Great Beauty: Would You Rock These Trends?

Great Beauty: Would You Rock These Trends?
By · June 24, 2011October 28, 2020
01
Trend #1: Graphic Black Eyes

At the Costume Institute Gala, Solange went hard in super-dramatic, graphic black eyeshadow. We love the intensity, but do you think it’s too much?

02
Trend #2: Mismatched Mani

At the Maxim Hot 100 Party, Kelly Rowland sported mismatched, bronze-and-yellow nail polish hues. A unique, fresh take on the summer manicure!

03
Trend #3: Blue Mascara

Shingai Shoniwa turned heads at a pre-Wimbledon Party sporting peacock blue mascara and dots of teal eyeshadow. Where would you rock this colorful look?

04
Trend #4: Cotton Candy Pink Lips

At a party in Las Vegas, Ciara went for the bold in sugary-sweet, cotton candy pink lips (that matched her lollipop perfectly). What do you think…cute, or cloying?

05
Trend #5: The ’80s Brow

Kat Graham rocked full, thick, expertly penciled-in brows at the Us Weekly Hot Hollywood party. Are you living for it, or should she have left this trend in the Eighties?

06
Trend #6: Rocker Eye Liner

At the Givenchy Fall 2011 show, Nicole Richie rocked out in thick, black, kohl-rimmed eyes. We think this rocker chick look is uber-cool, as long as the rest of your look is pared-down.

07
Trend #7: Matching Lips and Nails

At the ‘Jumping The Broom’ premiere, Eva Marcille sported matchy-matchy, electric coral lips and nails. Too chic, or too much?

08
Trend #8: White Eyeshadow

Letoya Luckett wore gleaming white eyeshadow at the ESSENCE Black Women in music reception. We think the pale hue makes her eyes look positively luminous! Thoughts?

09
Trend #9: Horn-Rimmed Glasses

Amber Rose created a whole new genre — the hot nerd — when she rocked Buddy Holly-style glasses at the Maxim’s Hot 100 Party. Love!

10
Trend #10: Fuschia Eyeshadow

Kelis wore hot pink eyeshadow at the Matthew Williamson Impulse for Macy’s launch. Most makeup artist advise against wearing pink on eyes (you can look feverish), but we likey!
