The powder Rihanna used during the Super Bowl halftime show has 145,000+ likes on Sephora
Rihanna brought the house down during her Super Bowl LVII halftime performance. As much as we loved the medley of all her greatest hits and her surprise pregnancy announcement, one of our favorite moments was when she powdered her nose mid-performance using the Invisimatte Instant Setting + Blotting Powder from her wildly popular Fenty Beauty line.
We weren't surprised to see Rihanna give herself the touch up with the product, as it's been a staple in many beauty lovers' makeup bags for years. In fact, it's so popular it has more than 145,000 loves at Sephora alone. Any time you find unwelcome shine on your forehead, nose or cheeks, just tap on a bit of the translucent powder.
According to the brand, it's infused with an exclusive pore-diffusing complex that “absorbs shine and gives you a natural matte refresh for an instantly filtered look.” The powder itself is traceless against all skin tones, so you don’t have to worry about it leaving behind a white mess or giving you the dreaded flashback in photos. Even better, it won’t cake or clog pores, settle into fine lines or wrinkles or disturb the rest of your makeup. Instead, it actually extends the wear of your foundation.
With details like that, it makes sense that this powder has so many devoted fans. “I've been using The Fenty Setting and Blotting Powder for a few months now,” wrote one. “It works great as a setting powder, my makeup doesn't move. It keeps my face from getting shiny during the day as well. The packaging opens easily but is secure in my makeup bag. I like that it has a mirror for on-the-go touch ups.”
“I love this powder so much! I use it after a few hours of having my makeup on to touch up on any oily spots. It works great and doesn’t leave any white cast! Love it,” raved another.
A third said: “Talk about a filter in a compact! It works like a charm and doesn’t leave a film or feel like chalk on my skin! It conceals flaws and gives me a flawless filtered appearance! Where has this product been my entire life!”
After its Super Bowl appearance last night we wouldn’t be surprised if it sells out soon, so be sure to snag the Fenty Beauty Invisimatte at Sephora for $34 now, if you want to give it a try for yourself.
