Rihanna just ticked off two major – but unexpected – beauty trends in her latest Instagram post. Sharing a video on Instagram Stories, Rihanna looks incredible with super neat eyebrows and gorgeous long braids – but it's her eye make-up that we can't stop staring at.
In the video, RiRi is scribbling heavy eyeliner along her lower lash line, with barely any on the top. She's also rocking a super exaggerated point on the inner corners, almost like a wing. Recently, this look has become known as a reverse cat eye, an eyeliner style that went viral on TikTok with over 80 million views (and counting...).
But of course, RiRi is a trendsetter and so, she took her reverse cat eye one step further. Instead of going for a traditional black formula, the Fenty Beauty founder went for bright red.
At first, I thought Rihanna was getting into the festive spirit but if you listen to the video closely, the vibe suddenly takes a slight turn.
In the background, a man’s voice from the TV says: 'Their chance of solving a murder is cut in half if they don’t get a lead in the first three hours.' Um, not quite so festive, then. But that means RiRi watches true crime documentaries in her spare time and she truly is a girl after my own heart.
Plus, after Lizzo sported bright blue mascara just last week, it looks like bright eye make-up is here to stay.
BRB, just gonna go and dust off my baby blue Miss Sporty eyeshadow. Or, I could just make like Rihanna and go red...
