Make-Up;
The females on R&B
magazines tend to have
large dramatic make-up
along with either big sexy
or smooth slicked back
seductive hair. The make
used on the women is
quite seductive especially
when they use dark
smokey coloured eye
make-up along with red
lipstick.
Exposed skin;
Many women in the R&B
industry have a minimum
amount of clothing. Their
legs, stomachs and top
area of their bodies are
usually exposed and this
allows the male audience
desire them, while the
female audience envy
them or idolise them.
Legs & Heels;
Majority of women in the
R&B industry wear heels
to allow their legs to look
longer especially due to
the fact they mostly wear
short clothes, they would
want their legs to look
longer and draw attention
to them. This point
however does not relate to
choreographed scenes as
the women are then
wearing trainers.
Jewellery;
Large, noticeable
jewellery are usually worn
on majority of females.
This is most probably used
to draw more attention to
them. In the R&B
industry, it is usually the
men that wear heavy
jewellery to signify their
status, but women on the
other hand wear it as
necessary accessory or
may also wear it to signify
their status.
