Adele Grammy's Performance 2012 Inspired Makeup!

The main reason I watched the Grammy's was to look at all the beautiful makeup that everyone was wearing. Though everyone still looked beautiful, I was kinda disappointed to see that mostly all the celebrities had very minimal makeup looks. Even Nicki Minaj, who always has some kind of dramatic look, was wearing a natural look!
When Adele did her performance of "Rolling In The Deep', I was immediately drawn to her makeup. Her makeup was fabulous and I knew I had to re-create it for you all!

 

She had a light, neutral color on the lid with some soft purple tones through the crease and winged liner. When I saw this, I immediately thought of Sketch by MAC! Her lips had also changed from the classic red shade she was wearing on the red carpet, to a rosy nude. You can't tell from this picture, but she also was sporting a very heavy contour.

Rhianna "Fly" Music Video Inspired Makeup

This is my interpretation of Rhianna's makeup in the music video for the song "Fly" ft. Nikki Minaj. It's kind of hard to tell how her makeup looks in the video, because it's really dark and there's fog all around, but in the picture above posted during the making of the video on twitter, it shows it much better. To me, it looks like a very sultry purple smokey eye with winged liner and nude lips, so that's what I tried to recreate. Enjoy!
