I don’t know about you, but if I can’t be surrounded by Rihanna’s actual presence, I most definitely want to be surrounded by her beauty presence. And luckily for me, the star has her best-selling brands Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin to help me satisfy the craving.
It’s no secret that some of the most beloved makeup and skincare staples on the market right now come courtesy of RiRi, but if for some reason you’ve been holding back on trying (or even just restocking) all of the Fenty cult favorites, I have some amazing news for you. Fenty’s Fam Sale is kicking off on March 25 and will last through March 28. You’ll get 25% off sitewide, shipping is free, and no code is needed. We always have your back in the shopping department, so keep scrolling for 17 editor-approved products we’d recommend snapping up first.
When Fenty Skin first launched, the line debuted with a cleanser, a toner/serum hybrid, and a moisturizer/SPF hybrid. So, yes, this makeup-removing cleanser is one of the OGs! It’s now available in a fragrance-free version, but I personally love the yummy, semi-sweet scent, which is Rihanna’s signature—a juicy blend of cherry and coconut. The formula won’t strip your skin, and it’s also oil-free and noncomedogenic, so it won’t clog your pores (a sneaky downside to many cleansers on the market today!). Honestly, this is one of my favorite cleansers of all time, and if you’re looking to revamp your basics, I can’t recommend Fenty Skin enough.
Also available in a fragrance-free formula, this pore-minimizing toner serum is a fan favorite among Fenty Beauty stans and editors. And if you want to streamline the steps in your skincare routine, you’re looking at the ultimate product for doing so. This toner has a thick, serum-like consistency (hence the name) that works the trademark wonders of both a toner and a serum—i.e., diminishing and tightening up the look of pores, fading stubborn dark spots, banishing excess oil, and bestowing an extra hit of brightness to a lackluster complexion.
I have to be completely honest with you—this is my absolute favorite product from the Fenty Skincare clan, and I kid you not, it will make your skin look unreal and is an absolute dream underneath your makeup. Buy it fragrance-free or regular (I like the latter) and enjoy all of the perks such as sun protection (thanks to SPF 30); lightweight, oil-free hydration; and a smooth, soft, radiant, practically airbrushed-looking end result.
If you’re a body-butter fiend like me, you really haven’t lived until you’ve gotten your hands (and limbs) on RiRi’s delicious whipped concoction. Of course, it smells and feels decadent AF thanks to seven (yes, seven) luxurious tropical oils plus a spoonful of shea butter, mango butter, and glycerin for good measure. All of which plump, hydrate, and elevate dull skin with the most photogenic glossy sheen.
While you’ll definitely want to reserve the Hydra Vizor for daytime, this is the Fenty Skin elixir you’ll want to keep stocked in your evening arsenal. It’s a breathable, lightweight gel-cream specifically designed to hydrate, obvi, but also brighten, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and even snatch the look of enlarged pores or hard-to-nix dark spots and discoloration.
Anyone who wants smoother, brighter-looking skin needs to have some kind of potent (but not too potent) exfoliating formula in the mix, and this 10% AHA option is Rihanna’s personal secret weapon. In one fell swoop, it brightens, smooths, and refines the look of pores and skin texture thanks to the genius melding of the aforementioned alpha hydroxy acids plus other key hitters like rooibos and fruit enzymes and extracts. Trust—your skin will lap it up. (Oh, and it scores even more brownie points for coming with a handy, reusable applicator.)
I don’t know about you, but dry, scale-prone hands aren’t a winter-only skin situation for me. I’m obsessed with this dreamy hand mask treatment, which, when you apply at night, allows you to wake up with insanely smooth, silky, drop-dead moisturized hands. I don’t care what time of year it is, you need this act of self-care in your life!
There are two different camps in this world: those who love primers and those who, well, really don’t. I happen to fall in the former camp, but I’m convinced this retouching-esque formula is so good it would convince every last member of the latter to convert. It’s great for all skin types—from dry to oily—and instantly diffuses the look of pores and curbs excess shine.
Once you try this best-selling foundation, you’ll wonder why you spent so much time wearing anything else. It comes in an industry-topping shade range (50, to be exact!) and boasts buildable, medium-to-full coverage that offers a flattering matte finish that never reads too dry or chalky. It’s oil-free, featherlight (you’ll forget you’re wearing anything!), and it stays put all day, night, or both.
However, if you want a lighter hand of coverage, I highly recommend this flexible blurring tint—another top-selling complexion favorite from Fenty.
If Fenty’s Universal Gloss Bomb had been around in the early aughts, I’m entirely convinced it would have been the star S/O in Lil Mama’s hit song “Lip Gloss.” It’s just so damn good! The colors are divine, it smells good enough to eat (like peaches and cream) and, fair warning, you’ll want every single gorgeous shade. The shine factor is off the charts, and it’s also super moisturizing so you’re never left with sticky chapped lips. (I know you know the feeling!) I’m really big into lip-plumping formulas, so I also keep the Heat version on constant standby as well.
Fenty Beauty just launched this semi-matte, refillable lipstick, so I would be completely remiss if I didn’t point out to you just how fabulous there are. The long-wearing texture is creamy and lightweight, and the 10-shade lineup was specially curated by Rihanna, featuring wearable reds and neutrals.
Conversely, if you’re really looking for a statement-lip moment, I’d reach for the Stunna Lip Paint instead. The shades are bold, rich, and head-turning, and the matte, liquid lipstick formula ensures a plush yet completely budge-proof wear for hours on end. The rich burgundy shade Underdawg is a personal addiction.
Fenty Beauty’s Match Stix Contour Skinsticks are basically legendary, and if you need to restock or have been itching to try the magic for yourself, I highly recommend springing *now* while you can score 25% off.
I’m not shy when it comes to my love for highlighters. TBH, I can’t imagine leaving the house without it. That said, when it comes to the specific highlighters I use and wear, I’m insufferably picky. I do tend to gravitate toward powder highlighters, but there’s a careful line that must be toed when it comes to ratio and sparkle—this one covers all of the bases and then some. The two-part compacts feature a lightweight, long-wearing cream-powder hybrid that range in boldness depending on the hues you choose and how heavy-handed you are with application. They’re super versatile and an item you’ll absolutely never regret once you’ve experienced them in all their glory.
If you struggle with your cat-eye and/or liquid liner skills, trust me when I say it’s your liner, not you! I’m a fan of Fenty’s best-selling pen, and I’m convinced it’s one of the friendliest options on the market for those of us who aren’t professional makeup artists. (Even though professional makeup artists are fans too!) It’s water-resistant and has a unique flex tip, and the pen itself has an easy-to-grip triangle shape that makes your liner execution practically effortless.
Sun-kissed-skin season is just around the corner, so it’s only natural that you’d add this editor-beloved bronzer to your sale-stocked shopping cart. It’s long-wear and transfer-resistant (so you don’t have to worry about it getting all over your white tee or bathing suit), and the shade range is curated to flatter and enhance all skin tones.
