Our favorite bad gal never misses—Rihanna's twisted updo natural hairstyle shows off her rose gold makeup. Proving that makeup has no "rules" (and even if they did, would she follow them?), her makeup artist, Priscilla Ono mixed Fenty Beauty Bomb Posse Mega Mix + Match Eyeshadow Palette, she's wearing Fenty Beauty Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter in Ginger Binge and Moscow Mule.

“We wanted to create a clean, refreshed beauty look using all rose gold hues as a soft juxtaposition to the dramatic structure of her gown. We kept the eye minimal and mixed different rose gold tones on her lips, cheeks and body for an all-over sheen.” – Priscilla Ono

Daisy Edgar Jones' soft glam and chic chingon allowed for her flawless skin to take center stage.

"Skin prep is the most important step for makeup application. When prepping skin for any red carpet I like to make sure the skin feels soft, radiant and hydrated. I prepped Daisy’s skin with the Decorté Liposome Advanced Repair Serum and pressed in the Liposome Advanced Repair Cream to seal it all in. I love how lightweight it feels and makes the skin feel smooth." ~ Nina Park, celebrity makeup artist
