Rihanna understands how to wear a red lip (and basically all other makeup, but that’s beside the point) if there’s one thing I know to be true in this world. Fenty Beauty, on the other hand, was a lovely collection full of highlighters and inclusive foundation hues when it debuted in September, but it was noticeably lacking in dramatic lip colors. There are few things Rihanna can’t do, as she’s demonstrated time and time again. What’s the most recent accomplishment worth noting? At the same time, I’m wearing red lipstick and blue eyeshadow.
Rihanna has decided to reward beauty lovers everywhere by bestowing upon them the ideal red lip color just in time for the holiday season. Finally, she applies Fenty Beauty’s renowned Stunna Lip Paint in Uncensored on her lips. She says it’s for a purpose that she starts painting her lips in the middle and works her way out. “Whether it’s lip gloss, lipstick, or lip paint — there’s a precise height to the top of the lip — I usually start my lipstick right here in the middle. You always want to be even, because if it’s not, you’ll end up going over your lipstick over and over, so you always want to point this out.”
“It’s similar to brows,” she explains, adding that Fenty Beauty’s lip paint is her absolute favorite out of all the ones she’s tried. The red shade was very certainly created to suit a wide range of skin tones if it follows in Fenty Beauty’s known MO. It’s slightly richer than a cherry, with a blue base. It’s bright, festive, and sassy as hell. Our mouths are open and ready to speak.
