Awards season has been in full swing for nearly two months, all leading up to Sunday's 90th Academy Awards_  by [Cady Lang](https://time.com/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang Mar 7, 2018 4:32 PM UTC  by [Cady Lang](https://time.com/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang Mar 7, 2018 4:32 PM UTC _Get Out_ star [Daniel Kaluuya](http://time.com/money/5181745/get-out-daniel-kaluuya-best-picture/) was positively glowing on the red carpet when he arrived at the [90th annual Academy Awards](http://time.com/5181916/oscars-red-carpet-photos-2018/) on Sunday, but it wasn’t just the flashing lights or his best actor nomination that made him look so luminous. It turns out that Kaluuya had a little help from [Queen of the Internet](http://time.com/4947298/8-times-rihanna-proved-shes-the-queen-of-the-internet-clap-back/), Rihanna. It turns out that Kaluuya’s makeup artist, Amber Amos, took some cues from the bad gal and used the Profiltr foundation from her Fenty Beauty line to help prep Kaluuya’s skin while grooming him for the night; in case you were wondering, his shades are 480 and 490. Rihanna’s [Fenty Beauty](http://time.com/4927962/rihanna-fenty-beauty-makeup-line/) has been widely praised for its inclusive campaigns and high-quality, diverse offerings since it made its debut on the makeup scene last year, so much so that it was named to [_TIME’_s 2017 “Best Inventions” list](http://time.com/5023212/best-inventions-of-2017/). The Profiltr foundation that Kaluuya used has been an favorite of customers everywhere, thanks to its wide, 40 shade range, something that Rihanna prioritized while creating the product. “We are all so different, with our own unique skin tones, so we started with the 40 foundation shades out the gate,” Rihanna told [_TIME_](http://time.com/5026366/rihanna-fenty-beauty-best-inventions-2017/). One thing’s for certain, however — whether it’s [her own movie premiere](http://time.com/4862468/rihanna-dess-valerian-red-carpet/) or the Oscars, Rihanna remains the [MVP of the red carpet.](http://time.com/4762629/rihanna-queen-met-gala-2017/) See Kaluuya’s flawless red carpet look, thanks to Fenty Beauty below. > [](https://twitter.com/fentybeauty/status/970816114048380929) ## Transcript For me.
