01 / THE BUSINESS IN FOCUS

A product brief centred on representation

Fenty Beauty launched in 2017 with Rihanna as its founder. Its initial foundation range made skin-tone representation part of the actual product offering. The official brand account connects that decision with gaps Rihanna saw in the beauty industry.

02 / THE BUSINESS IN FOCUS

A catalogue beyond the first launch

The business expanded into other makeup categories while keeping complexion central to its identity. Product development, packaging and distribution support the catalogue, alongside the founder's visibility and the demonstrations published through the brand's channels.

03 / THE BUSINESS IN FOCUS

One brand within a wider Fenty world

The official site also introduces Fenty Skin, Fenty Hair and fragrance. These related identities broaden the beauty offering, while Savage X Fenty belongs to a different consumer category. This portrait focuses on Fenty Beauty's cosmetics business rather than combining every venture associated with Rihanna into one company.
