1. In 2007, there was almost no experimentation in the makeup department. You either showed up somewhere with an all-natural look like Jennifer Aniston...
2. ... or you wore a full-blown smoky eye with smudged kohl liner, which Lindsay Lohan never left the house without. There were no cut creases and no cat eyes.
3. There were no matte or liquid lipsticks, either. You rocked a glossy cream formula like Shakira's or you had nothing.
4. And the wildest thing you could do was pair that lipstick with a bold eye, like this rare pairing seen on Beyonce.
But the red carpet has seen much crazier looks than that since then.
5. Contouring was practically unheard of. Not even Kim Kardashian had picked up on it yet.
6. Instead, bronzer was THE must-have product, and you put it everywhere. This explains why Carrie Underwood looked so damn tan all the time.
7. No one had blush nailed down, either. Blending was a new concept altogether, especially to Lil Kim.
8. But the real star of 2007 wasn't the makeup. It was the hair — specifically, the bangs. Paris Hilton's were enviable.
9. You probably took a picture of Jennifer Lopez's side swoop to your hairdresser.
10. Then when you ended up regretting it, you pinned those bangs straight backward like Halle Berry did.
11. Practically no one kept their natural hair color. Even Jessica Simpson traded in her signature big, blonde locks for a deep caramel shade.
12. And those who weren't exploring the dark side were sporting Cameron Diaz's ~beachy highlights~ which you totally thought you could achieve with nothing but lemon juice and sunlight.
13. That is, unless you were Uber Cool like Rihanna, in which case you skipped all of the above and dyed two very bold, schematically placed streaks in your already very edgy haircut.
And you definitely did it at home with boxed bleach.
But even by 2007 standards, none of us could ever or will ever be as cool as Rihanna.
Really, this post is just proof that Rihanna has always been way ahead of us in terms of style and beauty cred.
