I asked on Twitter and Facebook if anyone could guess the inspiration for this look and only one managed to! And I thought the hoodie would be a dead giveaway. "Love The Way You Lie" by Eminem featuring Rihanna is one of my favorite songs at the moment and the moment I saw Rihanna's makeup, I knew I had to recreate it. Uh, Megan Fox is so hot in the video too. Should I do a tut for her makeup? It's pretty simple though.Read on for more pics and product listing!
Thank goodness the music video was HD on YouTube. I based this look off the stills. It was a dark greyish purple smokey, black-rimmed with fluttery lashes. The cheeks were orange and lips were a glossy nude pink.
My interpretation is not completely exact but the idea is there, I think.

hi there connie! i love the make up very much..i was wonder if u could help me finding make up brushes online..since i hardly to get the brushes in my place..thanks!
omfg so stunning!!!!! (boo to me for not guessing it right... lol) i agree with the others, urs is so much nicer than rihanna's! it's like plum, purple, grey, blue, black all in one i don't even know how to describe the colour!
Oh! You hinted in Twitter and I was like, DO IT DO IT! There I was scrounging in your Blog LOL ~_~
Actually, I hadn't seen the MV, so the hoodie kept me on Twilight instead :P
As usual, flawless blending...Oh my...6 eyeshadows in one seamless look :O
Tine: That's sweet of you to say that. Thanks dearie :)
Jojoba: I would love to see your rendition! None of us have Rihanna's eyes so it's always interesting to see how a similar look would appear on different eye shapes
myn: My brushes are usually from elf and coastalscents. there are many online spreers who take orders from those sites. CS ships international too. Brushes locally can be expensive.
Ee Von: haha, 'tis alright. because I mix so many colors it got confusing :x Thank you!
Sue Lynn: That's why! I was expecting you to guess it right :p Thanks, babe. I didn't intend on using so many colors but I wanted to get the look perfect. still not quite the color that Rihanna was using! If I had the actual color I probably wouldn't hv to use so many...
