One of Rihanna’s less edgy but definitely most beautiful hairstyle is a pixie. Way back in 2008 Rihanna’s pixie made quite a stir. It is a pixie with longer bangs that is very feminine but still has an edgy flair.

At the 2011 Academy of Country Music Awards, Rihanna again was the center of attention. She had a duet with Jennifer Nettles, and their rendition of “California King Bed “was awesome. Another thing that caught everybody’s attention was Rihanna’s pixie hair cut, in dazzling red – orange. The stunning hairstyle was a perfect frame for Rihanna’s perfect features. The unusual hair color fits Ri-Ri’s fabulous personality.

Rihanna’s Famous Pixie Haircut

At the NRJ Music Awards 2011 in France, Rihanna again surprised everybody with an almost “conservative” black pixie hairstyle. It’s a very fashionable pixie that showed Rihanna’s beautiful face to perfection. The hair was given razored layers all over. The hair at the back and sides were cut very short with long top layers that merge with long side-swept peek-a-boo bangs. The bangs gave the hairstyle a completely different angle and added some edge to the hairstyle.

This Rihanna pixie cut is a very stylish and a hairstyle that is easy to copy. It is perfect for women with a longish face and wide forehead because of the side-swept bangs that camouflage the high forehead. Since this hairstyle highlights the eyes and emphasize the face beautifully, you should ensure that you have clear perfect skin if you want to try it on.

This is the type of hairstyle that will suit women of all ages, almost all face shapes and hair textures. It is an easy-maintenance hairstyle that can be created with the help of a tiny amount of hair product. With a round brush, blow-dry your hair at the back and sides downward and the layers at the top towards the front. Run a flat iron on the bangs for a sleek finish. Photo Copyright of PR PHOTOS

This audacious Rihanna short hairstyle is perfect for those who like to be different since this is such an attention-grabber. This short haircut is clipper cut at the sides with clean edges. The layers on top are unevenly cut to fall in pointy pieces over the sides and swept over the face. The dazzling highlights add glamour to the hairstyle.

Layered short bob
Rihannna’s short bob has plenty of textured layers all over that give the hairstyle an irregular and uneven look. The fringe is given some lift and height by the jagged cut on the top layers and falls unevenly on the front while the sides are flatten for contrast.

Red undercut
Another funky hairstyle of Rihanna is the undercut hairstyle in bright fire engine red, a bold and daring hairstyle that is not for everyone. The hair at the nape and back are shaved, the top hair jaggedly cut and combed forward to merge with piecy long bangs swept to the side to almost cover one eye.

Rihanna’s pixie

Rihanna’s makeup styles, though they vary in intensity and shades depending on the occasions she attends and the outfits she wears, are without fail, sexy and smoldering. If you are one of the women who desire a Rihanna-like makeup, then follow the following tips:

Flawless complexion
Rihanna has an almost perfect and flawless skin. If you want to copy Rihanna’s makeup you have to start first in creating the same gorgeous skin. This is not difficult at all to achieve with the proper care and nurturing. A gorgeous complexion means a clean, supple and moisturized skin. A regular moisturizing regimen using even inexpensive over the counter moisturizing product such as Nivea applied as a nighttime cream will do wonders for your skin.

Foundation
The next step in a Rihanna- type makeup is to give the skin a perfect coverage with the use of a lightweight liquid foundation with a shade as close to your skin tone as possible. This will provide a sheer and natural finish that will make your skin glow like Rihanna’s. The best way to apply a liquid foundation is with a brush. Pat a small blob of foundation on the cheeks, nose and forehead and spread and blend it generously all over. Once the foundation is perfectly diffused over the skin, apply loose or pressed powder to the chin, nose and forehead. Powder should not be applied on the cheeks and brow bone to keep it looking fresh and dewy, very Rihanna-like.

Color
A Rihanna- like makeup is almost always colorful but also always on the same color palette. For a softer look, she uses neutral blush and shadows in earthy colors. For her more dramatic and eye-catching makeup, Rihanna uses dark colored eye shadows matched with bright colored lipstick. Photo Copyright of PR PHOTOS
