A mother, songwriter, singer and entrepreneur named Rihanna created an amazing foundation that inspired the world. When Rihanna launched Fenty Beauty in 2017, the beauty industry was turned upside down. Finally, there was a brand that celebrated inclusivity and diversity in its makeup offerings. Fentys Beautys foundation shades, in particular, caused a stir with its groundbreaking range of 40 shades, catering to a wide range of skin tones. Before Fenty Beauty’s launch, it was common for makeup brands to offer limited foundation shade ranges, leaving many people with darker skin tones struggling to find their shade match.

This meant that for the first time, people with a wider range of skin tones could find a match for their tone perfectly.

In fact, her brand’s slogan is “Beauty for All”. Rihanna herself states “Makeup is something to have fun with and women everywhere should feel included.”

          Fenty’s Beauty has been so successful that they have influenced other makeup brands to expand their shade ranges as well. Makeup brands such as Huda Beauty, launched its faux filter foundation range with 40 shades and Estee Lauder’s expanded their foundation shade range to 56 shades. It’s clear Fenty Beauty’ impact on the beauty industry has been significant and long-lasting.

        In conclusion, Fenty Beauty’s foundation shades have been a game-changer in the beauty industry.

Fenty Beauty’s commitment to creating products that work for everyone is an inspiration to other makeup brands, and it’s exciting to see how the industry will continue to evolve in the years to come.
