Here's What Rihanna Really Looks Like Without Makeup

Rihanna told InStyle that her love affair with makeup started when she was growing up in Barbados. Her mother did makeup for a living, so when RiRi entered a beauty pageant as a teen, she didn't need to hire outside help to doll her up for the competition. However, RiRi said she was only allowed to wear makeup for special occasions.

But in true teenager fashion, she sneakily experimented with cosmetics whenever she could. "Lipstick always got me in trouble," she told Elle. "I always had the urge to wear it." Her passion for makeup makes her the ideal celeb spokesperson for her cosmetics brand, and one of her makeup tutorials on the Fenty Beauty YouTube channel has amassed more than 7.7 million views as of this writing.

While convincing fans that makeup is magnificent might seem like it's in Rihanna's best interests, she had to shift her sales pitch a bit when she launched a line of skincare products. She also created a Fenty Skin YouTube channel, where fans can watch the bare-faced singer perform each step of her morning skincare routine. And when she found herself stuck at home during the pandemic, RiRi touted the benefits of taking a long break from using makeup and sticking to her daily routine, which involves using a makeup remover-cleanser, toner-serum, and moisturizer with SPF (all of which are Fenty Skin products, obvs). "My skin has improved tremendously throughout quarantine," she told Glamour.
