However that is what makes it so particular! It stands out and all the time feels recent and thrilling, which is why it is no shock that Rihanna was drawn to it for her newest pink carpet look. The Fenty Magnificence founder took purple to its fullest potential for a Fenty x Puma occasion on December 18, carrying the hue not simply on her lids however all the way in which as much as her forehead bone — and in true Rihanna vogue, she did it prefer it was NBD.

Make-up artist Priscilla Ono matched the shadow to Rihanna’s furry purple jacket, brushing an iridescent mild purple over her eyelids and upwards to only brush her brows, with a deeper purple concentrated on the outer corners. (We’re fairly positive the purple in query is from the Fenty Magnificence Snap Shadows Combine & Match Eyeshadow Palette in Cool Neutrals, which incorporates a strikingly related amethyst shade.) Ono additionally added a contact of frosty pale purple to Rihanna’s internal corners, then outlined the star’s eyes with black liner on her higher and decrease lashlines. Loads of mascara and a spiky lash, adopted by a peachy gloss, and Rihanna was prepared for the pink carpet.
