If you’ve ever wondered how to look pretty like Rihanna, you’re in luck.
The singer’s longtime makeup artist, Karin Darnell, recently dished to Elle UK on how she makes the singer look gorgeous for shoots and music videos.
Here are some of Karin’s tips and tricks:
On getting a smoky eye right
“On Rihanna I like to blend a smoky shadow out under the lower lash line to enlarge the eyes up and out towards the temples. Again, blending is key to getting this right. I hadn├óΓé¼Γäót used this look for a while, but dipped back into it for the Rude Boy video. For me smoky is a haze, it doesn├óΓé¼Γäót have to be black it just needs to be a wash of color. Dark lilac can still appear impactful once mascara and liner is applied. On the Rockstar video I warmed black, smoky eyes with claret and burnt orange shadows.”
On the perfect lip color
“I use a lot of rich berries on Rihanna. For the Ti Amo video I used a deep, dark berry lipstick. I then applied a berry gloss in the middle of the lip to break it up. Light in the centre, whether it├óΓé¼Γäós a clear gloss or a hint of pink or red, will give dark lip colors warmth.”
On colored mascara
“I├óΓé¼Γäóve used coloured mascara on Rihanna before ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ a modern way to wear this is to colour match the mascara to your eyeshadow. Go for a dark blue, green or purple and pair with a similar eyeshadow shade. It├óΓé¼Γäós a great look for a night out.”
On her new hair
“She has been dying to go red for ages. It├óΓé¼Γäós a fun change for the summer, she├óΓé¼Γäós young so she likes to experiment with new looks.”
