Rihanna's Liquid Lipstick Application Tip Will Change Your Makeup Game

Rihanna's beauty look in 2017's "Wild Thoughts" music video (via YouTube) was pure perfection. If you experienced serious makeup envy at her piercing blue eyeshadow and bold red lips, join the club. Luckily, as part of Fenty Beauty's Tutorial Tuesdays on their YouTube channel, Rihanna pulled back the veil on the striking look, so we can replicate it at home. But her gorgeous eye makeup wasn't the only element that made fans' jaws drop.

Fenty Beauty's cult-favorite Stunna Lip Paint regularly takes center stage in Rihanna's beauty routine (via Instagram), and this was no exception. Her fiery red liquid lipstick is its own movement and, thanks to her beauty tutorial, it's also ridiculously easy to copy. The singer's tips for her signature pouty lips are a total game-changer. In the video, Rihanna revealed that she applies her lipstick in the middle in order to get an even application. 

"I usually like to start my lipstick right here, in the middle, no matter if it's lipgloss, lipstick, [or] lip paint," she explained. "There's a certain height to the top of your lip that you always want to be even because if it's not, you always end up going over your lipstick over and over again." Once Rihanna has applied liquid lipstick to her top lip, the beauty icon fills it in for an even coat and then moves on to her bottom lip. Easy!
