BILLIE EILISH
Recently crowned the youngest artist in Grammy history for winning all four top categories, Billie Eilish is sure to walk more red carpets in her future. But even at the most star-studded events, Billie’s makeup looks are always about letting her natural features shine through. Rarely is she spotted with lengthy lashes and even a ravishing, red lip. Her lack of “typical celebrity glam” is an iconic look all on its own. Mimic her flawless-looking, but still natural, complexion with the Banila Co. It Radiant CC Cream. It offers a light amount of coverage, while also brightening up and evening out skin. Keep your Billie-esque brows neatly groomed by filling in just the sparse areas, and combing through them with a brow gel like the La Localita Better Brows Brow Gel. Finally, get lips looking hydrated and healthy just like hers, and with a flush of color, using the Glossier Flavored Balm Dotcom in “Cherry” or “Rose”.
RIHANNA
A career woman through and through, Rihanna’s already made history in the world of music, but her Fenty beauty brand has also garnered a cult following and made millions worldwide. Last year, she became the first woman to create an original brand at LVMH, a luxury corporation that has Louis Vuitton and Dior in their portfolio. From her gowns to her makeup, Rihanna doesn’t shy away from shimmer and sparkle and loves adding touches of highlighter wherever she can, especially of the gold variety. Lightly sweep a gold-tinged highlighter, like the E.L.F. Baked Highlighter in “Apricot Glow” over your cheekbones. Slowly build up as much as you want. With a more precise brush, apply the same highlighter underneath the brow bone, just on the cupid’s bow, and on the sides of your nose. Tie it together by swiping on a deep red or berry lipstick shade that Rihanna loves sporting, like the Pink Sugar Velvet Matte Lipstick in “Senorita”.
KYLIE JENNER
Kylie Cosmetics hit the beauty sphere like a tidal wave when it was launched, and it made Kylie Jenner the youngest, self-made billionaire at just 21 years old. While people are still raving about her brand, including her new skin care line, it’s her suddenly voluminous lips that both pushed her popularity and caused controversy. Now, they’ve become part of her iconic, always glamorously on-point looks. Getting them for yourself doesn’t mean spending on lip fillers though. Just prep lips first with the likes of the Happy Island Lip Balm, that keeps them moisturized all day. Next, dab and swipe on a nude lipstick that’s as close to your natural lip color as possible. Apply another that’s a shade or two lighter to just the center of your lips and blend the edges lightly with your fingers to add extra dimension. Since it catches light (making them look fuller!), apply a lip gloss like the Glossier Lip Gloss that instantly gives give lips a cushiony, crystal clear shine.
TAYLOR SWIFT
With a slew of Grammy awards in her own collection, Taylor has been a pop culture icon for over a decade. Recently, she’s been in the news for he intimate Netflix documentary, “Miss Americana,” and for fighting for the rights to her own music from her former label, earning her massive support from fans and other big artists. Taylor may be known for hits like “Love Story” and “Shake It Off,” but also her classic cat eye and red lip combo—both on and off the camera. It’s a timeless look, so we can’t blame her. Go for a Taylor-approved liner look by lining the upper eye lid with the Maybelline Hyper Impact Liner. Thicken the line as you go outwards and extend it into a simple wing. Then define eyes further with two coats of the Kiss Me Heroine Long & Curl Mascara Advanced Film. Finish with a sizzling red on the lips using the About Face Cosmetics Lip Lockers in “Go Up In Flames”.
LADY GAGA
Few people are as iconic as Lady Gaga, and no one does over-the-top looks like she does. A staunch ally of the LGBTQ+ community, Billboard chart topper, and Oscar winner for Best Song of The Year 2019, her looks always reflect her unique, artistic lifestyle. Create a Gaga-licious look, that you can still wear to any party, by first using the Paprika Matte and Shimmer Eyeshadow Palette. With a shadow brush, apply the shimmery, red shade all over lids then push the color up all the way to just underneath the brow bone. Make sure the color extends to the inner and outer corner of the eyes, then blend away with a fluffier, shadow brush to soften all edges. Lightly dab eye-safe glitter onto the center of your lids for extra sparkle. Choosing a shade darker than you normally work with, fill in and shape brows with the Detail Makeover Make It Pro Starter Pen for bolder arches. Match eyes to the lips with a regal red like the Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink City Edition Liquid Lipstick in “Dancer”.
