Well, well, well! It seems Rihanna’s Sunglasses Had Falsies On Them at the Met Gala, but wait until you hear about the frosty makeup underneath!
Gather ’round, kiddos! The queen of the Navy and the mama of the Fenty babies, Rihanna, arrived fashionably late (but who’s counting?) to the 2023 Met Gala red carpet. Rih Rih is never one to stick to the schedule, but darlings, she knows how to make a grand entrance.
Our girl strutted onto the red carpet in a whopping wedding dress with a cape made of 500 petals – now, that’s a bouquet you can’t catch! But wait, there’s more! She added a cherry on top with a pair of white sunglasses, sporting falsies of their own.
And just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, she whipped off those shades to reveal an icy, ethereal eye makeup look! As the Fenty Beauty boss lady, Rihanna was destined to serve us a full-course glam meal, cooked up by none other than her Fenty Beauty Global Makeup Artist, Priscilla Ono. Their choice for the Met Gala? Something frosty, fun, and guaranteed to make heads turn.
Now, let’s talk about those luscious lips! Ono used Fenty Beauty Stunna Lip Paint Longwear Fluid Lip Color in Uncensored for that Rihanna red we all know and love. But the pièce de résistance was the eyes – shimmering, pearlescent lids that made us believe a disco ball had gently exploded on her face. Ono employed Fenty Beauty Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter in Lightning Dust and Fire Crystal for that sparkle, and the base color from Fenty Beauty Snap Shadows Mix & Match Eye Shadow Palette in True Neutrals, using the shade Velvet Cuffs for added oomph!
But wait, there’s more! To achieve a soft-matte, chiseled complexion, they used Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation in 335, and set it with Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Powder Foundation in 300. For a touch of warmth, they reached for Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk’r Instant Warmth Bronzer in Bajan Gyal. And to lock it all in, Ono applied Fenty Beauty Invisimatte Instant Setting + Blotting Powder – the same one that got all the attention at her iconic Super Bowl performance.
So, folks, we now know why everyone and their pet poodle eagerly awaited Rihanna’s Met Gala entrance. With her frosted eyeshadow and iconic red lips, she celebrated her style and beauty while honoring Karl Lagerfeld’s classic yet modern designs. It was a Met Gala moment for the history books!
Get ready for a TikTok beauty revolution, as Rih Rih’s ethereal bride look takes the platform by storm. Now that you’ve got the full breakdown, go forth and create, my glam-lovin’ friends! Can’t wait to see your Rihanna-inspired masterpieces!
