Rihanna’s Hackney weekend beauty look

ELLE UK caught up with with make up artist Karin Darnell who was responsible for Rihanna Egyptian make up look. Info below reads how Darnell created Rihanna’s look…

On Sunday Darnell hotfooted it from the Isle of Wight to Radio 1’s Hackney Weekend where she created a completely different look for Rihanna. ‘It was a street Egyptian-inspired look, but more fashion than Egyptian!’ Darnell told us.

To get that Egyptian feel, Darnell applied a double liquid line underneath and on top of the eyes. To avoid it looking too retro, Darnell ‘painted straighter lines on Rihanna’s eyelids, rather than an upward sweep’.

Rihanna’s foundation was Dolce & Gabbana, while the powder Darnell used on top was by Iman; on cheeks there was a subtle blend of bronzer and peachy blush by Givenchy. Finally, on the singer’s lips Darnell used Mac’s classic lipstick Ruby Woo, £13.50. (via ELLE)
