All eyes on the bad gal! Rihanna’s makeup artist Priscilla Ono wants the singer to shine bright like a diamond during her Super Bowl LVII halftime show.  “It’s a super iconic moment,” Ono, 38 — who also works as the Global Makeup Artist for Fenty Beauty — told Us Weekly exclusively ahead of the big game on Sunday, February 12. “As I thought about her glam, I knew I wanted to create something that is timeless, something we’ll all look back at and be like, ‘Wow, that makeup would look good in any era, in any year.’ I don’t want anything too trendy, so that’s really what I have in my mind about the look I’m going to do.”  Gearing up for the beat required a lot of preparation, Ono shared. “It takes weeks … at least like two to three weeks to prepare.

I’m around for all of the creative processes because it gets my wheels turning, and it helps me to start thinking about the look.

I’m watching the rehearsals. I’m looking at the lighting. I’m peaking at the wardrobe.” The beauty guru continued: “The glam has always been the finishing touch.”    Ono explained that during the last week of rehearsals she pitched “ideas for makeup and even for hair.” She shared that Rihanna is actively involved in the glam process as the “Umbrella” artist, 34, is “very into what her makeup looks like with her hair.”  “It’s really fun to experience and be able to prepare for something like this.

I’m really proud of her. I feel like a proud mom,” Ono told Us. In order to view the video, please allow Manage Cookies The California native has been by Rihanna’s side for many of her big moments, including her appearance at the 80th Golden Globes last month.
