Drop everything: Rihanna just announced a new Fenty Beauty mascara — and we’re already obsessed. The Anti singer took to Instagram on Wednesday (June 21) to show off the latest product from the artist’s beauty brand and gave us a little ASMR in the process.
The video starts off with her holding the black tube of mascara in front of the camera while moving the brush up and down in the tube before applying it to her lashes. Immediately you can see her lashes lift, giving the viral TikTok mascara a run for its money.
“I just want to keep putting it on too, ’cause it’ll look like a fake lash when I’m done,” she said in the video.
The mascara is available wherever Fenty Beauty is sold, including FentyBeauty.com, Ulta and Sephora for less than $20. It’s already garnered close to five stars on Fenty Beauty with reviewers praising its ability to give “long defined eyelashes,” which the “Love on the Brain” singer only confirms in her video.
“And yes, they’re real, they’re real lashes,” the star added at the end of the clip after applying the product to both eyes.

If you’re looking to snag an under $20 tube of mascara that’s Rihanna-approved and will leave your lashes looking “Hella Thicc,” then add this mascara to your cart ASAP.

Celeb-founded beauty brands are great — especially when we catch the stars sporting their own makeup products. Gwen Stefani got dolled up in GXVE Beauty during a trip to London on Monday (June 19).
After announcing her U.K. tour dates, the punk-pop singer has been promoting the tour and her new single “True Babe,” which is set to be released Friday (June 23).
From Rihanna to Lady Gaga: 6 Artists Who Launched Their Own Beauty Brands
06/20/2023
The “Just a Girl” singer made sure to keep fans updated on her London activities through a series of posts on social media, and we couldn’t help but notice her makeup choice. In a video Stefani posted on Instagram, she announced her arrival in London while cutting to various angles of her hair, outfit and, most importantly, blue eyeshadow from GXVE Beauty.
“So I heard true babe [sic] is trending on Twitter,” she captioned the post. “So excited [for you] to hear the full song this friday!!!”
Check out the full video below.
Rather than slather the liquid eyeshadow onto her entire lid, the singer decided to sport a sharp cat-eye look in the glittery neon blue shade (she may have also used the GXVE Beauty creamy gel eyeliner in metallic cobalt blue). You can currently shop the Paint It Up cream eyeshadow on Sephora and GXVE Beauty.
Sephora
Paint It Up Clean 24-Hour Cream Eyeshadow
$20
Grab a tube of the Paint It Up cream eyeshadow in one (or all) of the seven shades — including two matte colors. The formula is not only buildable but includes ingredients that aim to be crease-proof, smudge-proof and fade-resistant for up to 24 hours.
Now that nostalgic trends are in (think jelly shoes, bucket hats and even flip phones) sporting an ’80s-inspired blue lid is stylish again. Whether you choose to recreate Stefani’s look or want to come up with your own styles, this creamy eyeshadow features a lightweight formula that’s vegan, cruelty-free and gluten-free.

Not sure what perfume to wear? Sol De Janeiro has you covered (literally) with its viral body and hair spray that shoppers on TikTok are obsessed with.

Ariana Grande can not only say she’s a Billboard Hot 100 chart-topping singer, but also a founder of a PETA-approved beauty brand.
When it comes to makeup and skincare, it goes without saying that Grande is a trendsetter. As we become more aware of what goes into our products (and on our skin), making sure our beauty products are clean has been a trend that isn’t going away anytime soon.
The Best Tarot Cards: Ariana Grande Doesn’t Leave Home Without This Magical Deck
05/30/2023
Grande, though, has made it clear that her brand R.E.M Beauty is not just something she does on the side of filming Wicked and recording music. In fact, she takes pride in her beauty brand and even uses the products herself, as she showed in a recent TikTok debuting her tarot cards.
Soon, her products will be featuring PETA’s logo and be listed among PETA’s Beauty Without Bunnies list of products not tested on animals. This marks a major milestone, as the brand becomes one of more than 6,000 around the world to have banned all animal tests on their products, according to PETA. While R.E.M. beauty joins the growing list, there are still beauty brands that continue to test on animals, which PETA emphasized in a statement.
“Every cosmetics brand needs to break free from useless tests on animals, and thanks to Ariana’s fabulous cruelty-free line, R.E.M. beauty is now PETA-approved and leading the way,” PETA Senior Vice President Lisa Lange said.
For those new to the brand or if you just want to stock up on your favorites, Grande’s makeup products are available at Ulta Beauty or on the R.E.M. beauty website.
Here are just some of the bestselling R.E.M. beauty products that you can add to your cruelty-free makeup collection.

National Sunscreen Day is Saturday (May 27) but even outside of SPF’s special day, it’s important to lather on sunscreen — especially if you plan on attending outdoor festivals and tours. It may feel good soaking up that vitamin D, but too much exposure will turn that summer tan into a red hot sunburn.

No matter if it’s rain, shine, overcast or even partly cloudy, wearing a solid sunscreen will help keep your skin looking smooth and healthy. The last thing you want to deal with is sped up signs of aging or, in worst cases, skin cancer. That’s why Billboard spoke with with Dr. Angela J. Lamb, a board-certified dermatologist and associate professor of Dermatology to discover the best sunscreens (and even added a few of ours and celebrity favorites in there, too).
Before you go and stock your cart, Lamb gave some tips to keep in mind including how to know if the one you’re using is truly “the best.”
“I recommend something that will go on easily, feel good on people’s skin and permit them to wear make up on top if desired,” she said. Lamb added that you should also look for ingredients like oxide and titanium dioxide as “those ingredients are going to help the sunscreen work immediately when applied to your skin.”
And in terms of how often you should reapply sunscreen, that’ll depend on what you’re doing.
“If you are outside sweating or doing any sports, your sunscreen really needs to be reapplied approximately every 80 to 90 minutes,” she said. “If you really only spend a little bit of time outside — maybe to or from work during your commute — you can put on sunscreen in the morning, and maybe, if the sun is still out when you leave to go home, reapply or use [a] powder [sunscreen] to touch it up.”
Memorial Day beauty deals are already happening meaning you can score quality formulas at discounted prices. To help you upgrade your beauty routine and pack up essential festival gear, check below for the best sunscreens, according to a dermatologist as well as ours and celebrity favorites.
