From Women's Health

  • Rihanna posted a no-makeup photo to Instagram as her first selfie of 2020.

  • The singer has a visible blemish on her cheek, and one commenter asked to pop her pimple.

  • Rihanna clapped back with a hilarious response, and fans also came to her defense, praising her pimple.


Rihanna just posted her first selfie of the decade. To mark the beginning of the era, the singer and Fenty Beauty founder chose a makeup-free pic. Yep, she has 50 plus shades of foundation in her line, but not a drop of any of them is on her face.

While 99.999 % of Rihanna's complexion is seriously glowing and totally flawless, there is one red pimple near her jawline. (Talk about keeping it real.)

The blemish didn't go unnoticed. One confident commenter wrote: "Let me pop your pimple." Ummm, who does he think he is Dr. Pimple Popper?

Not to worry, Rihanna shut it down with a hilarious response: "let her have her shine, PLEASE." That started a stream of pro pimple compliments in the comments.

One fan wrote: "WE STAN YOUR PIMPLE" and "even riri's pimple has unmatched power." It's true—the one teeny, tiny pimple did cause quite the uproar in the comments, so... unmatched power indeed.

Another follower shared, "love that you posted this pic! Natural Beauty pimples n all ❤️❤️"

Turns out, Rihanna's skin care routine is just as relatable as her pimple pic. "When I feel like my skin has had it, I cut all the alcohol completely and overdo the water," she told Elle in an interview. If that doesn't do the trick, then she has a quick and easy makeup trick: "Mix moisturizer and a drop of foundation. That, some mascara, lipstick, and you're good. And fix those brows."
