Rihanna’s Super Bowl halftime performance not only proved that being pregnant won’t stop her from putting on a great show, but that Fenty lipstick can withstand one the world’s biggest stages.

The singer/makeup mogul put on a spectacular show in a custom-made red jumpsuit and corset from Loewe, a custom Alaïa coat and Fenty’s Icon Velvet Liquid Lipstick in a new shade called “The MVP.”

“That red stage called for the ultimate Rihanna red lip,” said Priscilla Ono, Fenty Beauty Global Makeup Artist. “We wanted her beauty look to celebrate this moment and be a true reflection of her timeless beauty. And to me, there’s nothing more iconic to Rihanna than her soft matte skin and a bold red lip.”

The newest addition to Fenty’s Icon Velvet Liquid Lipstick was released last week and joins a handful of other shades including C-Suite’Heart, RiRi, H.B.I.C. and Bread Winn’r. According to the product description, Fenty Icon Velvet Liquid Lipsticks offers up a “creamy, whipped texture” that “hugs lips with intense color in one precise swipe.” The $29 lipstick is available at FentyBeauty.com, Sephora, Kohl’s and Ulta Beauty.
