Rihanna's Fenty Beauty brand has updated its offerings with the addition of the Diamond Bomb highlighter, which boasts a versatile formula that makes it suitable for use all over. This enables consumers to get the [perfect glow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glow-protect-spf-50-liquid-highlighter) for any occasion, whether they're looking to give their collarbones and shoulders some shimmer, or highlight the high points on their face. Alternatively, Diamond Bomb can be used as a subtle eye shadow, or as a lip topper.

Although Diamond Bomb has a jelly-like consistency, it quickly melts into the skin once it's applied, making for a more natural look when used sparingly, which can easily be turned into a [show-stopping glow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-glow-stayn) when used more generously. The product can either be applied with the finger tips, or with the Fenty Beauty kabuki brush, which is perfect for providing an even distribution.
