It has been a little over a month since Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty make up and skin care range launched in Africa and we’re thrilled to announce that it DID NOT disappoint. After making global news as the first make up brand to have 50 shades of foundations, it was bound to become a fan favourite in Africa where many of us still struggle to find shades beyond ”mocha” with most popular make up brands. With a month in, many of us have gotten the chance to gather the little coins we have and purchase a few items to try out. And judging by the reviews, Fenty Beauty products are, as the cool kids say, giving what they’re supposed to give. We’re all loving the products and maybe some more than most. But if you’re still on the fence about which products to try out, we’ve put together an easy-to-follow list of fan favourites across skin type and skin tone.

1. Gloss Bomb Heat Universal Luminiser + Plumper

This gloss first debuted by queen Riri herself remains a fan favourite. It is a universal lip luminiser, meaning it is made to look BOMB on each and everyone regardless of tone or lip shape. It delivers an explosive shine and it’s flattering on everyone. It’s formula is non-sticky (sticky lipglosses are an abomination in 2022) and gives a subtle plumped up look to your lips. It is, as many claim, the perfect gloss!

2. Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Lingwear Foundation

Pro Filtr Soft Matte Longwear Foundation from Fenty Beauty is its flagship product with 50 shades on rotatio, so you’re bound to find your perfect shade without having to mix two/three shades of foundations. It has an oil free formula allowing it to give you a flawless finish. It fill up pores without clogging them.

3. Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint

This is by far the most popular new product on the favs list. It’s a BB cream in a Gucci belt. It comes in all skin tones and is easy-to-apply for those on-the-go days. It’s great for a natural finish for those who don’t like foundation or those with mature skin. It quickly visibly evens giving you that blurred-out effect we all gun for. As a final bonus, it is sweat and transfer resistant.

4. All Four One 4-Piece AM + PM Skincare Set

Although a little bit on the pricey side, fans of this set say it is worth each and every cent. Your morning and night skincare routine are sorted and 98% of users say they see visible results within two weeks. For late nights and early mornings: This set brings you full-size Fenty Skin AM + PM skincare bundle, at a value. Cleanse, tone and moisturise day and night, to brighten, snatch pores and dark spots, target fine lines and wrinkles, and reduce the look of dark circles and puffiness.

5. Trophy Wife Highlighter

If you’re one of those who think highlighters are sooo 2015, then think again. A highlighter that works and looks glorious on all skin types should already reveal that this is no ordinary highlighter. Because it’s a cream-powder hybrid, it melts into your skin giving you a supercharged glow instead of that harsh striking shine of powder-only highlighters. Like many of Fenty’s products, it has more than one purpose, it doubles up as eye shimmer and collar bone luminator.

6. Blush

This blush comes in ten shades and allows you to kill two birds with one stone – blush/bronze and highlight. This beaut blesses your skin with that freshly-sun-kissed cheeks glow. It’s formula is designed to be buildable so you don’t have to worry about overdoing it. It blends out like a dream as well, something we all want in all our cream/powder products – nothing to disturb or move our foundations etc.

7. Match Stix Contour Stick

This contour stick which comes in just as many shades, is perfect for targeted application which is exactly what you want when you are contouring. It has the perfect cream to powder ratio ensuring there is less creasing and/or cracking.
