On September 8, Rihanna released her long-awaited FENTY BEAUTY sold at Sephora. The collection features everything a girl could need to have a beat face. Products such as brushes, primers, lip glosses and highlighters, you name it and most likely it's there.
But what really has women talking is the fact that this collection was made with diversity in mind. The foundation comes in 40 shades allowing women to pick the shade that best suits their skin tone.
When creating this collection, you can tell that Rihanna thought about the fairest of skins and the darkest complexions when design this line. And I truly appreciate that.
I’m an African American woman and since I started wearing makeup it’s always been the struggle finding the perfect foundation. It’s either too light or too dark. As a result, I end up buying two different shades and mixing them to get my perfect complexion. The idea of being able to go into Sephora and test out more than two shades give me hope for the future.
It’s my hope that more beauty companies, especially drugstore brands follow her lead. And produce more shades for foundations and concealers, because everyone deserves to have a beat face in the right complexion.
Here are some thoughts I’ve probably had since FENTY BEAUTY dropped this past week.
1. Well, there goes my next paycheck.
2. There are so many foundation options, I don’t know where to start.
3. Stepping out of the house with FENTY BEAUTY on for the first time.
I love Rihanna and I can't wait to get my hands on her makeup collection.
