Fenty Beauty, the make-up brand from Rihanna, was launched in September 2017. It has been praised for its inclusivity, especially in offering products for skin tones where previously there had been scant choice.
Fenty Beauty also broke down gender norms, with its products being accessible to men as well as women. One of its most high-profile advocates was Daniel Kaluuya, who wore shades 480 and 490 of the foundation when attending the 2018 Oscars, where he was nominated for Best Actor, with several media outlets commenting on how glowy his skin looked.
As I’ve discussed before on my blog, I have tended to be quite rigid in the make-up products that I use, with MAC constituting about 80% of my make-up collection.
But, following the positive word of mouth for Fenty Beauty (if it’s good enough for Danny Kaluuya, it has to be good enough for me!), along with the fact that I adore Rihanna’s music, I decided to see for myself, and treated myself to two products from the line: the blush and highlighter.
