Rihanna's Metallic Eyes

Rihanna has been seen wearing bold and daring makeup, but she pulls off neutral smokey eyes just as well. I never thought that these metallic colors could be paired this well together!This look can be worn everyday, just add more gray smudge for a night out.

Step 1: Sweep a bronze gold all over lids and extend above your crease.

Step 2: Top your lid with a light gold dusting.

Step 3: Add some deep bronze into your crease and blend in small circles.

Step 4: Lightly brush a nude shade above the brown bone and blend up from the crease.

Step 5: Use liquid liner on your top lid and line your waterline with a creamy pencil.

Step 6: Take a small eyeshadow brush and tap gray shadow under lower lashes. Next gently smudge it with a q-tip.

Step 7: Using a small eyeshadow brush, dab silver into you inner corners.

Right from the Runway: Round 2

One of my favorite things to do when watching a runway show is to imagine the person that would wear it. When I see crazy, flamboyant gowns center stage, I try to imagine how someone would wear that and add a touch of their personality to it. Enjoy Round 2!
Beyonce is not only the queen of glitz and glam, she can wear it too. This Balmain dress is a sure show stopper, but should we expect anything less from her? This diva wows the crowd once again with lots of sparkles and shine! I personally am not a big fan of those earrings but the plum T-strap heels look so much better with the dress than the black and silver ones.
I love wearing a dress all year round. Lucy Lui's version is a summer essential; just add a belt and strappy sandals to the crisp white dress. The runway version looks amazing in the winter with dark sheer tights and black heels. By adding the tights to keep you warm, this dress is a staple to any girl's glamourous wardrobe.
This actual dress I don't like very much, however I like the ideas that both the model and Rihanna have given me. The Zac Posen dress on the runway has insane jewelry so the other accessories (i.e. shoes) are cute and simple. Rihanna chose bold gloves and shoes for her dress so the other accessories (i.e. jewelery, clutch) are understated as to not take away from the key proponents of her outfit.
This is one of my favorite gowns of that season. January Jones (isn't that a pretty name?) was a Greek goddess in her flowing gown with shimmery gold details. The runway dress is a little bit shorter and I think I like that better because I like her shoes so much! Lol The gold cuffs are magnificent! I am going to have to try wearing a bold bracelet on each wrist because I love this so much!

The first time I saw this dress I thought it was a little boring. Upon closer inspection, I saw that the details were incredible! The fine beading is super pretty and suites the traditional lbd well. I have been completely obsessed with Balmain's shoes ever since the first day I saw them, so the runway dress scores more points with me. However, Anne has a diamond bracelet so of course I like that too! :)

Would You Dare to Wear...??

First up is Amy Adams's leaf earrings and I love them! I will always be obsessed with large costume jewelry, but real diamonds are even better! The emerald green plays off her auburn locks beautifully and the diamonds dripping down her neck are to die for.

Nicole Kidman is one classy lady and a classy lady knows no such thing as too many diamonds. I think she did a wonderful job pairing these insane jewels with a very simple gown.

A crisp white dress is not finished without some bright colored jewels. This turquoise color pops against her olive skintone and emphasizes her chestnut strands.
I am known for wearing humongous earrings...but just one?? I think it would look better if the one earring was cut in half and shared with her other ear. ;) Props to Jordin for rocking big bling fearlessly!

Rhianna's metallic earrings are fabulous with her studded leather jacket! (I so want those bangs!!)
I think Kim's necklace is creative and totally trendy. I like how she's wearing a lot of jewelery with her suit too so it doesn't seem stiff.
