It’s no secret that beauty mogul Rihanna is prone to rocking a stunning beauty look or two. Some of her recent makeovers include (but are most certainly not limited to) a bubble gum pink bob and micro fringe, a half-up half-down curly moment, and my personal favourite, a double-winged silver eyeliner look. No, there’s nothing she can’t do.
With every look there are a swarm of fans desperate to know how to recreate the glam. I mean, it’s Rihanna...who wouldn’t want to replicate the gorgeous superstar’s stunning makeup looks?
And by the grace of the makeup Gods, all of our prayers have been answered (hallelujah!), as RiRi herself took to the Fenty Beauty Instagram page to share a tutorial on how to get "that instant filtered look".
The pop icon shares that to diffuse, blur, AND snatch her pores (what more could we want?) she uses her very own Fenty Beauty Invisimatte Blotting Powder £24, with the Powder Puff Setting Brush 170, £26.
"Let me show you the magic," the Fenty Beauty founder says as she lightly dusts the product under her eyes. Stunned by the before and after comparison, Rihanna says what we were all thinking: "Look at that. LOOK AT THAT". We're looking and we’re just as impressed as you are, Ri.
Now, in the past, the singer's makeup artist, Hector Espinal, actually shared with us the three Fenty Beauty products Rihanna takes everywhere. And spoiler alert, the Invisimatte Blotting Powder is one of them.
So, if this doesn't convince you that this product is a makeup bag essential, then I don't know what will. BRB I'm off to stock up while it's still available in stores.
