The R&B star is at it again with another fashion magazine spread! Rihanna appears on the September cover of ‘W’ magazine! She definitely set the bar high for fall makeup and stunned with her impeccable tribal look and dark lips! Although this look is a little out there, we think RiRi looks super fierce!

Rihanna, 26, debuted photos from her fashion spread for the September issue of W magazine on her Twitter on August 11! We cannot be more impressed with how Rihanna can pull off such a dramatic look! The famous singer looked so fierce with tribal makeup, dark lips, and a sultry, smudged eye look! There is no question that RiRi loves taking the ultimate beauty and fashion risks and no one can blame her — she definitely has the confidence to pull it off!

Rihanna On ‘W’ Magazine — Fall Makeup Look For September Cover

Although there has been a lot of buzz about Rihanna’s love life recently, the star has been keeping busy with her own successful career. She recently released pictures for a new fragrance coming out, plus a new MAC Cosmetics collection!

It looks like Rihanna isn’t letting anyone stop her from continuing her success!

RiRi’s multi-colored tribal makeup is definitely getting us excited for the fall! Her sultry eyes and dark lip definitely add to the star’s edgy sex appeal, and her septum piercing sets the look over the top — we are loving how FIERCE she looked!

RiRi tweeted several photos of the fashion spread where she sported different looks, like her covered in fur, wearing thigh high boots and statement jewelry!

Dark Lips & Sultry Eyes — Get The Look

With fall fast approaching, you definitely want to start sprucing up your look with darker, edgier makeup! Rihanna’s makeup is a little out there, but you can try a more wearable look with a dark lip and smudged eyeliner! The dark lip trend is going to come back in full force, and we have just the one to make your lips look bold and beautiful!

We recommend using Smashbox Be Legendary Lipstick in Plum Scene! This is a deep burgundy plum color and is great for darkening up your makeup while still looking fierce! What’s great about this lipsticks is that it comes in a range of matte or cream shades, so you can decide what type of finish you want!

So, HollywoodLifers, will you be trying out RiRi’s fall makeup look soon? We’d love to know!

Holy sh*t! Rihanna looks uglier than she already is!!

Absolutely luv it. High end shoot. It don’t get any better than the 3 beautiful black supermodels. #BeautifulBajan stays winning!

Like KKar she has the same look… pouty mouth, sleepy eyes… it’s tiring to look at the same expressions every time.

Everyone is praising these photos and rightfully so. My favorite is the one with wolves 🔥🔥🔥🔥.

I don’t like her, but normally she takes good pictures. But these pictures are horrible.

She is authentic and feels comfortable with herself so that makes it easier for the photoshoots. For the most part she is indeed very photogenic. She would look perfect if she just got a nose job.

She don’t need a nose job. She’s fine just the way she is,
and why should she make alterations to her appearance.
She has no problem getting modeling work, nor turning
heads.

W mag is huge!!Way to go again Rihanna! Stop hating HL!

She is on so many magazine covers national and internationally.She may need to be called model and recording artist.Karrueche and her management has an idea for her next modeling shoot.They will file it for future reference.

The shots with her, Iman and Naomi are ridiculous. Rih is so photogenic and could easily be a supermodel. She has the height, weight and features for it. Rih stays winning!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT! Slayanna does it again!

Awesome wild . Rihanna had some help in this : Not being a fan is not answering the question of is it hott . Cajun food to spicy. Then you say i like ice cream . See what i mean !!
