Rihanna looked beautiful, but I am so sad to see her back with her abuser.

In a sense, they are forced into piling on the liner and lashes.<br /><br />Just think about how blah the beautiful Tilda Swinton looks at these kinds of events. In one of the best photos of her I've ever seen, she had on heavy liner.

Apparently, she lives in a bubble where fashion and looks are never evaluated. She doesn't watch the television style pieces. She doesnt read magazines.
