Rihanna’s double contouring hack will chisel the hell out of your cheekbones

Love or hate a celebrity brand, you’ve got to admit, Rihanna knows her sh*t when it comes to makeup.

Fenty Beauty made a big splash upon launch thanks to extensive shade range and skin tone savvy products, but it’s the performance, longevity and pigment pay-off people really rate, leading to the Sephora favourite overtaking Kylie Cosmetics in sales.

And as it turns out, it’s not just formulas RiRi can comfortably advise on; she’s also a contouring whiz.

To celebrate the launch of Fenty’s new cream blushes ($33, Sephora) and bronzers ($55, Sephora),  Rihanna took to Youtube to share her ‘Summer Fenty Face’ and low and behold, girl’s got some good hacks.

You can watch the video here, but to save time here’s the two major takeaways:

#1 Use two shades to contour

The first half of the video starts with Rihanna’s bronzing ritual, where she buffs a cream bronzer into the hollow of her cheeks, along her forehead and across the jawline using a brush.

“The shade I’m using right now is ‘Honey Glaze’ it’s really warm and fits with my complexion perfectly. It gives me dew, it’s natural and it’s summer time,” she says as she blends.

AND THEN. She doubles down with a second shade, for the cheeks only, pressing it in with her finger for sharpened definition.

“What I like to do is use this shade, ‘Amber’, and use it on the contour region as it creates a natural shadow.  It’s not lighter or darker, it’s just a shadow,” she explains.

The result? Chis-elled.

#2 Use your cream blush on your lips

Multi-tasking wizards will already be well aware of the versatility of a cream blush (cheeks, eyes, lips – yes please), but Rihanna makes a damn good case for lip layering too.

She starts with blush shade ‘Summertime Wine’ which is a deep berry, dabbing it into her pout with her fingers. She then takes Fenty Gloss Bomb ($31, Sephora) and layers over the colour “so you have a little pigment behind the iconic Fenty lip shine”. 

A bonus perk for sure when looking at cream vs powder makeup.

  1. I only contour when I have a lot of time or for special events. Really scared it’ll look muddy so I put aside time for blending. Riri’s trick is interesting. Might have to try it.

  2. I suggest that you read the T&C’s in particular

  3. I haven’t tried Fenty’s products because I have to order through Sephora. I order everything online and Sephora’s customer and delivery service has a very negative reputation.

  4. I want to say thanks to Ancient Dr Zuma Spell Temple for everything so far. To everyone who doesn’t believe in spell, I was one of those ones at first. I wasn’t quite sure if I wanted to do this since I’ve tried others so-called spells casters and they did not work and was a waste of my time and money. However, when I read through the testimonials of other people about his good work i decided to contacted him and after I talked Dr Zuma who answered all my questions and was very nice about everything, I decided to give it a try. I figured it would be my last try to get my guy back. So my story is that I was at my office when the guy I am in love with told me that he wasn’t in love with me and never will be and that he didn’t want to speak or see me again, especially since he was talking to this other girl. When I talked to Dr Zuma, he let me know which spells would be most appropriate for me and I chose the ones that was to get him back to me and stay with me and want to marry me. As soon as he started on the spells, my guy came back into my life! It was a miracle to me and I’m so thankful for that. Things have been going well, and pretty much according to what Dr Zuma said would happen. He’s always there when you need him and that’s also after the spell is done. I’m still waiting for the spells to completely manifest, but with all that has happened so far I’m very happy because i was already given up on myself before contacting Dr Zuma, if you asked me or my friends if I would have anticipated how things were right now…no one would believe it!
