The exact red lipstick Rihanna rocked at the 2023 Met Gala! You know, the one that had everyone’s jaws dropping! She’s always slaying, but this time Riri took it to a whole new level. And, as if that wasn’t enough, there were whispers about wedding bells! Can you even?!
So, our queen Rihanna showed up fashionably late to the Met Gala, of course, but her makeup was so on point that it was worth the wait. Her entire look was inspired by Karl Lagerfeld’s iconic designs, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. Everything, from those fab faux lashes on her sunglasses to that killer red lip, screamed RiRi.
Get this – Priscilla Ono, the mastermind behind Rihanna’s jaw-dropping makeup, spilled all the deets about the look. She said they went for an iconic Rihanna-red lip with a high-shimmer, pearlescent eye, giving us that classic-meets-modern vibe we all love. And you know what? It totally worked!
Now, for the juicy part: the lipstick! Rihanna’s been rocking Fenty Beauty’s Stunna Lip Paint in ‘Uncensored‘ for years, and she didn’t switch it up for the Met Gala. She’s tried other products, like the Icon Velvet Liquid Lipstick and Icon Semi-Matte Refillable Lipstick, but ‘Uncensored’ is still her go-to. Can you blame her? That red is everything!
Here’s a little insider secret: to prep RiRi’s lips for the big moment, Priscilla slathers Fenty Skin Plush Puddin’ Lip Mask on her lips right when they start glamming up. That way, her lips are super hydrated and the color just glides on like butter.
And don’t even get me started on her eye makeup! Under those eyelash-embellished sunnies, she had the most glamorous metallic eye using Fenty Beauty’s Hella Thicc Volumizing Mascara and a blend of their Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter and True Neutrals Snap Shadows Mix & Match Eyeshadow Palette. Pure perfection.
As for her stunning complexion, Priscilla used her signature double-blur technique with Fenty Beauty’s Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation and Powder Foundation, followed by contour, bronzer, and a touch of Invisimatte Blotting Powder. The result? A radiant, soon-to-be mom of two who absolutely owned the Met Gala steps.
