Lady Gaga

The first step towards recreating Lady Gaga’s unique style is to start with a blank canvas. Toning and moisturising you skin will help to develop a healthy glow on which you can apply layers of make-up. Lady Gaga often sports a smoky eye shadow, complemented with false eyelashes, to create her striking appearance. To do this yourself, you will need to buy a number of different shades to create the layers, including black, dark grey and white. To complement her dramatic eyes, Lady Gaga herself often opts for a simple, but bold colour for her lips. Lips are one area you should never forget about, as they are often the key to a person’s overall appearance. If you don’t have blonde hair, you could pick up a suitable wig from anywhere that stocks pop star fancy dress costumes to complete the look. When it comes to clothes, if Lady Gaga is anything to go by, the more outrageous the better.

Rihanna

Rihanna uses an eclectic range of colours when it comes to make-up. Her eye shadows and lipsticks would not suit everyone, but she has taught us that we are too conservative when it comes to our own colour palettes. While many stick to single blocks of colour for eye shadow, Rihanna herself uses combinations. You could try out combinations that work together, but bear your natural complexion in mind, as this will be the key to finding what suits you. Rihanna herself often uses combinations such as lemon yellow and orange, and grey and pale blue, to achieve her look.

As for hair, you have to really let yourself go. There is no shortcut, except for a short cut. Currently Rihanna has adopted a red updo. For the particular vibrant colour she wears, you will need to ask for your hairdresser’s advice. The updo itself can be achieved with a few bobby pins and a small can of hair spray.
