We recently spotted Ri-Ri at an exclusive afterparty for her LA Show hosted at Drai’s Hollywood. And, although her polka dot D&G jumper and fire engine red strands stole the show, she kept her face simple and pretty with just a pop of blue.

To get gorgeous aqua lids like Rihanna’s at any price point, try out the following products:

(HIGH)

Nars Duo Cream Eyeshadow in Burn it Blue ($32), NARS

Shiseido Hydro-Power Eyeshadow in Aqua Shimmer ($25), Sephora

***

(MEDIUM)

Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Flipside ($17), Urban Decay

Lime Crime Cosmetics Magic Dust in Mermaid ($12), Lime Crime Makeup

***

(LOW)

Loreal HIP Studio Secrets Eyeshadow Duo in Showy ($6.39), Drugstore

Jesse’s Girl Cosmetics Pure Pigment Eye Dust in Troublemaker ($3.99), Jesse’s Girl Cosmetics

*** Expert Tip: Line the upper lid and waterline with a deep black pencil. And, for extra flirty lashes, complete the look with celeb lash guru Jamaal Buster’s “2nd Date Guaranteed” lash – which Rihanna wore this evening. The icing on the cake!
