Rihanna Announces Partnership With MAC Cosmetics On Her 25th Birthday.MAC Cosmetics will release a line exclusive designed and created by Rihanna in a deal the superstar called ‘a no-brainer!’

The first collection, RiRi Woo was inspired by MAC’s Ruby Woo (and the lipstick’s famed ability to work on everyone’s skin tone) and will launch in time with one of Rihanna’s concerts, on May 4-5 (and is pictured below). There will also be a summer collection which will include two more lipsticks and a powder blush. For fall, there will be 16 new products (four new lipsticks and a lipglass version of RiRi Woo) and false lashes. And finally, to round out the year there will be a holiday collection which will include ten items including a nail polish, makeup bag and more lipsticks.

"When you think of makeup, the brand that pops into your mind—for something legit—is MAC," Rihanna said. "Whatever color you want, it's like, 'Let's go to MAC.' I've been using MAC on tour for such a long time it was a natural fit for me. I have always loved makeup, and I always said that if I do it, I want to do it with a credible brand."

As for the packaging, it is a fun rose gold and pink color and decorated with RiRi’s famous “R” sketch.Contained in pretty pink packaging, the first item to hit stores is titled RiRi Woo. It’s a sultry flame-colored lipstick inspired by her favorite MAC red, Ruby Woo.

The Bajan beauty’s collection will also feature a summer line with two additional lipsticks: Lustre Drops and blush, a fall line with four lipsticks, lip gloss, eye shadows and false lashes, and lastly a holiday line of 10 cheery items including nail polish and more lipstick.

"I really got to play," Rihanna explained on the process of working with the beauty brand. "There's so much to choose from, and you can mix different textures with different colors and different greens in different eye shadows. I learned so much about the detail of makeup and what makes things look different. What makes it apply different is really important. Every little detail is important.

She also took special care in creating RiRi Woo, because she wanted it to stand up to the original, Ruby Woo. “It’s difficult to get a red lipstick that beats Ruby Woo because it works with every skin tone. I had so many different samples to choose from and so many different colors underneath – blue, yellow, orange and pink bases. And I got to pick one that worked, and I tried it on all my friends to make sure it worked on all of our skin tones.”
