Tamia

Where: The SiriusXM Studios in New York City.

Why:  We can’t get enough of Tamia’s sassy purple eyeliner! It’s subtle enough that it’s not overpowering but definitely adds the perfect pop of color.

Selita Ebanks

Where: The 2012 UNICEF Snowflake Ball at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City.

Rihanna

Where: The launch of her new album ‘Unapologetic’ at Best Buy Theater in New York City.

Kenya Moore

Where: A taping of Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live in New York City.
