Rihanna Inspired Makeup

The newest challenge on the Makeup Geek site is to do a look inspired by Rihanna.  I think she's an excellent source of inspiration because she wears all different types of makeup: heavy eye makeup with a nude lip, dark lips with less on her eyes, heavy eyes and dark lips, crazy bright colors, etc.  So when I was looking to see what I wanted to do, I stumbled across this picture

and I knew that this is the look I wanted to try to recreate since I feel like liner is one of my biggest weaknesses and this look is all about the liner.  

Haha first I knew I wanted this to be kinda edgy so I attempted to do a "fauxhawk" on my hair (which, might I add is not very easy to do with bangs), here's a picture my daughter took (hence the weird angle haha)

And here's the makeup I came up with

played around with black and white and the contrast within that

same picture in color

if you look really closely in Rihanna's picture, you can see where under her eye it almost looks glossy so I added some clear lipgloss under my eye

haha, you can't see what's happening on Rihanna's eyelids so I had to extrapolate a little bit

This was definitely a challenge for me to get my lines clean (I'm a "sketchy" drawer, I almost never have a smooth line, but like a million little lines) but I think I did alright.  I primarily used Revlon Colorstay black liquid liner for this but when I opened my eyes, some of the liner like broke off so I filled it in a little with "Black" eyeshadow by NYX.  The only color I have on my lids is Inglot's DS 496 which is a white.  And I have MAC "Myth" lipstick and a little bit of lip balm on my lips.  

I hope you guys like this.  Thanks so much for checking this out and good luck to anyone else who enters the contest!!!
