Megan Fox

Megan Fox knows how to make even a fresh faced makeup look smoldering. If you watch makeup tutorials on YouTube, you will find a litany of people attempting to recreate her looks. Stylistically Fox rarely disappoints. She is yet another celebrity with a good team behind her always making her look stunning.

Steve Madden

TOPAZZ

Color: Red Suede

Retail Price: $99.95

I’ve been musing about these pumps on the Steve Madden website. As you know I am obsessed with the brand. No joke. My friends don’t even ask me where I get my shoes from anymore. They already know ha ha ha. But how hot are these pumps? These babies can take any outfit to the next level. Its been a rough year. We could all use a little fire, sparkle, and shine.

Check out those red TOPAZZ pictured above. I love a good ruffle. They add a little flirtiness to these sexy shoes. Perfection with skinny jeans or a little black dress just to name two.

Paulina Rubio

Paulina Rubio was shutting it down, like Rachel Zoe would say, on the Red Carpet of Los Premios MTV 2009. This look is perfection from the dress, accessories (check out her shoes in the picture below – sick!), to the hair and makeup. Congrats to Paulina for winning the award for Best Solo Artist.

Those are not your grandmother’s ankle boots. How cool are those heels?

Rihanna

I need to recreate this ripped jean-fishnet-ankle boots look now! Rihanna was spotted in New York City this week in this rocker outfit. She is wearing boyfriend jeans but I’m thinking about getting a pair of ripped skinny jeans in my version of the look.

These ankle boots I’ve been eyeing would work well with this ensemble. I can’t decide which pair I like more: (more…)

Solange

Solange looks fabulous in the photographs for an interview with Honey Magazine. Solange is as fearless with her makeup as she is with her style. Not afraid to try different things, she pulls off the black lipstick beautifully. Fresh off my MAC Style Black Collection haul I wanted to show you that even though I am not brave enough to go there, black lipstick can be worn well. 

Side note: those Cesare Paciotti boots are killer. Musing of the Day! 

Charles Wade did the fierce styling in these photos. And celebrity makeup artist Jackie Gomez did the makeup that is worth heading over to the article to check out the rest of her looks.

Rihanna is one of my makeup inspirations. Her makeup ranges from classic to edgy. Her makeup style usually matches the style of her outfits. It helps her achieve an overall look, which is the approach I take on every time I do my makeup for a special occasion.
