2011 Billboard Awards

I love music and like most of you watching the 2011 Billboard Awards was on my tv menu last night. Watching the clebs accept awards for their accomplishments was nice, but the makeup artist in me really only wanted to see who would show up and show out with the best makeup look. While majority of the makeup was the usual controlled smokey eye, I knew a selected few wouldn’t let me down.
Beyonce…
      
The one to watch! Miss Beyonce showed up wearing a beautiful mauve shimmer brown smokey eye. Same old smokey eye you say…. welp your wrong. Beyonce is holding down the newest trend in smokey eyes by wearing bottom smoke. Unlike Fergie, who’s rockin the normal smokey eye. Beyonce’s makeup artist took the smokey eye to the next level. By applying and blending out her eyeshadow underneath of the eye as well, Beyonce was instantly given a bolder look without a ton of eyeliner and mascara on the bottom rim of her eyes.
Rihanna…

While I wasn’t a fan of her red hair at first, it has grown on me and with this particular look it works. With hair that already says” look at me now” lol.  It was only natural that her makeup be on the opposite scale of things. This soft  glowing look was really on point. Rihannna’s lips color follows this season nude, neutral and pink look. I loved it!
Kelly Rowland…

Check out Ms. Rowland aka Your Motivation! She has turned her makeup game all the way around with this look. Kelly has never really strayed to far away from the smokey eye and the natural look. So when I saw miss lady rockin this look I knew I had to talk about it.  She looks so fresh and bright. Another one of my favorite makeup trend, inner crease color. Kelly wore a purple inner crease last night. Keeping up with this season’s pink lip look and carrying those blushed cheeks so well, she looks amazing.
Who were your faves?
