Emma Chamberlain
“It’s all about a nod to the legendary Karl Lagerfeld and the late 90’s with Emma’s Met Gala look. Her fabulous structured two-piece and matching headband are a bit more polished, so we wanted to compliment and balance that with deeper, more edgy makeup. We decided to go with a 90’s brown lip and a rough, blue smokey eye to complete the look.” – Kelsey Deenihan, Celebrity Makeup Artist

Rihanna
“For the 2023 Met Gala, we paired an iconic Rihanna-red lip with a glamorous yet edgy high-shimmer, pearlescent eye. We felt like the combination, matched with a soft-matte, chiselled complexion, celebrated the same classic yet modern beauty of Karl Lagerfeld’s designs.” – Priscilla Ono, Fenty Beauty Global Makeup Artist.
HOW TO GET THE LOOK:
SKIN PREP:
To create a complexion that’s smooth and hydrated for flawless makeup application, Priscilla prepped Rihanna’s skin first with Fenty Skin Pre-Show Glow to smooth skin and get it instantly glowing, followed by Fenty Skin Fat Water Toner Essence to reduce the look of pores and lock in moisture.
LIPS:
“Whenever we have a big lip moment, like tonight, I lather Fenty Skin Plush Puddin’ on her lips the second we start glam, even though the lip colour application is the last thing we do. I love for her lips to really soak up all that hydration, so her lips are full and smooth so that colour just glides on. We used Fenty Beauty Stunna Lip Paint in ‘Uncensored’ because it’s that perfect lightweight, long-lasting universal red that really pops.” – Priscilla Ono
EYES:
Prisiclla Ono combined the shimmering shades from Fenty Beauty Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter in “Lightning Dust/Fire Crystal” with Snap Shadows Mix & Match Eyeshadow Palette in True Neutrals, using the shade “Velvet Cuffs” to create a diffused yet exaggerated metallic eye look, finished with a thick lash, thanks to the NEW! Fenty Beauty Hella Thicc Volumizing Mascara mixed with a false lash. “I really loved this eye look because while it was a soft wash of high shimmer across her whole lid and brow bone. We also created the illusion of a modern angle by saturating the inner corner of her eye area and her lower lash line. It was glamorous and edgy all at the same time,” said Priscilla.
COMPLEXION:
To create Rihanna’s soft matte complexion, Priscilla used her signature “double-blur technique” which layers Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation with Powder Foundation for a totally flawless skin finish. She then double-contoured Rihanna’s cheeks by also layering Fenty Beauty Match Stix Contour Skinstick in “Mocha” to chisel the cheekbones with Sun Stalk’r Instant Warmth Bronzer in “Bajan Gyal” to further enhance the contour and warm up her complexion. She then applied Rihanna’s go-to skin- finishing product, Fenty Beauty Invisimatte Instant Setting + Blotting Powder, to further blur pores, control shine and ensure long-lasting makeup wear throughout the Met Gala.
FRAGRANCE:
As the ultimate finishing touch, Rihanna spritzed her signature scent, Fenty Eau de Parfum – a warm, sensual floral fragrance powered by magnolia, musk, tangerine and Bulgarian rose, for the evening.
