It breaks my heart to see what is happening in the rest of the Caribbean, my neighboring islands, you feel helpless when it's a natural disaster you have no control and these are islands that I have been to and love… It's so sad.”
RiRi recently graced not one, but three, Elle magazine covers to celebrate her makeup launch. Looking flawless on one cover with a giant heart on her face. Rihanna said, “That was fun. A nice big lavender heart on my face… I'm so OCD, I wanted the edges to be so super sharp and clean, it had to be the perfect heart, I love it.” She said they actually used her makeup for the look.
Going way back with our AJ and having a little fun with him for interviewing her about makeup, she said, “They're going to let you talk to me about make up… Let's do it, I want to see what you got.” AJ replied, “You want to talk about the contour, the colors, what brushes you use.” Rihanna laughed, saying, “Contour, that's a big word.”
The 29-year-old told AJ she was very hands on with the line, “You know me, I'm a control freak, especially anything with my name on it, my face on it, this was creating from scratch, from product to packaging to the boxes, to the shade names, every aspect, I enjoyed it because I had complete control.”

Promising she will bring her make up to the Caribbean "The Caribbean cannot be excluded we will make sure that that happens right now whatever you can find a Sephora store or a Harvey Nicholas it is in there.”
