All of the times Rihanna has worn Fenty Beauty on the low-low

Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty has been a game-changer not only for makeup lovers, but the cosmetics industry as a whole — the Fenty effect is real and it’s incredible to watch. Fenty Beauty is already outselling major brands like Kylie Cosmetics, and that has to do with the fact that the company came out of the gate with a diverse shade range featuring 40 foundation shades. We all know by now that representation matters, and Rihanna knows this firsthand.

While beauty fans eagerly waited for the brand to make its debut, every RiRi sighting turned into a guessing game regarding which Fenty products Rihanna might be wearing. She had been wearing Fenty Beauty covertly for over a year, even before it was launched. Little did we know how much the singer had in store for us. Here we thought we could expect a few highlighters and lipsticks, but Rihanna went and turned the world upside down. There’s never been a beauty brand quite like Fenty Beauty, and that’s because of Rihanna and her influence.

Let’s take a walk down memory lane and review all the times Rihanna has worn Fenty Beauty.

It was April 2016 and Rihanna was already teasing her Killawatt highlighter.

Rihanna’s extreme blush came courtesy of Fenty months before it launched. She low-key used the Killawatt Foil in Mimosa Sunrise/Sangria Sunset, which we wouldn’t get in our own hands until May 2018.

One of the first official glimpses of Fenty Beauty was at this swanky British party, and makeup lovers everywhere took notice.

Rihanna hit the town with her girlfriends for a dinner in Brooklyn, and while many (including us) were taken by her gorgeous pink Rosie Assoulin jumpsuit, it’s the first time we got a look at her iconic red lipstick. But at the time, all she admitted to wearing was the Fenty foundation.

27Met Gala 2018

A post shared by badgalriri (@badgalriri) on May 7, 2018 at 9:17pm PDT

Rihanna’s glam Pope ensemble stole the show, so her makeup was understandably subdued to balance out the drama. She wore Pro Filt’r Primer; Pro Filt’r Foundation in 370; Match Stix in Truffle for her contour and a little secret something on her lips. And that was it!

28Savage x Fenty launch party

Rihanna turned up the heat wearing the Pro Filt’r Primer; Pro Filt’r Foundation in 370; Pro Filt’r 360 and Match Stix in Peach for conealer; Match Stix in Truffle for contour; Match Stix in Chili Mango and Rum for blush; Match Stix in Rum for highlight; Invisimatte Blotting Powder in the T-zone; Match Stix in Mocha and Espresso on the eyes; Mattemoiselle Ma’Damn with a touch of Fenty Gloss Bomb on the lip; Fenty Body Lava Luminizer in Brown Sugar and Fairy Bomb Glittering Pom Pom.

29Ocean’s 8 premiere

Rihanna brought the drama at the film’s premiere. She wore: Pro Filt’r Primer; Pro Filt’r Foundation in 340; Match Stix in Peach concealer; Match Stix in Mocha contour; Killawatt highlighter in Moscow Mule and Ginger Binge — and her Invisimatte Blotting Powder. However, we’re still waiting on the juicy details of her eyeshadow and lipstick. We really hope that means a new Fenty launch is coming.

29Rihanna at the Stance For Clara Lionel Foundation

Rihanna stepped out wearing all Fenty Beauty makeup, but all eyes were on her hot pink lipstick in Candy Venom.

30The London Premiere for Ocean’s 8

Riri was straight-up looking like a golden snack across the pond. Her makeup artist Priscilla Ono used a ton of Fenty, including Match Stix in Mocha for contour, plus Fenty Highlighter in Moscow Mule/Ginger Binge as blush and Mean Money/Hu$tla Baby for highlight. For that crimson pout, she used Fenty Lipstick in Ma’Damn.

31Front row at Louis Vuitton Menswear show in Paris

Rihanna’s wearing her usual Fenty go-tos (Pro Filter, Matchstix, and Killawatt), but that mysterious white eyeliner — assuming it’s of the House of Fenty — has yet to be announced. We’re keeping our eye on you, Ri.
