Rescu. has all the latest celebrity beauty goss… Glee Star, Naya Rivera, reveals her painful struggle with acne and Barbadian R&B Queen, Rihanna, shares her new favourite nail treatment and diva beauty demands!
The ‘Glee’ beauty – who is the new face of spot solution Proactive – admits she found having bad skin tough, but now she is “fixed” of the problem she is feeling more confident than ever. She said: “I had really bad skin for a while earlier this year. It sort of just came out of nowhere. It was like adult acne, and I was like: ‘I’ve had great skin my entire life. How am I dealing with this now at 24?’ It was pretty embarrassing going to work every day and having to be on camera and having the make-up artists be like, ‘Oh what’s going?’ My ‘Glee’ co-stars were really supportive. I would go around and talk about it. It was a point of insecurity for me. But I’m glad I got it fixed, I’ll say that.” She also reveals she approached the company as she wanted to share her success story with the product. She told People: “I used Proactiv and it really did work for me. It helped me out, so I got in contact with the company and told them I would love to share my story. So I showed them photos and they said, ‘This is great.’ Wait till people see my pictures. That’s all I have to say. I definitely have the photos to prove [I had a problem].”
The ‘We Found Love’ hitmaker has reportedly favoured the long-enduring nail treatment – a four step process that cures under a UV lamp and gives a chip-resistant finish for up to two weeks – since they launched last year. A spokesperson for the brand said: “Rihanna was one of the very first celebrity fans of CND Shellac! She even wore CND Wildfire Shellac in the music video for Eminem’s ‘I Love The Way You Lie’.” In Milan last week, Rihanna was treated by CND VIP manicurist for Milan’s Ladybird House Flavia Pitton, who used CND Retention+ Liquid and CND Retention+ Powder to build a strong base before topping it off with a jet-black colour called Black Pool. The manicurist told Us Weekly magazine: “”I love the easy application and the ‘just like polish’ appeal that make CND Shellac’d nails always so chic, even when you go for a trendy design.” Rihanna takes her beauty regime seriously and even had a 2am emergency bikini wax earlier this year when shooting a music video in Belfast, Northern Ireland. A source said: “Rihanna arrived at her hotel very late and the first thing she wanted was a bikini wax. The video shoot was scheduled for the following morning so she didn’t have much time. Her assistants got on the case quickly and called some beauticians after finding a directory on the web. It was relief all round when they finally managed to find someone.”
