What I Want Want Want

Inspired by the video. Here's a not-so-everyday-look, though I know it's not as extreme as Rihanna's.


Step 1: Prep your face. Apply a cream base all over your eyelids. The good thing is that her eyebrows aren't defined, so I didn't bother doing anything to mine.

Step 2: Using a copper shadow, apply liberally from the inner corners to the middle of your eyelid, make sure to go over the crease itself. Using a true purple shadow, extend the shadow to the outer corners and past your eyebrows, near your hairline.

Step 3: Using a fushia pink, extend the eyeshadow above the purple - again, you want it close to your hairline. Blend with your fingers.

Step 4: Add a golder shimmery shadow to the center of your lids. Line eyes top of your eyelids with a black (pencil) liner.

Step 5: Line lower eyelids with black (pencil) liner, then blend with the copper shadow. Make sure it goes a little lower behind your lashline. Curl lashes & add mascara to your upper & lower lashes.

Step 6: Use bronzer under your cheekbones to accentuate. Sucking in always helps to know where to bronze. Highlight with an orange-y blush - we don't want the blush to compete with the crazy eyeshadow, so stay away from pinks / purples.

Step 7: Concealer on the lips for a nude color.

Step 8: The fun (and kind of weird) part: drawing that random black line on your lower lip. I used liquid liner for better precision (and so it's easier to take off). Then apply clear gloss on the surrounding lip area.

Touch up any colors (if you want it brighter with more definition).

End result:
