Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty has totally set itself apart from other celebrity makeup lines on the market.

The bold new products finally debuted Thursday, Sept. 7, after two years in development and Rih Rih promises the products work on every shade of nude.

“For the gloss, I wanted a color that would work well on all skin tones,” she told Refinery29 of the lip gloss. “And, you know, it might’ve been a challenge, but I was up for it. It took a while, and we had to switch things up to get the right texture, the right smell even. We came to this perfect, rosy-nude that had a little bit of shimmer. It gives you something, but it doesn’t look like you’re doing the most. We’ll do that later.”

The gloss is the only lip product in the line and is available at Sephora and online for $18. In the promo, it can be seen on models with darker skin (Duckie Thot) and lighter skin (Camila Costa) and all the ladies look undeniably fierce in it.

While the lip gloss is certainly poppin’, Rihanna devoted the bulk of her energy to the foundation line. Available in 40 shades, the liquid matte foundation provides medium-to-full coverage and a natural look.

“I … wanted things that girls of all skin tones could fall in love with,” Rihanna said. “That was really important for me. In every product, I was like, ‘There needs to be something for a dark-skinned girl; there needs to be something for a really pale girl; there needs to be something in between.’ There’s red undertones, green undertones, blue undertones, pink undertones, yellow undertones — you never know, so you want people to appreciate the product and not feel like, ‘Oh that’s cute, but it only looks good on her.”

Rihanna’s passion for inclusive products extends throughout the line. The singer’s collection, which includes highlighters, concealers and primers, also zeroed in on skin tones that are usually hard to match.

Fans have been rejoicing since Fenty Beauty’s launch.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
