I can still clearly recall where I was when Sephora announced it would introduce Rihanna’s cosmetics brand, Fenty Beauty products, much as we all remember where we were when Jennifer and Brad split up when Netflix said it would air four new episodes of Gilmore Girls, or when Beyoncé released Lemonade. I briskly entered Sephora after watching hundreds of Fenty Beauty reviews, noting that the Fenty section resembled a Toys R Us during Black Friday in the 2000s. People were still lined up to examine the goods and try them out on their hands even though “Sold Out” was covering half of the items in the gondola (ah, those were the days).
Since those distressing days in September 2017, Fenty Beauty has developed into one of the largest companies in the beauty sector with a comprehensive range of goods spanning every category and even venturing into skin and body care.
Fenty Beauty now sells products in a variety of different countries across the world. It is difficult to know where to begin, what will work for you, and what is genuinely worth the money due to the fact that the line is so extensive and comprises a few things for each category. Our team is dissecting the cream of the crop at this point. More information about the company and the items that we have tested ourselves may be found as follows:
About Fenty Beauty Brand
Rihanna, a famous singer as well as a philanthropist, an icon in the world of beauty and fashion, founded Fenty Beauty out of her passion for utilising makeup as a form of self-expression. It is clear that she wanted everyone to feel included in her line since the company made history by beginning with a foundation shade range of 40 different hues (isn’t it crazy to think that this wasn’t the standard before Fenty?). She also wanted everyone to feel comfortable purchasing her products.
However, inclusion is more than just offering a wide range of hues for Fenty Beauty. Rihanna’s goal was to develop a brand that would be suitable for a variety of different people, including those with varying undertones, skin kinds, skin issues, and cosmetic application preferences. It is possible for a makeup artist who specialises in full-glam looks as well as someone who just applies a few coats of mascara and dashes of eyeliner before a major meeting every Monday to discover goods that they like.
Because animal research is permitted in mainland China, Fenty Beauty does not sell its products there and is thus cruelty-free. However, its parent business, Kendo, is owned by LVMH, which is not against the use of animal testing in any of its products and does not consider itself to be cruelty-free. Although Fenty Beauty does not consider itself to be a vegan business, several of its products, including Fenty Skin in its entirety, are vegan.
16 Best Fenty Beauty Products
1. Soft Matte Longwear Liquid Foundation
In the years leading up to my first experience with the Fenty Beauty Matte Foundation, I was a CC cream devotee. I used to believe that foundations, particularly matte varieties, were cakey, difficult to blend, and just not worth the effort that they required. Everything I thought I understood about the foundation before trying them, Fenty Beauty Foundation was totally and utterly demolishing.
This is the only product I’ve tried that controls the oiliness of my skin without leaving it feeling and looking as parched as the Sahara Desert during a drought. My skin tends to become oily, and this is the only thing I’ve found that works. Despite the fact that it provides noticeably more coverage than a skin tint or cream, it is still buildable and manages to keep its featherweight feel regardless of how much product I apply.
But what exactly makes this product so well-known? The longevity of it. When used in conjunction with the Fenty Beauty primer, this foundation has the ability to maintain its flawless appearance throughout the day. The fact that all of these things are true, in addition to the amazing colour range, makes it a no-brainer to purchase the Fenty Beauty Matte Foundation.
2. Hydrating Foundation Designed to Last All Day
Back in the day, when the first iteration of the Fenty Beauty matte foundation was introduced, I was obsessed with the idea of dousing my face in a glowy, dewy deliciousness. On the day that this was released, I specifically recall rushing to the closest Sephora.
It has medium coverage and a beautiful glowy finish. Yet it applies really lightly to my skin and doesn’t feel heavy at all. Dewy foundations aren’t my favourite since I find them sticky and difficult to apply with a mask, but I still pick this up often when I want my face to appear radiant (particularly when my skin has a hard time creating the same glow on its own). I feel that it makes my skin seem healthy and luminous.
3. Blurring Skin Tint
I’ve always been the kind of person who loves a base product that is more on the sheer side. And so when Fenty Beauty came out with Eaze Drop, I purchased it the very first day it was available, and I’ve been in love with it ever since. Despite the fact that this product provides very light coverage, it is nevertheless sufficient to hide redness and flaws. The blurring effect of this skin tint, however, is what sets it apart from others on the market.
When I put this on, it feels and appears like there is a filter on my skin. And it gives the appearance that my pores have been entirely eliminated. Because this product has a natural finish and is nourishing. I believe that those with skin that is either very dry like mine or as oily as it is possible to get would like using it. I have very dry skin.
In addition to this, I get the impression that it lasts far longer than the typical skin tint; I may apply it in the morning before going to work, and it will still be there when I return home in the evening. I have used quite a few different skin tints, but this one is, without a doubt, my favourite.
4. Soft Matte Longwear Powder Foundation
It was this product that opened my eyes to the possibility that I may like using powder foundation. With only a few sweeps of the cream, it gives the appearance that my skin is totally perfect. Even though it has a decent medium to buildable full coverage. It applies the fastest of any foundation I’ve tried and feels the lightest on the skin. When I want heavier coverage, I use the puff that comes with it, but if I want something more sheer. I use a brush with a lot of fluff.
5. Instant Retouch Setting Powder
This is without a doubt my favourite powder for setting, full stop. To fix my makeup in the specific parts of my face that need it (such as the region around my nose and under my eyes). I use a concealer brush that is very tiny and fluffy. It minimises the appearance of my pores and the fine wrinkles that are present beneath my eyes without making my face seem cakey or feeling thick. I also really like that it is available in a variety of colours to choose from. The banana tone is quite illuminating to the area around the eyes.
6. Instant Retouch Longwear Liquid Concealer
I have experimented with many other concealers. And I have to say that of all of them, this one is the one that leaves the lightest feeling on my face. It doesn’t take much of this concealer for me to see a change in how well it brightens the area under my eyes when I use it. This is one of the things I like most about Fenty Beauty products in general. As a result, the concealer has lasted me such a long time. In addition, I like having the ability to build it up if I want to ensure that I have complete coverage.
7. Eye Brightener Concealer
My pattern of sleep over the last year has been almost non-existent. This is concerning given that I am no longer a young adult of 21. I can’t simply sleep for three hours and expect to function normally the following day. Just as my under-eye bags and dark circles were starting to get the better of me, Rihanna came out with this product.
Because of its low weight and moderate coverage. This concealer won’t be able to hide even the most heinous crimes. So you’ll need to adjust your expectations accordingly. But what I really like about it is the way that it brightens up the area beneath my eyes. Because it reflects light, it makes my under-eye bags and dark circles seem less noticeable. And I don’t even have to pour on a lot of makeup to get this effect. It’s a stroke of brilliance on their part.
8. Freestyle Cream Bronzer
I have experimented with a large number of beauty products throughout the course of my life. But it is quite uncommon that I really use up a whole product. Before I get uninteresting in it and switch to a different one. However, this cream bronzer by Fenty Beauty is one of the few cosmetic items. Which I have truly used up to the very last bit and plan to continue to buy in the future.
It is quite easy to blend and creates a look that is natural yet contour. Both of which I frequently get comments on. When people compliment the way that my makeup looks. I always point them in the direction of this bronzer as the reason why.
9. Freestyle Cream Blush
I am a blush addict, and since cream blushes have become popular. I’ve jumped on the bandwagon and tried every single one I could get my hands on. I am a blush junkie. Even though almost every cosmetics company including Fenty Beauty has introduced a cream blush by this time. This particular product is still considering to be among the finest available.
Your cheeks will have a natural-looking wash of colour that you may build up to your desired intensity using this product. The colours seem to be incredibly vibrant in the pan. But it is absolutely impossible to apply too much of any of them. So, they will always end up giving your cheeks the ideal amount of colour. In spite of the fact that I keep adding more blushes to my collection. I find that I always go back to them. And I find it hard to believe that anybody wouldn’t like using these.
10. Instant Warmth Bronzer
Even though it’s been years since it was released, this product is still a staple in my weekly bronzer rotation. Considering that I test beauty products as part of my job, this should tell you something about the quality of the product. I refrain from getting this product when it was initially introducing.
This is the kind of bronzer that doesn’t even seem like it’s on your skin when you use it. It makes any products I use below it whether it’s the entire nine yards or just my SPF seem like. They were meant to be used together, giving the appearance that I have a natural, golden tan. It’s all in your head.
11. Matte Contour Skinstick
When it comes to contouring, the capacity of a product to be blended in seamlessly is the quality that I prioritise the most. I like how smoothly this contour stick applies to the skin. And how easily it can be built up to provide complete coverage. This product, together with the Pro Filt’r Concealer, is my go-to dynamic duo that keeps working for me throughout the day.
Even on the days when I don’t feel like putting on a full face of makeup. I believe that this is the ideal product for those who are just starting out with contouring. Since it is quite simple to use. The hues are more on the cool side and offer a more natural appearance. And it lasts for a significant amount of time.
12. Full Frontal Volume, Lift & Curl Mascara
Most mascaras can’t do it all. Either they add volume but do not add length, or they add length but do not add volume. It’s not easy to find a mascara that meets all of Goldilocks’ requirements, but this one comes very close. The curling and separating wand makes it possible for you to get a dramatic look without making it so extreme that you couldn’t wear it on a daily basis. My eyelashes seem to be quite long, devoid of any clumps, and rather plump.
13. Snap Shadows Mix & Match Eyeshadow Palette
When Fenty Beauty made its first foray into eyeshadows. I was ecstatic, particularly since the eyeshadows were packaged in these portable palettes that told a clear colour story. There is a particular sparkly colour in each palette that transforms your appearance from day to night in one sweep. The mattes may be blended, and the shimmers have a reflective sheen.
14. Ultra Fine Brow Pencil & Styler
I just don’t see the point in spending a lot of money on brow pencils. You can get pencils that are paper-thin and waxy at the pharmacy for a fraction of the price. Why go all out? But Fenty Beauty‘s, with its amazing shade range, fine tip, and one-of-a-kind brush to smooth it out rather than a spoolie, has converted me into a believer. There is no other brow cream that comes in a colour that complements my brows as well as this one does. Try this out if you’re having trouble settling on the ideal shade for your brows.
15. Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer
Although I haven’t tried as many items from the Fenty Beauty collection as I would want to. I knew that as soon as the Gloss Bomb was out. I had to have it! When I initially got my hands on this product and after discovering what works best for me and my routine. I felt like I was in motion.
I should clarify that I am in no way a fan of lipstick or a lip gloss in any way, shape, or form. When I combine my go-to lip liner with this product. I get the right amount of shimmer for a night out on the town. On top of that, this does not feel as sticky or thick as other glosses on the market; it is the ideal combination of moisturising and shimmer without any of the disadvantages associated with gloss.
16. Longwear Fluid Lip Color
The recipe for the Fenty Beauty Lip Paint is absolutely deserving of a score of ten out of ten! Because matte lip creams tend to cause my lips to dry out. I usually have a lot of anxiety about using them. But this one lasts all day and doesn’t feel heavy or uncomfortable on my lips at all. Underdawg is a shade of deep burgundy that I own. And it’s been my go-to shade during the cooler months of the year. It may take some practise to get accustomed to the applicator.
But once you do, you’ll find that it’s quite useful for accurately outlining your lips. And you won’t need to make numerous passes on your lips to get the colour to apply evenly.
