Rihanna has been called an “icon” for one small moment during her Super Bowl halftime show performance.
For the show, the singer delivered a medley of songs including “Umbrella”, “Work” and “All of the Lights”, and has been widely praised by her fans for her efforts.
Considering the singer was performing on one of the biggest stages there is, she also conveniently found time to fix her make-up during the performance – using her own brand Fenty Beauty.
Rihanna’s fans couldn’t blame the singer for wanting to use the opportunity to plug her business, with one viewer calling it: “The best commercial in this entire Super Bowl.”
