2010 Steve Granitz

Dior celebrity makeup artist Mylah Morales dusted Dior Bronze Original Tan #03 on Rihanna's skin and applied Dior's 1-Colour Eyeshadow in Crystal White #006. (We also saw white-rimmed eyes on Beyonce ... looks like we have a trend on our hands, whether we love it or not.) The trick to getting Rihanna's frosty lids? Mylah applied it using a wet brush for added precision and staying power. She says the inspiration for the daring white eyes came directly from the singer's over-the-top gown. On Rihanna's uberlong lashes: Cover Girl Lash Blast.

As for the swooping hair: Celebrity hairstylist Ursula Stephen used Motions products, starting with the Silkening Shine Relaxer System. Then she applied the Foaming Wrap Lotion to the crown and molded Rihanna's hair up and over to the right. The singer sat under a hooded dryer to let the style set, and then Ursula worked Motions Original Oil Moisturizer Hair Lotion through. To finish, she used a flat iron to get some small sections to jut upward more and applied some shine pomade.

Now that you have the in-depth scoop on Rihanna's Grammy Awards look, let's hear more about your thoughts on her hair and makeup. Do you love her stand-out look or think it's time for her to tone things down a bit?__
