The pop singer who has been said to look like Rihanna, has worked with cosmetics giant Rimmel and also fronted campaigns for DKNY, Roberto Cavalli, Coca-Cola and more.
She, however, revealed that she hasn’t always been comfortable in her skin and wears her signature bold red lipstick for ‘confidence’.
Speaking on how comfortable she was then and is now about her face and body, Rita had this to say:
“No I wasn’t. It’s a great facade, It’s a whole
character of mine. I matured much earlier when I was growing up. I
started my period when I was, like 13. I started to get breasts and a
butt way younger than other kids. I went to musical theater school where
we would wear leotards for dance classes, so you couldn’t really hide
anything. I used to get bullied for it. And then at 16, when peoples’
hormones started kicking in, I was all hot again. I think it definitely
was a crazy teenage confusion for me. Meeting my fans now they’re like,
“Thank you so much for being so comfortable in your skin.” I think they
are more grateful for that than for anything. It’s important for
someone’s state of mind to feel comfortable instead of feeling like they
have to fit in all the time“
She also explained why she rocks signature red lips and never nude or softer shades:
“My personal favorite is red, but a lot of people
have told me that the nudes and the browns suit me more. Recently I’ve
been definitely a bit more comfortable with it. We shot Elle Canada the
cover yesterday, and it’s my second nude [makeup] cover, which is a bit
crazy, but it looks really cool. I think it was definitely a confidence
mask starting out, but now I’m getting into it and really understanding
it. I’m starting to experiment more, especially with my eye makeup“.
