I tried every item in Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty line. Here are 5 products that really impressed me — and 2 that didn’t.

• As a beauty reporter, I’ve tried every product in Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty line.
• I loved products like the Match Stix Contour Skinsticks and Bright Fix eye brightener.
• I wouldn’t recommend Fenty Beauty’s Pro Filt’r soft-matte longwear foundation or Stunna Lip Paints.

For the past seven years, Fenty Beauty by Rihanna has stood the test of time — a rarity among celebrity beauty brands.

The musician launched Fenty Beauty in 2017 and, according to Vogue, it had $100 million in sales within 40 days of its launch. Forbes estimated in 2021 that the brand was worth $2.8 billion.

As a beauty reporter, I’ve tested every type of Fenty Beauty product. A few have become staples in my makeup bag, but others were a hard pass.

Here are some that impressed me and a few that didn’t.
