Fenty Makeup - god send!

Can I just take a minute to gush about how absolutely amazing Rihanna's Fenty makeup brand is?! The foundation is second to none. It's the best I have ever tried - creamy, good coverage, but natural. My exact skin match!

Concealer arrived today and it is unreal!

I'm not usually one for celebrity brands as I think they're often not well made, but this is next level. And 100% cruelty free!

I’ve been reading about this and it looks fantastic. I can only find it online tho in the uk, where did you get it?

WhiteOrange · 25/01/2019 17:49

I order from Harvey Nichols online.

How did you colour match online please?

Degustibusnonestdisputandem1 · 25/01/2019 18:17

I'd like to know as well...

The fenty concealer is amazing & lighter than the foundation shades. But I would honestly go into store if possible to get shade matched as the shades show up different from online. I’ve read that people have said they oxidised too. But the fenty website is helpful in understanding the understones but found there’s not many shades for cool undertones.

WhiteOrange · 25/01/2019 20:18

I colour matched online by looking at the model pictures mainly (to try and determine which colour tone I am most like) and then comparing the swatch picture to what my previous foundation looked this. No exact science I'm afraid, but it worked for me and I'll never look back. Smile

I think Findation have it on their colour match.

Sexnotgender · 25/01/2019 20:48

Depends on your skin and taste I guess, I hated the foundation.

SlowNorris · 25/01/2019 20:54

How does it compare to others like ELDW?

user1466690252 · 25/01/2019 21:14

Oh wow I’ve just discovered findation!! Thank you

WhiteOrange · 25/01/2019 21:26

It's much creamier than double wear. It also doesn't leave that caked on feeling. As much as it has good coverage, it does feel light.

Took dd to Manchester over the New Year. She got so excited when she saw the Fenty counter in Harvey Nichols as she didn’t realise it was available in the UK. (I got stung forfoundation for her)

WhiteOrange · 25/01/2019 21:35

Thank you for findation link. I'm pleased I've picked the right shade for me! Didn't know this site existed - would have saved me a lot of time.

I might have to give it a try, I’m getting really fed up with the dullness ELDW gives my skin.

user1466690252 · 26/01/2019 06:47

I wear ELDW and love the coverage but it’s a pain getting it off properly and I’d like something easier for everyday. I’ll take a look thank you

WhiteOrange · 26/01/2019 09:30

Look forward to reading what you all think about it. I think you'll be impressed.

I'll have to give it a try now! I'm a foundation addict - always searching for the holy grail of foundation.. I love ELDW but find it too heavy for everyday wear.

Nenuco · 26/01/2019 09:42

I don't like the foundation. Too heavy and matte for me.

Ollivander84 · 26/01/2019 11:00

I prefer DW - I have combo normal/dry skin and the fenty is v matte and dry on me, I believe the fenty is great if you're oily

Ollivander84 · 26/01/2019 11:00

@Ellapaella I really love CYO lifeproof foundation from boots. Cheap, doesn't cake

Ellapaella · 26/01/2019 16:27

Thanks @Ollivander84 - any good for yellow undertones do you know?

Ollivander84 · 26/01/2019 16:32

I'm blue undertones but the google swatches show some more yellow ones
Huda is good for yellow undertones too
