The only person with a bigger stash of Fenty Beauty products than the brand's Global Makeup Artist Priscilla Ono is Rihanna herself. And even that is up for debate. Ono, who works with Rih for all Fenty Beauty events and campaigns, built an entire room in her Downtown LA apartment to house her ever-growing makeup collection. In this episode of Beauty Stash, we get an exclusive look at Ono's drool-worthy collection of Fenty Beauty.

The makeup artist has two massive closets filled with products she uses to restock her kit as well as Fenty Beauty PR mailings and limited edition collections. She has every single Fenty foundation and concealer, as well as doubles and triples of Rihanna's shade 340. Her favorite brush from the line? "I'm obsessed with the foundation brush. It's the best brush. I use it for foundation, contouring, and blush," she says.
Next, Ono shows off her stash of Fenty Beauty Match Stix. "If I could just have one product, I would say Match Stix. Because you can do anything," she says. She uses them for foundation, concealer, eyebrows, contouring, blush, lipstick—you name it. The creamy pigments are truly multi-purpose. "For Rihanna, I always use Mocha and Truffle as her contour shades," she adds.
The most unique item in Ono's beauty stash is Rihanna's lab sample tester of the original Gloss Bomb lip gloss. She also kept the singer-turned-beauty-mogul's pink eyelashes and rhinestones from looks she wore at Coachella. Both are housed in a plastic bin labeled archives which will likely make it to a makeup museum one day.
The rest of the closet is filled with various PR packages from Fenty Beauty. "Fifteen years ago when I first started doing makeup, it was a dream to get a PR package," Ono says. "Now I'm doing the makeup that goes in the PR package. It's surreal."
The other side of the closet is full of various gadgets, supplies, and tools Ono uses when she's on set. "I have some skincare and prep stuff on this side. I have face wipes, hand sanitizer, my favorite brush cleaner, body moisturizer, tons of eyelashes," Ono explains. "This is really cool too, it's disposable soap. Makeup artists have to have clean hands." The sheets of soap help keep her hands clean when she's on a set in remote or desert locations.
"Have you ever had a face lift?" Ono asks as she pulls out a set of face tape. "For editorials, when I am doing models, sometimes I want the liner to look really snatched. So under the hair I will pull back a little bit so you get that really straight, snatched eyeliner."
The makeup artist then walks over to her custom-made vanity, which she uses not only to do her own makeup but also to shoot tutorials and digital content. On vanity countertop are two new products from Fenty Beauty launched this summer: the Pro Kiss'r Luscious Lip Balm in Hint Hint and Pro Kiss'r Lip-Loving Scrubstick. The latter is a grainy balm that gently exfoliates lips, while the balm comes in a unique doe-foot applicator like a lip gloss, so you can apply the hydrating formula with precision. "We've never really launched anything for skincare," Ono says. Rihanna did trademark Fenty Skin in early 2019—so we imagine it won't be the last time we see skincare from Fenty Beauty.
