Megan Thee Stallion's rhinestone cat eye is all the silly season inspo we need
The 4-time Grammy nominated rapper was giving us life
In case you missed it, the 2020 American Music Awards were on Monday and year-round hottie Megan Thee Stallion was not only performing but also hosting the whole damn thing.
As always, Thee Stallion provided us with a memorable performance, thrashing out a choreo-heavy rendition of her recent chart-topping single “Body”, and later snagged the award for favorite rap/hip hop song alongside Cardi B for their smash-hit “WAP”.:
And whilst we are die hard Stallion stans, we were mesmerised more so throughout the programming by Priscilla Ono’s handiwork. The celeb makeup artist had created a stunning rhinestone cat-eye for the rapper that gave off just the right amount of Dolly Parton vibes:
Though the look may seem like a tough one to replicate at home, stick-on rhinestones provide a surprisingly easy fix, making the look a great one to impress party goers during the silly season. Simply create a cut crease using a neutral or nude-toned eyeshadow (shimmer if you’re feeling fancy), then add a cat-eye using your favourite eyeliner, dragging out the wing for a more dramatic look if you’re so inclined. Next comes the fun part, adhere the rhinestones (like these glow-in-the-dark jewels or star-shaped gems) to your lid or extend them further up to the brow bone and onto the temples.

Since then, her keen interest in fashion and beauty has landed her gigs as a Digital Content Producer and Beauty Editor with titles like Girlfriend, Refinery29, BEAUTYcrew and beautyheaven. She loves the way seemingly innocuous topics like skin care and style have the ability to put a smile on people’s faces or make them think about themselves a little differently. A big believer in self love and experimentation, Briar has made a point of becoming the Australian beauty industry’s unofficial guinea pig for unusual treatments and daring hair trends. When she’s not testing out the latest beauty launches, Briar is big on broadening her horizons, mostly in the form of food but she’s also partial to travelling to new destinations both near and far (and of course, allocating an extra bag to bring their best beauty offerings home with her).
