Rihanna "Love the way you lie" Smoky Eye

This look is from the new Rihanna & Eminem video for the song "The Way you Lie". In the video she wears a super dark smoky eye, peachy cheeks and pink lips. I love the makeup she's wearing and this is a great look for a night out if you want to do something really daring and sexy.

I love Rihanna's makeup in this video. Its a super dark black smoky eye with pink lips. She looks so good even with that crazy red hair!

The Grammy's - Oh What A Night

The Grammys were held last Sunday and they were filled with all the biggest stars. There wasn't any major gossip or drama like past reward shows recently (Kanye stealing Taylor's spotlight or Chris brown brawl with Rihanna) it was just really good music and really good performances.

One word especially came to mind - DIVA! All the big time Divas were there - Beyonce, Celine, Pink, JLO, Rihanna, Fergie all brought it to the red carpet and looked fabulous.

Some of my favorites:

Lady Gaga of course! Brilliant as always. She opened the night with a beautiful duet with Elton John. She had several wardrobe looks for the night all done by Giorgio Armani. Every look was more over the top then the one before. You can really tell a difference with her makeup since she's started working with new makeup artist Billy B! He's amazing - you should check out his work if you love makeup.

Rihanna's dress was definitely a show stopper. She wore a white haute couture gown by Elie Saab that had feather detailing all over the front and neck. Rihanna always goes for something daring and different - that's why I love her style.

My favorite performance of the night (other than Gaga) was Pink. Who else can pull off a nude body suit with straps covering her "privates" as an outfit. She looked amazing, I loved the song she sang and her voice was perfect. Both Pink and Rihanna had similar faux hawks and wore similar silver white eye shadow on their eyes.

Beyonce was gorgeous as always. Her performance was good but a little predictable. She wore her hair sleek straight and a black smoky cat eye. She picked up 6 Grammys in total!!

Fergie looked sooo good, better than she has in a while. Her blue Emilio Pucci mini fit her like a glove. And her choc late brown hair with peachy nude makeup was a perfect match.

I was very impressed with Miley Cyrus - she looked hot and sexy and a little bit of Rock and Roll. Her short Max Azria dress showed off her best feature - her legs. She wore a strong smokey eye and pink nude lips and her hair was left loose and tousled. Love it!

Carrie Underwood was pretty perfection. Her voice sounded amazing during her MJ tribute song. Both her and Jennifer Hudson should make American Idol very proud!!

Katie Perry was a little retro, a little 70's, a little Indian princess. She wore bright colors on her eyes and a traditional Indian Bhindi. I can't believe she's already engaged to Russel Brand.

Glee's Lea Michele looked jaw-dropping in her navy Romona Keveza dress. It showed off her legs and shoulders and made her waist look tiny. I'm a big fan of the show. If you haven't seen it....watch one episode - you'll be hooked.

Now for my least favorites:

Taylor Swift had a huge night winning 'Album of the Year'. She was cute as she always is but I didn't like her long blue gown. The cut of the neck and shoulders looked really awkward to me. And she wore her hair and makeup as she always does.

Jlo - wasn't a huge fan of the dress, the hair or the makeup. Sorry but I miss the old JLO.

Oh Britney, britney, britney.....as much as I love you, what in the world were you thinking wearing this outfit?? See-through, black lace Dolce & Gabbana dress over a bodysuit, paired with fishnet stockings??? I'm so confused. Where are her people?Let me know which Grammy look you would like me to recreate.

Hot Mess Monday - Rihanna

She is just dying for attention. Here is Rihanna in a zebra cut out dress and possibly the ugliest pointed tow shoes I have ever seen.

Happy Monday!

Hot Mess Monday - Rihanna

I am not even going to say anything about her cheap Costa Blanca looking outfit...oh, I guess I just did say something... My real issue with this is her shoes...please refer to her feet. WHAT IS THAT???? WHY??? WHO MADE THOSE AND WHY ARE THEY SO FUG????

Fabulous Friday - Rihanna & Kim Kardashian

Here is Rihanna stepping out in Paris, looking ultra stylish in harem pants, a shrunken blazer and lace top. I think she looks extremely fashion forward. I personally am not a fan of harem pants, but I think that certain people can pull the off, especially when paired with a pair of always fabulous Christian Louboutins.

Our second beauty is Kim Kardashian, exiting the Ritz Carlton in New York City. Some people tell me that the Kardashian's get too much shine on this blog, ugh, no names will be mentioned, but to their defense - and mine - they always looks fabulous. Kim, has an amazing stylist and wonderful make up artists so she will be on Fabulous Friday from time to time. Now, back to the original topic...here is Kim rocking a one should grey dress and immaculate make up. I also love her old Hollywood hair.

I can't express to you how happy I am that it is finally FRIDAY!

Hot Mess Monday - Victoria Beckham, Rihanna and Taylor Momsen

This Monday we have three times the fun. These outfits were so bad that I had to post them immediately. First up we have Victoria Beckham...

Vicky, I love you, but this is too much. First off, the eye make up...why? Seriously, why?! Why do you need so much?! You look like you have two black eyes!! Next, the outfit and shoes. Although thigh high boots are the "it" thing...these Gucci's make me think of dirty hookers...is that strange? Paired with that dress, she should have left Fashion Night Out at Bergdorf Goodman's and gone to the corner...

Next up we have Rihanna...

The alien has landed. Rihanna's style has gotten crazier and crazier. I hate this hooded dress and the studded booties. Don't even get my started on her sunglasses. All I want to know is....can you see?! Where is her stylist?! Someone help her!!!

Last, but not least...ladies and gentlemen...may I present to you Taylor Momsen...age 16...

Courtney Love in training...I think her mother is getting parenting tips from Dina Lohan. Taylor will be in rehab by the time she is 19, if not sooner. If this girl isn't a hot mess, then I don't know what is...

Happy Monday!!

Hot Mess Monday - Rihanna

Missoni has managed to make another hideous piece. This dress looks like an awkward scarf that Rihanna has used to wrap around herself. The fringe makes it even more heinous. I feel sorry for the poeple of Manhattan that had to see this in real life. Guess what else I'm not feeling about this look...her hair! What is she thinking? Rihanna usually has pretty wild, funky hair, but it usually also looks nice...

Happy Monday!

Fabulous Friday!

It's Friday ladies!! Since we have Hot Mess Monday, I thought it would switch it up and have Fabulous Friday for your viewing pleasure. This is Rihanna sizzling in New York City. I love everything about this outfit. Her dress is incredible. I love the nude with the black ruching. It is so sexy without being over the top. I even like her hair! Her make up also looks perfect. The only thing I would maybe change are her pumps. I think she could have gotten away with something a little more sexy. Overall I must say that she looks fabulous! This dress has my name written all over it. Rihanna, my people will be in touch with your people...

Have a fantastic weekend everyone!

Rihanna People Magazine Cover

This is a request but has SO much more in it!!!!!

I LoVe this look and am VERY pleased with how it all came together. I did forget to record the fact that I used Vanilla as my brow bone color, oops!!! Let me know what you think and if you see any other pictures you want me to recreate, let me know!!!!
