Rihanna shared her beauty secrets with Vogue when she created her signature going out makeup look. The routine is simple and quick, so you won’t spend hours in front of the mirror.
In this tutorial, we’ll walk through every step and the key products that Rihanna, the celebrity behind Fenty Beauty, used to achieve her polished look. We cover everything from foundation application to adding final highlights. Let’s get started.
A glamorous makeup by Rihanna
This routine is designed for ease of use, employing straightforward steps and must-have products to create an unforgettable effect. The process begins with perfecting a smooth base and culminates in a radiant body finish. Let’s see it step by step.
Flawless base
Begin with a high-quality foundation to establish an even canvas. For example, Rihanna relies on the Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation to achieve a consistent finish across her skin. She applies it and blends it meticulously with a sponge to ensure a natural finish.
Sculpt and define
Rihanna proceeds to contour with the Fenty Beauty Match Stix Matte Contour Skinstick to shape her face. She applies a small amount under the cheekbones and on the forehead, nose, and chin, and refines the edges with a brush. This technique creates natural shadows and softens any harsh transitions between your forehead and hairline, a technique frequently recommended by professional makeup artists.
Conceal and set
Following sculpting, she adds a swipe of concealer under the eyes to cover dark circles and on the nose to highlight. You can warm the product in your hand first to improve blending and duration. Rihanna uses a small sponge for application and small and gentle touches. With a brush, she then dusts a compact powder over the face to ensure a fresh look throughout the evening and prevent greasy areas. Then, in the same areas she put the contour, she adds a touch of bronzer.
Focus on the eyes
She starts applying a small amount of bronzer along her crease to create dimension. On the lids, she goes with a pink eyeshadow, reminiscent of a summer sunset, and with a more precise brush, she defines her eyes with a brown eyeshadow in the lower lash line. She then adds a touch of shimmer in the inner corners and applies mascara.
Blush and highlighter
To accentuate the summer vibe, she applies a mix of pink and orange blush on her cheeks. Then she lifts her entire look with a highlighter on the high points of the face: along the bridge of her nose, on the tops of her cheekbones, and the brows.
Lips and body glow
She follows with a fresh pink hue on the lips with a hint of gold that helps bring the look together. It’s a glossy formula that she applies directly to the lips. To complete her routine, Rihanna adds a radiant body glow. She uses the Fenty Beauty Body Lava Body Luminizer on her shoulders and collarbone, which unifies the entire makeup look with a soft, shimmering finish.
