Rihanna "Diamonds" Music Video & Makeup Look

We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky....

Rihanna has finally released her video for her amazingly awesome song Diamonds!!!

I had patiently waited for this video for weeks, and now it's HERE! \o/

In this video, Rihanna SLAYED.

The video plays out like a mysterious story. You'll see a bit of chaos during the video, but even through the chaos, the lovely Ri-Ri is at peace :)

Diamonds music video also highlights the different elements like earth, water, wind, and fire in each different scene. Don't know why. It just does. *shrugs*

Sidenote: Did yall see that arm of the hand she was grabbing throughout the video?!? Did that arm remind you of anyone in particular *cough* Chris Brown *cough* or was it just me?

And, of course, her lovely eye makeup in the video just takes the cake!

You can see the Diamonds video below:

I loved her makeup in the scenes with the horses, so I recreated the makeup look and made it my own :)

Makeup Look: Nicki Minaj "I Luv Dem Strippers" Music Video Inspired

Yes, that's why I'm crowned queen, and I ain't lookin' for the prom king!

This makeup look was inspired by the look Nicki Minaj wore in 2 Chainz music video for the song "I Luv Dem Strippers". Yes, I know, the title of the song can be quite off-putting....

but I love my rachet music, and this song fits the bill! Don't judge me... ( .__.)

No...I'm not cross-eyed. I'm just not photogenic. At all.

Makeup Look In Honor Of Domestic Violence Awareness Month

 

Hello my loves!

To the surprise of many, October is not only Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It's also Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

"The cycle of abuse ends with awareness."

After years and years of silence and indifference, it's great to see that our country is becoming more aware of what domestic violence is, and how it can affect any and every one.

I did this makeup look in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Purple is the official color associated with DVAM, so I used mostly that color for this look.

 

(close up of my bad skin...yay -__- )

Products Used

eyes

Wet N' Wild Vanity Palette (soft brown dupe as base color)

MAC Cutie Palette (used every color in the quad! White as highlight, light pink in crease & inner corner, Light lavender over the pink, dark purple in deep crease)

Wet N' Wild Greed palette (black shimmer color under lower lashes)

L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes mascara
