Popsugar Beauty Celebrity Beauty Rihanna's Best Body Highlighter Looks | Fenty Body Lava A Brief History of Rihanna's Glow, In Honour of Fenty Beauty's Body Lava 4 April 2018 by Alaina Demopoulos First Published: 27 March 2018 Image Source: Getty While news that Fenty Beauty will be launching an all-over body highlighter was unexpected, we can't exactly call it a surprise. After all, brand founder Rihanna has been rocking a full-body glow for most of her 12-year career. From her A Girl Like Me days back in the midaughts to her appearance at this year's Grammy Awards, the singer has blessed us with a bevy of glistening beauty looks.

The "Unfaithful" singer looked like a swinging '60s Bond Girl doppelganger at a party. 4 / 34 2006 Image Source: Getty / MJ Kim Eleven years before making lavender highlight a thing, Rihanna predicted the hue's popularity in a fabulous purple frock, which perfectly paired with her shoulder highlight. 5 / 34 2007 Image Source: Getty / Scott Gries During the MTV VMAs, Rihanna's glittering decolletage positively radiated shimmer and good vibes. 6 / 34 2007 Image Source: Getty / Brad Barket Even though she wore a more conservative dress at a Paper Magazine party, RiRi still slathered on the highlighter. 7 / 34 2007 Image Source: Getty / Ethan Miller On the red carpet, Rihanna worked her angles and shoulder/arm body glitter. 8 / 34 2007 Image Source: Getty / Rob Loud Another gold-on-gold look that's absolute heaven. 9 / 34 2007 Image Source: Getty / STRINGER Sure, a flashbulb is perhaps the main culprit for Rihanna's flare-esque shine, but we suspect some lotion is, too. 10 / 34 2008 Image Source: Getty / Gareth Cattermole Sophisticated shimmer: at the Brit Awards, Rihanna did the subtle, fancy English Rose version of body highlight. 11 / 34 2008 Image Source: Getty / Vince Bucci This is the glow of a Grammy victor. 12 / 34 2008 Image Source: Getty / Kevin Winter TBH, Rihanna's abs here have a better highlight than I do most days. 13 / 34 2008 Image Source: Getty / Rob Loud RiRi matched her golden cheekbones to her shoulders. 14 / 34 2009 Image Source: Getty / Jason Merritt All I want for Christmas is Rihanna's soft bronze glow at this 2009 Grammy party. 15 / 34 2009 Image Source: Getty / Jason Merritt RiRi opted for a structural dress to bring a sartorial edge to her chest highlight. 16 / 34 2010 Image Source: Getty / Gareth Cattermole Rihanna stopped by London to turn on the Christmas lights at a shopping center, except with her glow she actually was the shopping lights. 17 / 34 2011 Image Source: Getty / TIMOTHY A.

Rihanna took that advice to heart and became a shimmering disco ball at the iHeartRadio Music Festival. 21 / 34 2012 Image Source: Getty / Samir Hussein Hey now, hey now. Rihanna's shag and mountain of body bronzer is what '70s dreams are made of. 22 / 34 2012 Image Source: Getty / Michael Kovac Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, and Ben Affleck were all GQ's Men of the Year in 2012, but at an event celebrating them, Rihanna and her just-back-from-vacation shine stole all of our attention. 23 / 34 2012 Image Source: Getty / Christopher Polk Another example of back highlight done right, courtesy of the Queen herself. 24 / 34 2012 Image Source: Getty / David Livingston Princess RIhanna, ruler of makeup. 25 / 34 2013 Image Source: Getty / Kevork Djansezian Rihanna opted for a subtle glow at the Grammy Awards. 26 / 34 2014 Image Source: Getty / Kevin Winter You'd think mermaid-blue lipstick would be the focal point of a look, but Rihanna's shoulders take center stage again with their flare-esque highlight. 27 / 34 2014 Image Source: Getty / Larry Busacca To put it in clinical terms, Rihanna brought sexy back with her glistening shoulder blades. 28 / 34 2014 Image Source: Getty / Jason Merritt Rihanna + Crystal pasties + arm luminizer = the only type of math problem we ever want to do. 29 / 34 2015 Image Source: Getty / Alberto E.
