HELLO! Where the heck have you been? Meaning, if you read the title of this post and were completely lost, then you must have been living under a rock for the past two weeks!!
“Before she was BadGalRiRi: music, fashion and beauty icon, Robyn Rihanna Fenty was a little girl in Barbados transfixed by her mother’s lipstick. The first time she experienced makeup for herself, she never looked back. Makeup became her weapon of choice for self-expression—a way to radiate her ever-changing mood—and it powered a fearless take on beauty that helped her become the boundary-breaking icon she is today.
Rihanna was inspired to create Fenty Beauty after years of experimenting with the best-of-the-best in beauty—and still seeing a void in the industry for products that performed across all skin types and tones. She launched a makeup line “so that women everywhere would be included,” focusing on a wide range of traditionally hard-to-match skin tones, creating formulas that work for all skin types, and pinpointing universal shades.
Fenty Beauty products are designed to feel lightweight, even as they deliver buildable coverage that effortlessly layers, to ultimately “make skin look like skin.” Most importantly, Rihanna creates makeup to inspire: “Makeup is there for you to have fun with,” she says. “It should never feel like pressure. It should never feel like a uniform. Feel free to take chances, and take risks, and dare to do something new or different.”
So after stalking every website for the last couple of months and seeing the sneak peeks RiRi has been dropping about the launch of her new line, I HAD to get my hands on a few products to try out for myself. So the night of her launch on September 8th, 2017, I was up and on my phone ready to order at 3am EST to get my Fenty goodies! Luckily I was able to score the following products:
PRO FILT’R
Soft Matte Longwear Foundation
KILLAWATT
Freestyle Highlighter
GLOSS BOMB
Universal Lip Luminizer
As much as I would LOVE to tell you my thoughts on these products, I figured I would switch things up a bit and SHOW you exactly how I used these products! Check out my video below:
