None other than the Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Palette, and the Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Palette alone. Oh, and let's not forget the canvas — the artist's own forearm, of course. In a brief video set to a remix of Rihanna's own "Work," Kondrevich deftly captures the singer's exquisitely contoured face, dramatically winged liner, and trendy matte oxblood lips — as well as her trademark impish smize.
