Fenty Beauty by singer Rihanna is a cosmetics brand launched in September 2017. Popular for its broad inclusivity across skin tones and gender, especially its Pro Filt'R foundation product produced in 40 different shades, Fenty Beauty was named one of Time magazine's best inventions of 2017.

Background[edit]

Singer Rihanna, born Robyn Rihanna Fenty, launched Fenty Beauty at 29 years old.[1] Previously she has collaborated with MAC Cosmetics,[2] as well as created fragrances,[3][4] but this was her first cosmetics line.

Fenty Beauty is produced by Kendo Holdings, Inc, a company that manufactures cosmetics for resale as white-label products.[5] The line's first products went on sale on September 8, 2017[6] in Sephora stores, on the Sephora website, and on Fenty Beauty's website. In the UK, Fenty Beauty is exclusive to Harvey Nichols.[7]

Fenty Beauty was created for the inclusion of all regardless of skin tone or gender.[8][9]

Products[edit]

Fenty Beauty products have drawn international praise for the range of shades offered,[10][11][12][13] in particular for including darker shades among the 40 different colors for its Pro Filt'R foundation, addressing a long-criticized gap in cosmetic industry offerings.[14][15] Subsequent launches of new products or new lines have been criticized for the failure to live up to the new standard set by Fenty Beauty, for instance Kim Kardashian West's line KKW Beauty,[16][17] Tarte's Tape Shape Foundation,[14] and Benefit's Hello Happy foundation.[18]

The line's Stunna Lip Paint, a red lipstick launched November 23, 2017 (Thanksgiving, just ahead of Black Friday sales),[19] also drew broad enthusiasm.[20][21][2][22][23]

On March 23, 2018, the line launched a limited-edition highlighter called Dirty Thirty for Rihanna's 30th birthday;[24] it is the line's popular Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter in Trophy Wife shade (metallic gold), packaged with XXX (the Roman numerals for 30) instead of the brand's FB logo.[25]

Financial[edit]

In the brand's first month, Fenty Beauty recorded $72.0 million in earned media value (a measure of marketing success),[26] ahead of other high-profile brands like including Kylie Cosmetics, Benefit, Urban Decay, KKW Beauty and NYX.[1]

Awards[edit]

Fenty Beauty was named to Time magazine's list of the 25 best inventions of 2017,[27] alongside products like Apple's iPhone X,[28] Nike's Pro Hijab,[29] and the Tesla Model 3.[30] Time cited Fenty Beauty's 40-shade range of foundations that quickly sold out.[31]
