Trained make-up artist Kristina already does her own make-up for all public appearances other than on Strictly Come Dancing, and her collection - launched in collaboration with MeMeMe Cosmetics - comes complete with all her glamour essentials.
Along with a deep garnet-coloured nail polish and lipgloss, the Kristina Rihanoff Essentials Collection, £26, also contains an eyeshadow quad in chic taupes and bronze tones, a bronze shimmer stack and a bottle of gold tinted highlighter.
Strictly stunning: Kristina Rihanoff's new make-up range includes everything you need for a glam night out
'Ever since I first discovered the MeMeMe range I’ve been a huge fan,' says Kristina. 'I love their colours and innovative beauty launches each season and I really love the multipurpose design that goes into each product - perfect for busy women on the go.
'Being empowered and feeling great through the application of make-up is something that’s true to my heart and I feel we have created a collection of handbag essentials suitable for any lady looking for a bit of glitz and glam in their lives this party season.'
Although this is her first make-up collection, the ballroom dancer is no stranger to the camera and has previously fronted campaigns for underwear boutique La Senza and for breast cancer awareness charity Coppafeel!.
Essentials: The limited edition set contains gloss, nail polish, eyeshadow, bronzer and highlighter
The 34-year-old, who recently split from Strictly Come Dancing co-star Joe Calzaghe, posed in a hot pink Panache sports bra and knickers for the CoppaFeel! campaign - showing off her sensational curves in the process.
Explaining how she keeps her body toned and trim, Kristina told MailOnline: 'Obviously with all the dancing I keep very fit but in my free time I do Bikram yoga, I love it.
'It is difficult but it is such a great feeling. When you come out you feel like you're flying and it is great for concentration.'
Although she's yet to meet her Olympian co-star, Victoria Pendleton, the dancer has been getting to grips with her new partner for the upcoming series of Strictly: actor Colin Salmon.
'It has been interesting, it is going well but of course he is a beginner. He is a wonderful person, he is working hard and he is a true English gentleman,' she said of Salmon, before adding: 'I want him to do well.'
