Everybody loves a celebrity, even if they hate them. Celebrity makeup fashion and lifestyle are key players in shaping the way trends go and also in creating new trends. Celebrities are a huge influence on pop culture and, as a result, society on a whole. There are numerous icons who have really made their mark in this regard and who can never be forgotten for the paths they paved with their trendsetting.

One of the top icons in Hollywood will always be Audrey Hepburn, who became truly recognized after her part in Breakfast At Tiffany's. Audrey Hepburn exemplified class and sophistication with her style and also made the little black dress a staple item of the woman's wardrobe, even to this day. Around the world every fashion season, we can see nods to this fashion and style icon and her classy style.

Marilyn Monroe is one of the greatest sex symbols of all time. She was known throughout Hollywood for her sex appeal and sass, and created a look for herself that is recognizable decades later. Pouty red lips and bold, dark eyelashes can always be attributed to her pinup girl style, but also the beauty spot, which many vixens today use in their makeup looks to emulate the siren.

Madonna paid homage to Marilyn Monroe in her early career by emulating her style. This can be seen in music videos for songs like Cherish, where she frolics at the beach sporting a bleach blonde look. Madonna, however, is an icon in her own right and rose to the heights of her fame after famously wearing a bra with cone-shaped cups, custom-designed by couturier Jean Paul Gaultier.

Throughout the years, Madonna has changed her look several times, reinventing herself every time. She has been a sex symbol, a rebel, a cowgirl and even embraced aspects of goth culture in the late 90s with her single Frozen. She has certainly been a pioneer in the entertainment industry on a number of levels.

Rihanna is currently one of the entertainment industry's biggest icons. She is an island girl who began at a 'girl next door' level with her exotic looks. However, over the past few years, she has made bold statements with major changes in her look and hairstyles to exhibit a range of personalities. Indeed, her ventures in hair and makeup have set some of the most popular trends around the world in recent times.

Rihanna is not only interesting to the public because of her look and changes to it. Her lifestyle is definitely of interest to the world at large, just like those influential women who came before her. She has had much scandal and success in both her professional and personal lives and the world has enjoyed observing her ups and downs.

Truth be told, everyone finds some sort of comfort or escape in viewing celebrity lifestyles. First of all, it gives us a look into the ways of the rich and famous and gives us the chance to emulate some of the glamour and opulence we see. We copy their style, we adopt their workout and eating habits, and we even try to make our homes look like theirs. Public interest in celebrities will always be around.
