- As a beauty reporter, I’ve tried every product in Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty line.
- I loved products like the Match Stix Contour Skinsticks and Bright Fix eye brightener.
- I wouldn’t recommend Fenty Beauty’s Pro Filt’r soft-matte longwear foundation or Stunna Lip Paints.
For the past seven years, Fenty Beauty by Rihanna has stood the test of time — a rarity among celebrity beauty brands.
The musician launched Fenty Beauty in 2017 and, according to Vogue, it had $100 million in sales within 40 days of its launch. Forbes estimated in 2021 that the brand was worth $2.8 billion.
Even now, I find it hard hard to scroll through TikTok without stumbling upon an influencer raving about Fenty Beauty’s latest product. Although I agree many of them are pretty great, not all of them live up to the hype.
As a beauty reporter, I’ve tested every type of Fenty Beauty product. A few have become staples in my makeup bag, but others were a hard pass.
Here are some that impressed me and a few that didn’t.
