Also, if you have trouble finding foundation for hard-to-match undertones or extremely pale or deep skin, RCMA is a pro line with 48 (!) shades of foundation available for only $23.Ģ | Match Stix Trio, $54 ($75 value), set includes 3 tubes: highlighter, concealer, and contour.75 oz total. You can check out this post on my favorite foundations, including my shade picks for fair skin. Maybe oily skin or younger skin would have better luck with this formula, but for my dry skin with fine lines, this foundation was a pass for me. Lines I hadn’t even noticed appeared on my forehead and around my eyes while wearing this foundation.

It was patchy, especially around my nose, and made my skin look a lot older. While I love the idea of 40 shades, as any one who is in either the fair or deep categories knows it can be hard to find the right shade and undertone, this foundation just didn’t work for me. Here’s my breakdown of what I loved and what didn’t work for me and why:ġ | Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation, $34, 1.08 oz. Soooo, the big question: is Fenty Beauty Hot or Not? Fenty Beauty is available exclusively at Sephora. I purchased the match six trio in Light, a match stix in Amber, the gloss bomb Universal shade, and received a deluxe size sample of the foundation in shade 150. By the launch date, I was really intrigued and beyond ready to try some products. However, the Fenty hype was absolutely working on me. They’d talk up the show to get people to audition and it always left a bad taste in my mouth. I think it’s from when I used to be an actor and I’d hear hype about auditioning for terrible shows. I’ve said this in previous posts, but there is something about hype that usually has the opposite of the intended effect on me. I felt like everyone was waiting for Fenty to drop. I felt like I went from hearing “Rihanna’s going to launch a makeup line” to a six months of silence, to a absolute fever pitch of anticipation. Fenty Beauty was probably the most hyped makeup brand launch of 2017.
