It’s no secret that 21Ninety stans Rihanna, but then again, who doesn’t? So you can imagine our excitement when she dropped a tutorial for her flawless face beat on Instagram a couple of days ago. Using her very own Fenty Beauty products, Rihanna took us through every step of her look and we’ve got all the steps, in case you missed it:
Rih’s look only calls for two products from her line, the new Moroccan Spice Palette and her OG. Rihanna began using Cumin Get It, a terra-cotta color from her Moroccan Spice Palette, all over her eyelids and stretching it to the outer corners of her eyes. She continues with Henna-Sea, a brick color, along the creases of her eyes and begins to blend. "It’s all about the blend sis," she wrote on the post.

Queen Rih then took a flat eyeshadow brush to apply Desert Bakes, a metallic copper bronze, to the lower creases of her eyes and added a hint of it to the inner corners of her eyes. She completed her eye look by adding some more Cumin Get It to her inner-lower lash line, following that with Henna-Sea towards the outer corner of her lower lash line. Here’s the best part of the tutorial — Rihanna used her Blonde Matchstix Shimmer Skin Stick on her lips for a metallic lip look. Needless to say, Rihanna looked like a glow-goddess by the end of the tutorial.

We were so intrigued that Rihanna turned her Matchstix Shimmer Skin Stick to a multi-use product and we’ve found some other unlikely products that can also be multi-use, especially if you agree with Rihanna’s summer vibe of "more is more." Keep scrolling to see our favorite multi-use products:
FENTY BEAUTY BY RIHANNA Match Stix Shimmer Skinstick
Fenty Beauty’s Match Stix have tons of hacks and uses if you search the tips online, but to make it easier, we’ve got them right here for you. Match Stix can be used as a highlighter, eyeshadow and lipstick if you’d like the "more is more" metallic look. For other Match Stix uses, the magnet within the packaging allows you to keep all of your Match Stix together so you don’t lose them in the depths of your makeup bag.

If you haven’t purchased anything from Garnier in a while, head to your local drugstore soon because this dry oil is great for absolutely everything. The triple nutrition in this oil comes from the avocado, olive and almond oil, which is deliciously healthy for your skin, hair and body. This oil is great for dry hair days to give your crown a shine that’ll last but it also doubles as a sealant for your hair, so it’ll protect your hair from the harsh chemicals in pools and harsh salts at the beach. If you want a glowy summer look, dab some of this miraculous oil onto your cheekbones for a dewy look and finish the look by slathering some on your arms and legs for the healthy, moisturized look.
Translucent Powder

Translucent powders have been used to bake for some time now, but we’re here to share some other purposes for your favorite "baking" powder. Everyone has a different taste when it comes to their favorite powder, so we'll leave the choice up to you. However, if you’ve applied way too much bronzer, blush or even eyeshadow, adding some translucent powder can tone it down just enough to complete the look. If you lost your matte lipstick, grab any color that’s readily available and layer some translucent powder over your favorite lipstick color. Translucent powder is also great in between coats of mascara for thicker, fuller lashes and can even be used as dry shampoo if you’re in a serious pickle.
Egyptian Magic
Having a do-it-all beauty balm is a must for your makeup bag, your beach bag and almost every bag you have. This balm’s multi-uses include hydrating dry lips and soothing dry patches on your skin. If you’re a couple of days late for a manicure, slathering some balm on your cuticles hydrates your fingertips for a polished look. This also quadruples as an eye gloss for a chic summer face beat. Plus, adding some balm under your highlighter will enhance your glow to an entirely different level. Honestly, it's a makeup artist fave because it’s a never-fail product.
BIO-OIL

No multi-product list is complete without Bio-Oil. This drugstore cult favorite is great for just about everything, except maybe cooking, but you get the point. Bio-Oil is an amazing body oil which helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks, scars and dark spots. This oil is also great for a smooth, clean shave that will leave your skin hydrated. Adding Bio-Oil to your moisturizer, highlighter or foundation is great for extra hydration and a dewy look that’s more healthy than shiny.
