rihanna is disturbed, but her lipstick looks fabulous
August 1, 2008 11:41 am
After making its exclusive, by-purchase-only debut on iTunes last week, the video for Rihanna’s latest infectious single, “Disturbia,” is now available for your (free) viewing pleasure on YouTube. Sexy and dance-worthy, as most offerings from Rih-Rih typically are, this video stands out in director Anthony Mandler’s body of work with the pop star for its, well, disturbing tenor. “She wanted to do something really dark,” makeup artist Mylah Morales reports, which apparently lent itself to an almost carnal ferocity (animal-head masks and an assortment of feathers and tusks abound, as does a set of black metallic talons, which, according to Morales, are Rihanna’s own nails and fingertips, airbrushed black). The hair and makeup looks vary
throughout the four-minute video, but the overwhelming image is a superimposed close-up of the CoverGirl spokeswoman’s lips in a highly pigmented shade of red, rivaling something out of a Robert Palmer video. “We
used MAC’s Ruby Rue lipstick,” Morales reveals, a small tip from the Barbados beauty’s makeup bag to you.
