LOOKS I LOVE...Rihanna's costume and makeup for her new song, "Who's That Chick?"!



     Yes-I sound crazy, but no-I will not budge on the fact that I am largely in love with the costume, makeup, and set design of Rihanna's new song, "Who's That Chick?" Though I realize combining highlighter yellow with candy pink all on one face is usually a tragic incidence waiting to happen, in the special case of Rihanna, it works incredibly well. The wildly exciting, optical-illusion like set design uses  my favorite brightly saturated colors to make even a stubborn pop-hater get on their feet and bop around a little! 
     Back to the makeup; my favorite thing to experiment with lately is one solid, pop color eyeshadow...with no shading (gasp!). This unicolor feat has been seen in spring runway shows all over the place! Who said colors were only for the corners? Take one bright shade and sweep it from brow to lashes. Finish the edges in a geometric shape or a round curvature. Whatever you do, add some red lips to the mix!!! I promise, only the fashionably uneducated will judge :).
     About this costume! What is better suited to Rihanna than an asymmetrical tutu paired with candy pink, plastic leggings?! Everyone got yet another brilliant taste of Rihanna's world with this look as she put her diva status into full swing with this number. Though I'm not sure the leggings are practical in any manner for real life, they surely work in this made up world!
