Get the Look: Rihanna



Rihanna has been in the spotlight a lot recently. And it's no surprise girls have been trying to achieve her rockstar-glam style. But you don't need to spend your life savings just to look like a celebrity. Here are affordable alternatives to getting Rihanna's look.


            
For this party-chic look, you will need to determine your body shape. Are you curvy? Pear-shaped? Have an hourglass figure? Do you love to flaunt your legs or are you not so confident?

Louboutin heels and Kate Halfpenny necklaces






Whatever you feel about yourself, don't be afraid to substitute some of the items below for something less revealing. Hey, Rihanna is known for showing her skin!













#1: Find the outfit. For this look, you will need a grey bustier, red skirt, nude heels, gold necklace and polka-dot hair bow. These can be hard to find so here are some I discovered:






#2. Style your hair. In this picture, RiRi has gone for an elegant updo which is perfect for formal events. It may take up to 30 minutes to achieve this style. If you're in a hurry, take less time with the routine but don't be careless. This style works best for oval, square, oblong or diamond face shapes and you should have medium/thick hair density.

Routine:
Step 1) Hot roll your hair for as long as it takes until all of it is done.
Step 2) Tease your hair into an updo. You might want someone to help you with this step.
Step 3) Pin your bangs to the side of your head. You may also pin the hair on the back of your head.
Step 4) Spray everything in place with a strong-hold hairspray.
TARA'S TIP: Fluff your bangs gently with your fingers. This will create a soft, wavy impact.

#3. Apply the makeup. In this picture, Rihanna's eyes stand out. For this, I would recommend brushing on MAC Steamy eyeshadow before applying Maybelline Volume Express One by One mascara. This will give you beautiful, bold lashes without being too heavy. Add a nude lipstick like Rimmel Moisture Renew in Rose Sorbet (it's long-lasting and gives a subtle glossy finish) and finish with an even layer of Estee Lauder's Bronze Goddess soft matte bronzer for a shimmery shine.
