For all of you who want to know, the song is Freaky Boys by Star Deluxe :) Promise Phan, Michelle's sister-in-law (I think) used it in her Rihanna transformation too :)

love this look! michelle you are really changing the world of make up, and inspiration, i´ve seen your videos since you started and i have followed your videos on youtube i love you, never change and keep glowing.

This look may have been inspired by Rihanna' s makeup looks, but you look exactly like a K-pop star (specifically, Lee Hyori with her "rough chick" makeup looks) and nothing like Rihanna.

[j.emariano]

I love her very old video's they were so iconic to me when i was a child💅💅💅

[Ren_NCTzen]

I adore Rihanna and Michelle Phan, so this is brilliant! And the look is gorgeous!

[SakuraXHaruno]

Michelle, you are literally my number one inspiration when it comes to makeup. I have always watched you since I was like 16 and you still amaze me to this day. I love doing my makeup and I have always wanted to do a Bad Girl makeup but didn't know what to do. But like you have always done, you've baffled me with another great video to help me out. Thank you, Michelle. You're awesome!
