Rihanna doesn´t only wear edgy hairstyle, she also wears trendy (and vibrant) makeup.
I´ve been so inspired when I saw her colorful makeup for spring. It´s a mix and blend of shades of yellow, brown, green, and of course, hot pink!
Did I say … red hair?
Because spring is about bright colors, I didn´t hesitate to emulate her oh-so-gorgeous spring makeup.
Btw, have you seen my previous Neon makeup tutorial? You know, neon is the color trend this season (think neon dresses, neon nail polish, and neon shoes). So if you haven´t tried neon makeup for spring yet, make sure to check it out.
And now to Rihanna´s …
I´ll make this makeup tutorial as clear and as easy as possible, so bear with me. Get your makeup kit, a cup of tea, take your comfy seat, and let´s start this step by step.
