Nicki Minaj VMAs 2011 Copycat Tutorial

It’s pretty rare for me to see a look on a celebrity and NEED to recreate it ASAP, since so many celebrity looks are cookie-cutter smokey eyes or natural colors. When I saw Nicki Minaj’s makeup for the 2011 VMAs last night, I knew that I HAD to recreate it for a tutorial!

Ashley

Totally going to recreate this look as well! It looks like it can look fantastic on anyone! Just gotta rock it :) You look beautiful Leesha!
Anna

I love this! I know you did the look to match her eye makeup, but I think it would look even more awesome it you took eye shadows the color of her wig and wear them as eyeliner under the eye. :) Awesome as usual though!
Ariana

Wow this is great! i think im gonna try this out for the weekend! Just a question is that Inglot palette an IMATS only thing? I’ve been wanting it for soo long but its not on their website as far as i can see (already filled i mean i know theres and empty one available) Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I can’t find the nude eyeliner for the water line. I checked Mac’s site but found nothing… anyone know?

I like the buttermint green eyes, but my favorite part of this look is the cheeks. They look SOOOO spectacular here. :) I look forward to your new tutorials every time they come out and really hope you’ll find a way to do one using mostly ELF products soon. They’re so GOOD for being such an affordable price. And some of the fyrinnae (sp?) eyeshadows you got as well. Those things are so gorgeous I’m seriously considering ordering about 10 different colors.
