How To Get Rihanna’s Beach Curls & Magic Hour Makeup

For the launch of Fenty Beauty & Fenty Skin in Barbados

To celebrate the launch of Fenty Beauty & Fenty Skin in the Caribbean, Rihanna donned juicy beach curls and luminous makeup in Barbados. The event, which celebrated her makeup, skin care and fragrance brands’ entry into 9 Caribbean islands – Antigua, Aruba, Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Grenada, Saint Maarten & Saint Martin, and Trinidad & Tobago – took place at QP Bistro (one of Rihanna’s favorite restaurants on the island!) with notable attendees, including Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley, and featured music by DJ Puffy & Jus Jay King.

SKIN PREP – FENTY SKIN:

Skin prep focused all on hydrating the complexion to create a lit-from-within glow and smooth base for makeup. For added moisture, Priscilla applied her go-to skin starter, Fenty Skin Fat Water Hydrating Milky Toner Essence ($35), to hydrate and minimize the look of pores and Fenty Skin Plush Puddin’ Intensive Recovery Lip Mask ($23) on lips to soak in moisture while she did the rest of glam.

MAKEUP – FENTY BEAUTY:

Every beauty look starts with a flawless, smooth foundation and Priscilla used her go-to OG Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation in 310 ($40) for a light-as-air, soft matte, shine-free finish.
The focal point of the complexion was the cheeks! For a fresh flush, reminiscent of the sunset’s beautiful colors, Priscilla applied Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush in Petal Poppin’ ($26), a soft baby pink shade, to the apples of the cheeks all the way up through her temples.
To create a warm shimmering eye look inspired by the natural beauty of the beaches in Barbados, Priscilla applied a base of neutral eyeshadow and added Fenty Beauty Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter in Trophy Wife ($40) to the lids for a hyper-metallic gold finish.
For the lips, Priscilla used Fenty Beauty Trace’d Out Pencil Lip Liner in Extra Thigh ($20), a cool brown, for a creamy, high-shine, well-defined lip with a glossy finish.
Lastly, Priscilla locked it all in place with the iconic – and Rihanna’s event must-have! – Fenty Beauty Invisimatte Instant Setting + Blotting Powder ($37) to instantly mattify, blur pores, and extend makeup wear for the event all night.

HAIR BY AHMAD CHRISTOPHER – FENTY HAIR:

Hair was all about capturing the effortless beauty of the island, featuring moisture-locked, natural-looking curls!
To start, Chris created a fresh base using Fenty Hair The Rich One Moisture Repair Shampoo ($29), which gently cleanses while also working to moisturize, repair, and reduce breakage without stripping strands.
Then, to create Rihanna’s bouncy, effortless curls, Chris used Fenty Hair The Homecurl Curl-Defining Cream ($28) from root to ends and scrunched hair for extra curl definition.
For the final step, Chris applied Fenty Hair The Controlling Type Hair-Thickening Edge Control Gel ($18) to tame flyaways and control edges.
