Advocating For Inclusivity
“Skincare, it’s the truth. It either works or it doesn’t. There’s nowhere to hide," Rihanna told British Vogue.
In the cover story for British Vogue, she voiced her disappointment about the fact that Fenty Beauty was deemed groundbreaking. Launched in September 2017, Fenty Beauty catalysed a shift in the beauty industry. Consequently, it pushed brands to create more inclusive and diverse products for people of colour. She stated she was appalled by the notion that creating products for black people was being considered a marketing strategy.
“Makeup is like a secret weapon. It can go from very subtle to a complete transformation. But for many, that secret weapon is too secret. Makeup companies often cater to women with light to medium skin tones, both in products and advertising, and sideline women of color,” Rihanna told Time Magazine. It had listed Fenty Beauty as one of the best inventions of 2017.
Fenty Beauty showcased 40 shades of foundation and a myriad of diverse makeup models. Instantaneously, other brands too started selling deeper brands. Some even launched campaigns for women of colour.
