Rihanna is set to launch Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin in Africa this May #FentyAfrica.

“I am a proud Bajan who also feels a strong connection to Africa and its people. I have had the pleasure and privilege of spending time on the continent and those experiences never leave you. Being able to bring Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin in eight African countries now, and hopefully more in the future— means a lot to me.” —Rihanna

When Rihanna launched Fenty Beauty in 2017 in an unprecedented 17 countries with a vision of inclusion and global reach at its heart, she sought to help “make everyone feel beautiful and recognized, no matter their race, ethnic origin, culture or personal style”. Rihanna was inspired to create Fenty Beauty after trying to find products that would work on all skin types and tones. With Rihanna’s mandate to include, Fenty Beauty offers a wide range of products for traditionally hard-to-match skin tones, creating formulas that work for all skin types and identifying universal shades.

Soon in 2020, Rihanna has launched her clean, vegan, and eco-friendly skincare line, Fenty Skin, furthering her unwavering mission to provide simple, effective beauty solutions for everyone. As a result, she started a beauty movement and a “community that supports and encourages each other”. Rihanna created both Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin with a global vision in mind to reinforce the notion of “beauty for all”. It’s this brand spirit that makes Rihanna’s decision to expand her Fenty brands in Africa such an important step and a natural next step.

“Each launch is exciting: we care about being available to everyone, everywhere. But the launch in Africa in eight countries is not only important to me on a personal level, but it is also a big step towards our goal of introducing Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin to the world. ” -Rihanna

Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin will be available for purchase across Africa, including cult skincare items such as Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation and Fenty Beauty Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter, products for top-selling lip products such as Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb and Universal Stun. Lip Luminizer, Lip Paint Longwear Fluid Lip Color, and your first skincare must-haves such as Fenty Skin Hydra Visor Invisible Moisturizer Broad Range SPF 30 Sunscreen and Fenty Skin Total Cleans’r Remove-It-All Cleanser.
