Rihanna’s “Rude Boy” video is not only one of the most artistically fly videos to come out in months; it’s also spawned a whole pop-art-meets-‘80s-dayglo-meets-dancehall-queen beauty movement. Suffice it to say, we’re obsessed (long live neon!). Here, we compiled a gallery of our favorite Rude Boy-esque celeb looks and the makeup products inspired by the look. Blushing violets need not apply…
Pop Beauty Lid Neon ($22) comes with the brightest, boldest eyeshadow shades this side of Kingston. The banana yellow is particularly fabulous…
China Glaze Polish in Neon Purple Panic ($5), an in-your-face-bold ultraviolet shade, will look insanely chic on toes this summer.
Urban Decay Big Fatty Mascara ($20) amps lashes up to three times their size…but we just love the swirly, fluorescent packaging.
Tarte Cheek Stain ($30) looks dayglo fluorescent pink in the packaging, but it actually gives brown skin the sheerest, prettiest natural flush.
MAC Tinted Lipglass in Kumquat ($14) is the perfect pop art orange shade! Yes, we know it looks Crayola-bright in the tube, but the warm, sunny undertone makes the shade super-flattering on brown skin.
Stila “Barbie Loves Stila” Smudge Pot in Cobalt Crush ($20) is a shockingly vivid blue creme liner that, when traced along the top lashline, is a perfect pop-arty accent.
Tweezerman Hot for Dots Mini Slant Tweezers ($15) makes plucking your eyebrows—the world’s most mundane task—feel cheeky, trendy and fun.
Available in May, Chanel’s “Les Pop-Up” Summer 2010 collection is a limited edition range of electric, poppy brights, including (from left to right): Brilliant Lip Shine Gloss in Laser and Pop ($27, each); and Luminous Satin Lipcolor in Genial and Super ($32, each).
