Rihanna’s Cool Teal Eyes Are the Hottest Summer Makeup You’ll Want to Copy
Rihanna is one of our favorite beauty chameleons. The Barbadian singer can effortlessly pull off everything, from faux dreadlocks to rose-taupe lipstick. Did you see her impeccable over-the-top blush and damask-patterned gold foil nails at this year's Met Gala? Point made.
Riri can not only work (and slay) any makeup look, she's a trendsetter with everything she does. The latest beauty trend seen on our favorite celebs is teal-green eyeshadow, and Rihanna was one of the first to rock it right.
At her Fenty Puma by Rihanna Experience event in Los Angeles, Rihanna perfectly matched her teal eye makeup to her outfit, and we couldn't get enough of it. Of course, we wanted to learn how to get our eyeshadow to look as cool as Rihanna's, so we asked celebrity makeup artist Neil Scibelli for his tips and tricks on how to subtly wear this color.
