The line focuses on a wide range of traditionally hard-to-match skin tones, developing formulas that work for all skin-types, and targeting universal shades. With such diverse intentions, Rihanna works to remind women everywhere that makeup is there for us to have fun with, not to feel pressured, not to complete a uniformed look, but to take chances, risks and dare to create something new and unique.

Stocked with 40 shades of foundation, 30 contour/highlighting sticks and a campaign featuring a diverse set of models to challenge the lack of representation of women of color in the make up industry. Women of color have often been left with few options in regards to shades of foundations etc… While most advertisements and campaigns typically ignore the idea of using women of color entirely. As a woman of color, I’ve experienced the difficulty finding a color that blends well with the skin tone. After using Fenty, I felt a confidence that I haven’t felt in years. There was no longer any reason to feel self-conscious about how well my makeup was blended. Fenty’s longer foundation is seriously like second skin!
