 12-Hr Waterproof Eye Crayon in Purple Rain.
