Considering the immense success of Fenty Beauty, Rihanna is owning the makeup game in a major way.
We’ve grown to know and love this multifaceted songstress’s unapologetic spirit over the years that has translated into her approach to makeup: badass.
She’s never been afraid to step on the red carpet in a daring lip color and a mean winged eyeliner—and she kills it every time.
Narrowing down the best Rihanna makeup moments was not easy, but we did it. Take a look at her most iconic looks.
You’re probably immediately drawn to her lashes. Same—they’re the epitome of Hollywood glamour. This smoky charcoal shadow looks stunning with her soft nude lip.
Name a more iconic berry lip—I’ll wait. This deep, sultry plum shade looks absolutely killer on RiRi. Not to mention its the exact color of her dress. We’d ask for a lip ID if we could, but we’re assuming this is an amazing blend of a few different deep purple shades.
This might be a fangirl thing to say, but I want to frame, like, all of these. The makeup inspo Rihanna serves up on the regular is unreal. You’ve probably never seen an orange lip look chicer.
Guess what? You can wear this playful pink lip, too. It’s one of Rihanna’s shimmery lip shades from her Fenty Beauty Galaxy collection, and it looks damn good.
It’s fair to say that Rihanna loves making her lipstick the focal point of her glam. And this is another glaring example of how gorgeous every shade in the book looks on her. Ruby red is clearly no exception. Instead of matte, she went with a glossy texture this time (look at how this glistens on camera!).
Everything about this glam just works. The way this toned-down red picks up the color of her gown and earrings is perfect. With a good lip moment like this, take Rihanna’s approach and pair it with a soft neutral eye.
