Created with a belief in inclusivity, this glossy, sheer lipstick comes in ten slip-on shades that are universally flattering on all skin tones. The shade range encompases both everyday nudes and pops of color ranging from clear to deep berry to peach pink. Encompassed in Fenty’s sleek, classic hexagonal packaging, the product is 100% cruelty free. The Slip Shine Lipstick also contains conditioning pomegranate oil, which will keep your lips glossy and hydrated while staying comfortable and sheer. With its range of colors and easy application, this product is a perfect grab-and-go to look flawless in any situation, whether it be a night out or the office.

The release is slated to be yet another success for Fenty Beauty. Fenty is a game-changer beauty brand because it released a groundbreaking 40 shades of its Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation in 2017. The wide shade-range touted a match for all skin tones, and its inclusivity highlighted other brands’ lack of shades for people of color. Fenty’s release prompted a discussion of diversity and inclusivity in the makeup industry. The brand continued its mission of inclusivity with the Pro Filt’r Instant Retouch Concealer offering 40 shades and the Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer with colors for all skin tones.

As Fenty Beauty continues improving diversity and inclusivity in the beauty industry, we look forward to its upcoming releases. You can find the Slip Shine Sheer Shiny Lipstick on the Fenty Beauty, Sephora, Boots UK, or Harvey Nichols websites starting June 20. Each lipstick retails for $22 each.

Screen Shot 2020-06-05 at 5.42.53 PM - Woojong Kim.png

Blackout Tuesday, a now famous hashtag on social media applications such as Instagram and Twitter, was promoted by activists to observe, mourn and bring about policy change in the wake of the death of George Floyd.

Screen Shot 2020-06-05 at 5.41.39 PM - Woojong Kim.png

While many celebrities posted on their personal social media, Rihanna took it upon herself to promote this cause on her business platforms and in result, has closed all three of her profitable brands – cosmetics company Fenty Beauty, Lingerie line Savage x Fenty, and LVMH-helmed Luxury line FentyShe temporarily to raise public awareness and encourage the Black Lives Matter movement.

Screen Shot 2020-06-05 at 6.20.24 PM - Woojong Kim.png

On Fenty’s Instagram page she writes, “FENTY as a brand was created to elevate beauty, power and freedom! At this very moment racists are attempting to rip those values away from Black people and we will NOT stand by and let that happen. We are too powerful, creative and resilient. In support of the Black community, we will be donating funds to Color of Change and Movement for Black Lives. We ask you to speak up, stand up, and pull up against racism and discrimination in all forms. We are not staying silent and we are not standing by. The fight against racial inequality, injustice, and straight up racism doesn’t stop without any movement.”

In London on February second, the star Rihanna was caught rocking her new high end Fentys pumps. The name of the party was called “British Vogue and Tiffany & Co Celebrate Fashion and FIlm. The party took place at Annabel’s after the BAFTA awards. Rihanna arrived at 3:30 am which was seemingly fashionably late to the event in a pair of big crystal earrings by Alessandra Rich, a Shay black diamond heart ring, a dark Fenty ensemble, and black Fenty pumps.

At her entrance, the party grew longer in the famous stars honor. The outfit that she wore, as seen in the pictures was an oversized black jersey hoodie, high waisted extra long palazzo pants in Jet Black satin, a Dior satin saddle bag, and on her feet was a pair of Fenty’s pointed black pumps in black. This outfit proved that Rihanna’s style is both edgy and chic. The outfit itself cost more then 1,000 dollars which is a bit on the expensive side for some. Although the outfit is somewhat pricey it is gorgeous nonetheless. This shows that Rih has an interesting style that is high in demand. The fashionista always makes a grand imprint within the fashion industry which is loved by many. Every young trendy woman should have a hot all black look, so shop Fenty for yours!

For the next 30 days, clean skincare brand Farmacy would be donating 10,000 meals a day to Feeding America, the nation's largest hunger relief organization. With a shortage of surgical masks in hospitals and urgent care clinics, The Crème Shop pledged to donate N95 masks to customer and hospitals running low on supplies. LVMH, which owns Dior, Fenty, and Sephora would be using their perfume factories to produce hand sanitizer. It would then be distributed to French health services and hospitals for free. The French beauty brand, L’Occitane announced that they would send their hand creams to hospital to help with dryness caused by constant cleaning for nurses and doctors. L’Oréal announced their initiative early last week. Their initiative includes using their factories to produce hand sanitizer and distributing it to the authorities. Their skincare brand, La Roche Posay will be providing hand sanitizers to partner French pharmacies, hospitals and care homes. While their haircare brand, Garnier will be supplying free hand sanitizer to European food distribution customers to help protect their employees and customers from the virus. They will also be donating 1 million euros to their non-profit partner organization, which will work to offer essential hygiene kits to social workers, volunteers and beneficiaries.
