Beauty Bomb: Step-by-Step Celebrity Makeup!

Hey Bombshells!

It’s Eileen here for another Beauty Tuesday!

If you’ve ever longed for the looks of your fave celebs, I’m here to show you how to get it–step by step. Let’s go!

Gabrielle Union:

Gabrielle Union

Eyes: Use Pur Minerals Shadow in Chocolate Topaz on lids and highlight brow bone with MAC Eyeshadow in Phloof. Fill in sparse brows with Pur Minerals Mineral Brow Perfection.

Lips: Lips stay very bare so try a clear or light pink gloss like Josie Maran Plumping Lip Gloss in Daring. And it tastes yummy!

Cheeks: Sweep a blush on cheeks like Benefit Cosmetics Thrrrob and highlight cheekbones and temples with a highlighter like Benefit Cosmetics High Beam.

Christina Milian:

Eyes: Sweep Avon’s Perfect Wear Extra Lasting Shadow in Bronze over lids and highlight the brow bone with Lancome’s Eye Shadow in Positive.  Line the upper lid with MAC’s Liquid Eyeliner in black and use a black pencil for the lower lid to really make eyes pop.  Finish up with DiorShow Iconic Mascara in Black.

Lips: Line lips with a nude or clear lip liner like L’Oreal Automatic Lip Liner to keep color from bleeding out.  Fill in lips with Nars Lipstick in Funny Face.

Cheeks: Use a rosy shade of blush like Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Inspired by Carmindy in Cherub. Seal in the look with a bronzer like Smashbox O-Bronze Intuitive Cheek Bronzer.

Nails: For the pretty in pink nails, give yourself an at home mani with China Glaze Nail Polish in Shocking Pink.

Solange:

Solange Knowles

Eyes: Use earth tone shadows on the lid, crease and under the brow using medium, dark and light shades respectively.  Try LORAC Starry-Eyed Baked Eye Shadow Trio. Line the upper lid with a brown pencil to create a soft line like Neutrogena’s Nourishing Eye Liner in Brown Sugar. Brush brows and fill in as needed with Pur Minerals Universal Pencil in Natural to frame the face. Finish your eyes with a layer or two of Mascara in Dark Brown or Soft Black to upper and lower lashes.

Cheeks: Try using a soft blush like Bobbi Brown Blush in Tawny to create a natural glow.

Lips: To get Solange’s lips use a sheer pink lipstick.  Try Yves Saint Laurent Gloss Volupte Sheer Sensual Gloss Stick SPF 9 in Chilled Raspberry.

~Go forth and get gorgeous!

Beauty Verdict : Rihanna’s Long Red Nails

Rihanna was in a celebratory mood last night in NYC, smootching and licking movers and shakers at hot club spot Pink Elephant:

Rihanna Long Nails

While her leopard print top and gold chain look quite chic, my attention was immediately drawn to her long, pointy, red fingernails:

I personally go for a shorter square nail–it makes it easier to type! When my nails get too long, they become difficult to maintain (not to mention their clawlike appearance!).
What about you? How long do you go?

PS This is so random, but any Family Guy fans will find this hilarious:
