Rihanna, the Bajan princess, style queen, bad-gal savior, rude-boy slayer and overall goddess, has found favor on the good people of Earth once again and is blessing us with yet another of her many gifts: beauty.
Yes, friends, Rihanna, the one and only, has conjured up the secrets to her fountain of beauty and is graciously sharing them with each and every one of us—well, the ones of us who live in the 150 countries where her latest business venture, Fenty Beauty, is set to launch.
The "Wild Thoughts" singer has been teasing fans on social media with sneak peeks of her new makeup collection since August 1. The brand features 91 products, according to Vanity Fair, including 40 foundation shades, highlighters, concealing-and-correcting sticks, makeup brushes in different shapes and sizes, blotting papers and powders, and one single lip gloss (which will probably be sold out by the time you read this article).
While most of us will never achieve Rihanna's red-carpet-glow status, the 29-year-old is at least giving us a shot at imitating her with Fenty Beauty matte and shimmer Match Stix, used for contouring, concealing and highlighting. The collection also will feature Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter compacts, so beauty lovers can achieve that on-the-go shine Rihanna's just so damn good at.
What may be the best part of Fenty Beauty is the price tag. The lightweight, "100% cruelty-free" products—meaning no wildlife was harmed to help fans achieve their Rihanna beauty goals—range from $25 to $34, while Match Stix trio sets and customizable trio sets are priced at $54. The Gloss Bomb universal lip luminizer is just $18, and makeup tools cost between $16 and $34.
The brand debuted online for purchase at midnight on Friday; the official global launch is set for 7:15 p.m. ET, during which Rihanna is expected to celebrate her new beauty collection with a fancy soirée in Brooklyn.
Products can be purchased on Fenty Beauty's official website and at Sephora locations across the globe and online. Fenty Beauty is also being sold at Harvey Nichols stores in Ireland and the U.K.
