While back home in Barbados, Rihanna hit up a charity event today with the kiddies.  Check the pics inside, plus her new gig as the face of MAC Viva Glam's charity line...

Bajan beauty RiRi kept it laid back and chic as she attended a charity event today in Barbados. She kicked it with the kiddies who were taking part in the Dance 4 Life charity day, an initiative to help inspire and mobilize young people to help stop the spread of HIV/AIDS.

The "Pour It Up" singer rocked a belted black jacket and black pencil skirt and sandals to laugh it up and make an appearance for a cause:

Pretty.  Rih also was set to perform for her native island over the weekend (but it was postponed until next year) and is taking a bit of a break from her Diamonds World Tour.

Meanwhile, she's got a new deal in the works.  And it's MAC's Viva Glam's line for charity.  MAC Cosmetics liked so much what Ri's been doing with all her other MAC lines that they named the pop princess the new face of the 2014 Viva Glam Campaign.  She said about the new gig:

Mama, Ima #VIVAGLAM girl!!!! Super thrilled to be teaming up with @MACcosmetics for charity! #VIVAGLAM more lipstick, more lives impacted!

Proceeds from the sales of Viva Glam products go to help women, men and children living with and affected by HIV and AIDS.
