See Fenty Beauty's New Bronzers on 5 Women


When I slacked the Glamour team that the much-anticipated Fenty Sun Stalk’r bonzers had just arrived at my desk, a hoard of excited editors surrounded me like hungry piranhas. “I just saw Fenty and came running,” said Khaliha, our digital producer. That’s the kind of star power the brand—and Rihanna—has. Without even knowing what the product is, you know it’s going to be good.

At this point, Fenty Beauty needs no introduction (but if you’re curious, this story is a great starting point), and the brand is practically synonymous with inclusivity in the beauty industry. So it’s no surprise that when Rih finally dropped a collection of bronzers, the range would be just as good as her 49-shade-and-counting foundation line. Most brands have three to five bronzer shades at most, stopping short at a chocolate shade. Not Fenty’s, which features eight shades with a range of both warm and cool undertones. It’s important to note that, as always, Fenty took both sides on the complexion spectrum into consideration. There’s a neutral-toned amber that won’t leave pale skin looking like a Cheeto, and a deep chocolate shade to add warmth to the darkest skin.

We put the range to the test, and tried out Sun Stalk’r on five different skin tones and tan preferences. Read on to see what our editors think.

See Fenty Beauty's Nude Stunna Lip Paints on 4 Women


When Rihanna launched Fenty Beauty’s Stunna Lip Paint last year—a bold blue-red shade based off her signature look—she didn’t just drop a red lipstick. Rih went all out with a weightless formula that glides on smooth and dries into a velvety matte finish. The brand flooded Instagram with photos of everyone from Slick Woods to Duckie Thot wearing the color to show how versatile it was. And Rihanna even made her own Insta tutorial for it. Honestly, would you expect anything less?

Which is why it should come as no surprise that now, almost a year later, she’s coming in even hotter with four new additions to the Stunna family. This time, they’re nudes for every skin tone. And black—because in Rihanna’s world, you better believe that’s a neutral. As Fenty revealed the colors one by one last week, the fan responses came pouring in. Women of color praised Fenty for finally creating a nude in mind for dark skin (a “universal chocolate brown” called Unveil), which the brand says went through rigorous testing to confirm the claim. The black (surprise, surprise) was also met with similar enthusiasm, if not some slight hesitation.

The question, of course, you probably want to know though is if they’re worth the hype. We had four staffers put them to the test. Read on for their honest thoughts.

The Best Deals From Ulta Beauty's 'Fall Haul' Sale


If computers could talk, ours would complain about how much time we spend on Ulta’s website. But that will never change, because blink and you miss the retailer’s fast and furious sales. From September 23 through 29, it’s Ulta Beauty’s Fall Haul event, an annual offering that takes up to 50 percent off a ton of makeup, hair, and skin products. From mascara that builds up the sparsest set of lashes, to a go-to conditioner, and a vampy liquid lipstick made for cooler days, the only way the sale could get better is if the store subbed in crunchy leaves for packing peanuts. From our checkout basket to yours, here’s everything worth shopping from the Fall Haul sale.

Ulta Beauty's Best-Selling Beauty Products of 2017


You could argue there’s never a bad time to shop for makeup, but really, the end of the year has got to be the best. Not only do products that rarely go on sale finally get prices slashed, there’s also the best-seller lists to look forward to. Given that Ulta Beauty was the most Googled beauty brand in 2017, you can trust its breakdown really is representative of the year’s most popular products. As its sales have proved, overall it was a big year for makeup: Benefit’s Roller Lash is still widely beloved; yeah, Anastastia’s Glow Kits are that good; and MAC coming to Ulta this year was definitely well received. Perhaps most surprising, though, is that not a single item is a repeat from last year’s best-seller list.

Fenty Beauty's New Mattemoiselle Lipsticks: Everything We Know So Far


Even with the insanely pretty new lipsticks coming out, our lipstick routine hasn’t changed for the past, oh, 10 years. A swipe over your top lip, a swipe over your bottom, and maybe a tissue blot if you’re trying to make it last. Done. Such has been the way of the lipstick world, but because Rihanna is Rihanna and Fenty is Fenty, that’s no longer. It’s too soon to know whether the brand’s new Mattemoiselle lipsticks are going to change everything like its foundations did, but we already know they come with an unheard-of trick.

When you think lipstick,”innovation” probably isn’t the first word that comes to mind. Walk down any beauty aisle, and bullets and doe foot wands are pretty much your only options. And when news about Fenty’s new Mattemoiselles hit our inbox, at first, it looked like more of the same. Granted, the $18 lipsticks come in a range of shades that’s everything you would expect of Rihanna. She gave us nude colors for every skin tone, reds that meet the bar Stunna Lip Paint set, and a few purples, blues, and greens, because Fenty products come with confidence built in. The formula looks good too, promising serious pigment without the feel of it on your lips. Just going off all that, we were psyched for December 26, when the Mattemoiselles will be dropping.

But packaging-wise, they’re pure twins to the Starlit Hyper-Glitz Lipstick that came out in Fenty’s holiday collection. Very pretty, but a basic bullet lipstick—or so we thought. Because according to the Global Fenty Beauty Artistry Team (specifically, global makeup artists Priscilla Ono and Hector Espinal), they designed Fenty’s lipsticks with a hidden tip in mind. Now, people toss around the words “hidden tip” on the Internet these days, but trust—you haven’t heard this before.

Picture how you normally apply lipstick, with your hand coming at your face from below, around your chin. We’ve all gone through the motions—it feels intuitive. Now, say goodbye to that. Fenty’s team says that angle is perfect for applying lipstick to your top lip. But for your bottom lip? Flip the lipstick upside down, and swipe it across your lip from that angle (holding the tube pointed down, coming from around your nose).

It feels entirely weird at first, after trying it, it really does gives you a more controlled application—no longer is getting to the corners of your lips an annoying feat of precision. Held upside down, Fenty’s bullets get in there with a perfect fit. Our out of office message is on; we’re trying this with every lipstick we own.

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.
