Welcome to The Cosmetic Chronicles!

In this episode, I’m diving into Fenty—the beauty brand that launched with 40 foundation shades and quietly challenged every other makeup brand to step up. I explore how our favorite badgal Rihanna built the brand, and how the result led to the now-infamous marketing phrase, “the Fenty effect.”
