Rihanna's Bold Red Lip Stole the Champagne Carpet—Here's How to Re-Create It
The 95th annual Academy Awards were last night, and now that I've had some time to digest all of the incredible beauty looks, one stands out as a clear winner for me: Rihanna's classic glam. The singer was nominated for her song "Lift Me Up" from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and she showed up to the red—ahem, champagne—carpet with some of the best Oscars makeup we saw all night.
"We wanted to create a monochromatic makeup look with a maple-red lip and highlight, punctuated by strong black eyeliner to echo the structure of Rihanna's gown," Fenty Beauty global makeup artist Priscilla Ono shared in a press release. Rihanna's dusty-red lip stood out as a fresh twist on a classic.
