celebrity crush: inspired by Rihanna's 2014 NYE look



Today is the first installment of my celebrity crush series! Please leave any requests for celebrity inspired looks in the comment section or on my social media!! This was inspired by the look Rihanna wore to bring in the New Year. As soon as I saw it on my newsfeed I fell in love. It was simple, clean and so fresh in a sea full of dark, smokey and typical NYE looks. Sometimes you just need a bright pop of color to liven up your winter. As always, please try the look out with products already in you collection. Enjoy!


the eyes:

-As always, start by priming your eyes with your favorite eyeshadow primer or base. (Lorac Behind the Scenes Primer)
-Next, use a medium warm brown matte shadow in your crease as a transition shade. This will help the following shadows to blend easier. (Urban Decay #Buck)
-With a flat shadow brush, pack a bronze shadow or bronzer all over the lid. (Maybelline Dream Sun Bronzer)
-To highlight the center of the lid, pack a shimmery gold shadow only in the center. (Urban Decay #Half Baked)
-Using a smaller blending brush, blend a darker warm brown shadow directly in the crease for extra depth to the look. (Lorac #Sable)
-With a black kohl eyeliner line your upper lash line. (Jordana 12hr Made to Last Liquid Eyeliner #Black Point)
-Next with a detail brush, pack a black matte shadow along the eyeliner to set it. (Lorac #Black)
-Make sure to highlight your brow bone with a matte shadow a few shades lighter than your skin tone (NYX Nude Matte Shadow #IHaveAHeadache).
-To brighten your eyes, line your waterline with a nude waterproof liner. (Rimmel Scandaleyes Kohl Kajal #Nude)
-Don't forget to apply mascara! (Lancome Hypnose Star Mascara)
-Rihanna had very dramatic lashes on, but to make this a little more wearable for everyday I chose a light natural pair. (Ardell Naturalites #21)


the lips:
-Line your lips with a magenta lip liner. (NYX Lip Liner Pencil #Sand Pink)
-Apply a matching magenta lipstick. (Bite Beauty High Pigment Pencil #Amarone)
