RELATED PHOTOS: Rihanna’s Most Risk-Taking Style Moments of All Time As for when one of the world’s most beautiful people feels her most beautiful, Rihanna tells PEOPLE exclusively that it’s all about “when my skin is really good.” “When I’m tan and the humidity is really good, and my makeup happens to look perfect,” the style star says. “The better your skin is, the better makeup looks on your skin. I guess I come from that weather of sunshine and humidity.” Andrea Lavinthal Andrea Lavinthal Andrea Lavinthal So what’s the secret to her flawless skin? “Water is important, moisturizing is important, and occasional exfoliation but not anything that is too rough,” Rihanna admits. “I’m conservative when it comes to exfoliating because my skin is really sensitive and I don’t want to do too much damage when it comes to that, or any damage at all. So I keep it finer.” The collection launches on Sephora.com Friday and at an unprecedented 1,600 stores across 17 countries. Set your alarms early to shop the collection.
