About Rihanna's Fenty Beauty & Fenty Skin
Fenty Beauty, launched in 2017, disrupted the makeup game by prioritising inclusivity. From foundations in 50+ shades to contour sticks, blotting powders, and glow-enhancing highlighters, the brand quickly became a cult favourite.
Alongside Fenty Beauty, India will also welcome Fenty Skin, Rihanna’s clean, vegan skincare line, which she introduced in 2020. Built on the principle of “Beauty For All”, Fenty Skin is designed for multitasking and real results without the 20-step routine.
Rihanna created both brands with inclusivity and accessibility at the core. With India now part of that global vision, desi beauty fans can finally experience the hype firsthand.
Indians can buy Fenty's all-hero products at Sephora India and Tira Beauty, both online and in stores, starting on Thursday, August 7, 2025.
