Fenty Beauty's First Red Lipstick Is Landing on Thanksgiving
Let’s get right to it, because this is breaking news of the highest degree. Rihanna just dropped word that a brand-new product is coming to us from Fenty Beauty, and while not much intel has dropped yet, we just got our first look. Right in line with the Fenty ethos, it’s another product that’s meant to look equally good on every skin tone. But where the Gloss Bomb manages to flatter everyone with its shimmery, sheer balm formula, Rihanna’s newest release goes bolder: we’re looking at a dramatic, blue-red lip shade called Stunna Lip Paint. Its tagline? “One Red For All.”
Also boldly, Rihanna saw your Thanksgiving celebration and raised it one Fenty drop date. Sorry friends, sorry family, but they’ll probably understand when you dash to your computer to grab the Lip Paint when it hits on Nov. 23 (we don’t play games with Fenty, especially given its repeat sold-out status). The saving grace is that at the very least, there’ll be a few places to hit up for stock if any stores run dry. According to the brand, the Stunna Lip Paint will be available online at fentybeauty.com, sephora.com and harveynichols.com, and in-store at Sephora and Harvey Nichols.
Fenty hasn’t let on how much the Stunna Lip Paint will cost you (we’ve reached out the brand, and will update when we hear back), but given that the Gloss Bomb goes for $18, and the two holiday lip products are priced at $19 each, it would make sense for the Stunna to fall around that range. However: this thing does look like an objet d’art. At least in terms of packaging, there’s some resemblance to Christian Louboutin’s Nail Color, which goes for $50—so fingers crossed that Rih is serving us luxury b*tch products at accessible prices, like she’s mentioned is her intent with Fenty.
That said, the comments on her Instagram post don’t seem too concerned. Our favorite so far: “SHE CAN JUST TAKE MY DEBIT CARD HONESTLY.” It’s real. As for what the Stunna looks like on, the name Lip Paint had us expecting a matte liquid lipstick. But, as per usual, it seems like Rihanna is bucking tradition. In her follow-up photo, it looks like the shade has a semi-glossy, vinyl-esque finish.
Color-wise, it feels similar to MAC’s Riri Woo shade—which makes sense, given that Rihanna’s forever been a fan of a universal blue-red. If you still rue the day you missed out on Riri Woo, this might just be its new-and-improved iteration.
