There are celebrity beauty brands... and then there’s Fenty Beauty. Long before the avalanche of celeb-fronted beauty brands (many of which we love too), Rihanna and her Fenty Beauty brand were paving the way. When the brand first debuted nearly 10 years ago, the Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation was a cornerstone—it became an instant favorite and also seriously changed the game with a then-groundbreaking 40-shade range, which, while long overdue, pushed the industry to be more inclusive (Rihanna never misses).
But the singer’s not resting on her laurels—since then, the brand has dropped plenty of other icons that Cosmo readers and editors have fallen in love with, including the newly-launched Sun Stalk’r Soufflé Bronzer, the Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer (a 2025 Readers’ Choice Award winner), the Grip Trip Mattifying + Blurring Primer (a 2026 Holy Grail Beauty Award winner), and many, many more. Beyond Fenty Beauty’s skincare and makeup products, don’t forget Rihanna also has Fenty Hair.
So, if you’re wondering which Fenty Beauty products you should pick up first, you’re in the right place. Here are the Fenty Beauty products Cosmo editors use and trust on the daily.
One Cosmo editor says: “I've loved this highlighter since I was in college (dare I say I think this is the same compact from five years ago). I love a glowy cheek more than anything, and the sparkling pink hue blends perfectly with my blush to create a luminous, lit-from-within effect. And when I'm being extra lazy with my eye makeup (which is pretty much always), I love swiping it over my eyes for a monochromatic finish.”—JASMINE HYMAN, ASSISTANT BEAUTY EDITOR
One Cosmo editor says: “I’m super obsessed with how playful this blush feels from start to finish. The shaker-meets-sponge applicator makes every use feel like a little beauty ritual, and the five juicy hues (I’m rocking Wild’berry Whip) deliver the prettiest wash of color that’s impossible to mess up. The formula is light, creamy, and ridiculously buildable, so I can go from a soft flush to full-on statement cheeks in seconds. Honestly, shaking it up might be half the fun!”—JULEE WILSON, BEAUTY EDITOR-AT-LARGE
One Cosmo editor says: “I have to admit I freaked out in the best possible way when I tried this new bronzer. I love it when brands really push innovation and create new ways for us to interact with products. Bronzer has always seemed pretty straightforward, but this formula feels completely unique. It has this pliable, putty-like texture, and the way it melts into the skin creates such an amazing sensorial experience while still delivering a high-performance finish. I’m super impressed by how easily I can create a warmer, sun-kissed look without the bronzer feeling too pronounced or overwhelming on my face.” —JW
One Cosmo editor says: “I pretty sure I have one these in every bag I know (work bag, gym bag, evening bag, grocery tote bag, etc)! Yup. It’s that good. But I’m particularly found of is the rich consistency of the formula and the color payoff. It’s not sticky but it stays put, so I don’t have to reapply every two seconds. And the hues are so yummy. My fave are Fuchsia Flex, Hot Chocolit, and Rose Amber.” —JW
One Cosmo editor says: “I love a skin tint on light makeup days, and this is a great one. It’s not super watery (my skin tint pet peeve!) and it’s really easy to blend. It provides light coverage that’s really noticeable: My pores are instantly blurred and redness is covered up with several drops.” —CATHARINE MALZAHN, CONTRIBUTING BEAUTY WRITER
One Cosmo editor says: “The Rose Quartz shade brightens my undereyes, doesn’t settle into lines, and totally blurs pores and texture—everything you’d want in a powder. I especially love that even though it blurs so well, it doesn’t leave my skin looking matte, flat, and one-dimensional. It still lets my skin look like skin but keeps my makeup in place for hours.” —CM
