Additional Information

FENTY BEAUTY BY RIHANNA

Rihanna was inspired to create Fenty Beauty after years of experimenting with the best-of-the-best in beauty—and still seeing a void in the industry for products that performed across all skin types and tones. She launched a makeup line “so that people everywhere would be included,” focusing on a wide range of traditionally hard-to-match skin tones, creating formulas that work for all skin types, and pinpointing universal shades.

Fenty Beauty products are designed to feel lightweight, even as they deliver buildable coverage that effortlessly layers, to ultimately “make skin look like skin.” Most importantly, Rihanna creates makeup to inspire: “Makeup is there for you to have fun with,” she says. “It should never feel like pressure. It should never feel like a uniform. Feel free to take chances, and take risks, and dare to do something new or different.”

FENTY SKIN BY RIHANNA

Inspired by her global lifestyle, Rihanna brings together ingredients from around the world and pairs them with skincare powerhouses, such as hyaluronic acid and niacinamide—for clinically proven results. Driven by that bad encounter with a harsh product, she’s prioritized clean formulas that are also vegan and gluten free. The packaging? Earth-conscious: Think more recyclable materials and smart refillable packs that feel luxurious. Plus, she’s elevated the entire experience with supple, unique textures and warm, delicious scents.

KVD BEAUTY

Born in an iconic tattoo studio, rooted in a dream of unrestrained beauty with a nonconformist and fearless spirit, we started a revolution with tattoo-inspired makeup and limitless creativity. We continue this legacy. We are KVD: Tattoo-Inspired Vegan Beauty. We create high-pigment, high-performance makeup inspired by tattoo artistry. We stand for more than just performance: Our makeup is 100% vegan and cruelty-free, and we’re committed to becoming more sustainable. We celebrate the individual through artistic self-expression and limitless creativity. We give you the tools to live your beauty truth.

OLE HENRIKSEN

Big results. Bright scents. Brilliant skin. OLE HENRIKSEN makes levelling up into “adult” skincare fun with products that are equal parts effectiveness and experience. With a potent blend of natural botanicals, powerful actives and essential fatty acids, each formula exfoliates, treats, and soothes. And, with touchable textures and “more please!” scents, OLEHENRIKSEN creates an unforgettable skincare experience that makes you feel as good as you look.
