Fenty Beauty By Rihanna Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation
Fenty Beauty, named after founder Robyn Rihanna Fenty, this brand has become the feature brand of the season at Sephora since its launch date in September 2017. Since then, it has only grown to become a bigger and better brand for Sephora locations across the globe, and for its cosmetic creator Miss Fenty herself!
Rihanna’s foundation the Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation has become one of her most raved about foundations within her makeup line. It’s most-loved for its endless shade range with many fabulous foundation combinations to choose from! Fenty Beauty prides itself on the motto “beauty for all”. We believe this to be one of the most powerful statements that a person can make within the industry of beauty since it so often focuses on ideas of perfection, rather than the person who is wearing the product. We love the idea that beauty can be truly for anyone in the world in any capacity big or small. Anyone can find something they love in this line of cosmetics.
