Rihanna launched her River Island clothing line last night in London looking effortlessly sexy in a thigh-high split black dress that exposed her toned legs, paired with strappy Manolo Blahnik heels. The singer wore her hair swept to one side in true old Hollywood Glamour fashion and went for pretty, subtle eye makeup and burgundy statement lips. When rocking a LBD, your makeup should be subtle to reflect the simple sexiness of the dress and burgundy lipstick works to a tee. Rihanna has been seen rocking burgundy red lipstick a lot lately.
If you look closely at her eye, right under her eyebrow, you’ll notice a tiny amount of shimmer that brightens the eye. It was strategically placed right under the brow bone to make her arches look higher and livens up the entire eye. It’s a simple, yet affective technique that all women should copy the next time you rock a bold burgundy lip. This tiny amount of shimmer literally works wonders and jazzes up the look in a simple way. Finish your makeup with Skindinavia Makeup Finishes to get that dewy, youthful skin like Rihanna.

Rihanna’s burgundy lip color seems like it was made for her. It perfectly complements her dark her skin tone, and warms the face when the rest of the makeup is kept minimal. While the eye is drawn to the songstress’ burgundy lip, her eye makeup is also exquisite and balances the wine-stained lip.Burgundy is a versatile shade that can enhance a little black dress, or play up a casual white button down and jeans.
