I’m going to pretend she’s wearing something way better, but she looks pretty otherwise (well, the blush could use some buffing!), and I do love her hair styled like that!

I kind of dug the dress, at least the color, but I am a sucker for golds.  Wonder what glitter product they used on her eyes!

Ciara @ 52nd Grammy Awards

Love her look — it’s soft, natural, and classy (not that the dress fits any of those descriptors!).

Makeup How-to & Breakdown

Yolanda Frederick, makeup artist, gives us the lowdown…

For Ciara’s Grammy red carpet look, I prepped the face with shu uemura’s new UV Under Base Fluid in Medium Beige. I then followed up with shu uemura’s Nobara Cream Cover Stick foundation in 524 for a flawless golden finish. In order to complement Ciara’s stunning Givenchy enseChristine mble, we decided to go with a flirty lash and lots of shu uemura’s Ultimate Mascara in Black to frame the eye. For cheeks, I used shu uemura’s Glow On blush in M Amber 89 and highlighted with Lancôme’s Model Mocha Cream Shimmer for more drama! For a perfect lip, I lined ever so lightly with shu uemura’s Drawing Lip Pencil in Brown 710 then topped it off with shu uemura’s creamy nude Rouge Unlimited lipstick in BG 940M. I then wanted to highlight the center of the lip with a shimmery gloss, so I applied shu uemura’s Gloss Unlimited in BG 980N for that extra pop!

Love the shoes, and I like the look from afar!  Her hair looks rather short for her, but maybe it’s just because of the waves.

Rihanna @ 2010 Grammys

Rihanna @ 2010 52nd Grammy Awards

Fun, silvery smoky eyes with some pretty huge false eyelashes!

Makeup How-to & Breakdown

Mylah Morales’s inspiration for Rihanna’s look: “She wore this amazing very high fashion dress so I took that runway look and brought it down to reality. I wanted the look to be all about the shimmering white eyes and long, spidery lashes. I bronzed her entire face, focusing on the forehead and cheeks for a glowy look.”

Cheeks: Dior Bronze Original Tan #03

Skin: Hydraction Hydra-Protective Eye Cream, Hydraction Deep Hydration Radical Serum, Giorgio Armani foundation

Eyes: Dior 1-Colour Eyeshadow in Crystal White #006 (“I applied this using a wet brush for more staying power.”), Cover Girl Lash Blast Length Mascara

Hair How-to

Ursula Stephen, Motions Celebrity Stylist, created Rihanna’s flawless hairstyle… for under $20! Ursula proves that you don’t have to spend a fortune to create flawless looks! Follow these simple steps to achieve Rihanna’s stunning style…

1. Create a good foundation by relaxing hair with Motions Silkening Shine Relaxer System
2. Apply Motions Foaming Wrap Lotion to the longer hair at the crown, mold hair upwards and towards the right side of the head. Sit under a hooded dryer to set the style
3. Apply Motions Original Oil Moisturizer Hair Lotion throughout hair
4. Use a flat iron on small sections of hair in an upward motion
5. Finish with Motions Shine Enhancing Pomade

Jennifer Hudson @ 2010 52nd Grammy Awards

I like the look better from afar than up close, but I am pretty distracted by her dress…

Makeup How-to & Breakdown

Tia Dantzler inspiration: “Definitely her bold, constructed black dress. We went for a
simple cat eye and a bold lip.”

Eyes: Dior 5-Colour Eyeshadow in Sunset Cafe, DiorShow Mascara, Dior Waterproof Crayon Eyeliner in Trinidad Black

Lips: Dior Ultra-Gloss Reflect #137

Expert tip from Tia, “I used the smudger on the end of the liner to soften the line under her eyes and create a smokey look.”

I love the vibrant blue of the dress… definitely one of my personal favorite shades of blue.  She looks better at the Grammys than she did at the last award show!
