Rihanna showing us how to work the Fenty Beauty Diamond Bomb All-Over Diamond Veil highlighter is honestly all the empowerment we need today. The beauty mogul has been uploading fierce makeup tutorials for a while now. Her latest (below) is about the one hack everyone needs for glowing skin: perfecting highlighter application.
The beauty guru uploaded a tutorial for her highlighter and like a true goddess, gave us the scoop on the glow. In the video, RiRi reveals that the product was inspired by her 2016 “Kiss It Better” video where her shimmer game was on point. “We created this really special formula, it’s really solid, but it also feels like there’s a bit of liquid, a bit of like a smooth, creamy undertone with all the shimmer on the top,” she says in the tutorial.

A Formula That Really Shines
Texture is all that matters when it comes to highlighters. RiRi swears that she loves the jelly, powder-like, creamy formula of Diamond Bomb that melts into your skin. And it isn't cakey at all, even when you go a little overboard.

The Secret to the Application
Rihanna swears by using a kabuki brush to apply her highlighter because it blends the liquid seamlessly. A kabuki brush usually has tapered bristles and is designed for focused color application.

The Packaging
Who doesn't love packaging as beautiful as the end result of the product itself? "The packaging was really inspired by my CFDA Fashion Icon look," says Rihanna. "If you remember that outfit, then you can see the similarities between this packaging and that dress," says the singer, whose Swarovski crystal-encrusted Adam Selman gown was probably one of her best looks ever.
