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 skin tones, creating formulas for all skin types, and pinpointing universal shades.

Fenty Beauty products are designed to feel lightweight, delivering buildable coverage, to “make skin look like skin.” Most importantly, Rihanna creates makeup to inspire: “Makeup is there for you to have fun with,” she says.

FENTY SKIN BY RIHANNA

Rihanna brings together ingredients from around the world and pairs them with skincare powerhouses for clinically proven results. She’s prioritized clean, vegan & gluten free formulas. The packaging is recyclable & refillable. Plus, she’s elevated the entire experience with supple, unique textures and warm, delicious scents.

KVD BEAUTY

Born in an iconic tattoo studio, 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. 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.

And, with touchable textures and “more please!” scents, OLE HENRIKSEN creates an unforgettable skincare experience that makes you feel as good as you look.
