Where:

Why:

06
#10: Solange

Where: A Hennessy event at the Highline in New York City.

Why: Solange’s barely-there makeup gives off a subtle yet party-worthy glow. Create a flawless finish like Solange’s with Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra 24H Foundations.

07
#9: LaLa Anthony

Where: Logo’s “NewNowNext Awards” 2012 at Avalon in Hollywood.

Why: Anthony remixed the typical smoky eye by using a light gray eyeshadow rather than black. We love L’Oréal Paris Infallible Eyeshadow in Sultry Smoke.

08
#8: NeNe Leakes

Where: The Bravo Upfront Event 2012 in New York.

Why: Leakes’ always rocks a sharp eyebrow and we’re in love with her bright rosy blush and glossy, peach lip. The sexiest smoky eye can be created with Make Up For Ever’s Black Cream Eye Shadow.

09
#7: Christina Milian

Where: The NYLON Magazine 13th Anniversary Celebration held at Smashbox in West Hollywood, California.

Why: Milian opted for a fresh and feminine look with megawatt eyelashes and clean, dewy skin. We love Maybelline’s Expert Lash False Eyelashes for times that call for a mass lash boost.

10
#6: Keri Hilson

Where: Highline Studios in New York City.

Why: Hilson doubled up on the glam with black eyeliner and long lashes paired with a vivid, glossy pink lip. Swipe on a few coats of Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick in Fuchsia for a hot pink lip of your own.

11
#5: Selita Ebanks

Where: The 9th annual Spring Dinner Dance New Year’s In April: A Fool’s Fête at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in New York City.


Why: Ebanks’ flaunted a dramatic look complete with matte purple lipstick and a silver and gray smoky eye. Go for a rich wine lip with MAC Lipstick in Desire.

12
#4: Jessica White

Where: The Rica Swimwear launch VIP cocktail reception at Villa Pacri in New York City.

Why: White wore a dark red lip to contrast her bright red dress which is totally the “it” look of the year. Try Mirabella’s Lip Colour in Ruthless to get your red hot lip like White’s.

13
#3: Ashanti

Where: Fuse Studios in New York City.

Why: Ashanti sported a winged smoky eye that was every bit of spectacular. For this look, try Benefit Cosmetics’ Magic Ink Liquid Eyeliner in black.

14
#2: Rihanna

Where: The Battleship Australian premiere at Luna Park in Sydney.

Why: Rihanna is the queen of a sultry red lip and it works for her time and time again. Get Ri-Ri’s red lip by rocking Lipstick Queen’s matte lipstick in Red Sinner.

15
#1: Monica

Where: An album signing for New Life.

Why: Monica nailed this entire look. From the creamy fuchsia lip to the bold, luscious lashes, it’s a perfect 10. Try a pretty, pink pout with NYX Lipstick in the shade Louisiana.
