Cracked on my oily skin!
Okay... So I first tried this foundation because many of my friends were raving about it and there was a massive hype on social media about it. So i decided to pick it up in hopees that it would be a life changer for my oily/sometimes combo skin.
I've tried it time and time again with different moisturizers, primers, and oils underneath but it has always settled into my laugh lines, lines on my forehead, and after a while just looks like its cracking... and mind you.. I am an extremely oily girl... and I am 24 so I have minimal wrinkles.
Although it has worked for many others, it is a definete pass for me.
Does not work great for my dry skin
I love this brand, it is expensive so I probably won't purchase it again. I thought the colour matched me pretty well but because the formula is soft matte I notice my dry skin does not co-operate. The foundation usually flakes off in my dry skin zones and because greasy in my normal zones (like nose or forehead) pretty fast. I have heard other reviews and people seem to like this product a lot I just think my combination skin is not a good contender.
Good - but not for me.
Looks beautiful on my sister's skin but unfortunately, horrible on mine! It dries down matte and isn't forgiving at all towards people with dry skin. I have quite normal skin, leaning towards a little dry sometimes, and this foundation highlighted every dry spot on my face - even in places I wouldn't even classify as dry. It also dries very fast, so if you have dry skin it will stick to the dry patches and become even worse while blending it in. I'd only recommend to people who have combination or oily skin.

Is the hype worth it?
There was so much hype when this foundation was launched I had to have it!! I love that line line has SO many colour choices for people of ALL colours. The downside I found was that this formula and dry skin don’t work well together. If you have dry skin or dry patches I highly suggest exfoliating and a deep moisturizer before applying this product. The formula really seems to stick to any dry skin at all and that just ain’t cute! The foundation is medium to full coverage, if you want full coverage you definitely need to apply two coats!
Fenty foundation
I was so excited and pumped to try this product from fenty. It was expensive and I waited and got it for Christmas from my husband. It dried so fast I could barely apply it properly, I found it watery and didn’t have very good coverage. I was very sad about this product. It was so hyped up I thought it would be amazing and it wasn’t.
I thought it was okay, until I didn't
I liked this foundation when I started using it- but it was the first higher end foundation I had tried so my expectations weren't high, plus I really wanted to like it because it was Rihanna's product. I was initially told by a Sephora employee that I was shade 150. I'm usually the lightest shade of foundation so this didn't quite seem right. I used it for a while, but eventually got a bottle of 120 which is the next lightest neutral shade. It could still be lighter and can look a little orange on me.
After using this for a few months, I realized I had gotten extremely self conscious about hot my face looked. The foundation was very cakey. It didn't cover redness. It clings to all of the imperfections on my face- acne, dryness and every single peach fuzz hair that exists on my face.
I’m heartbroken
i was soo hyped for this foundation. I tried it on in the store, and the colour is absolutely perfect, i’ve never been able to find a foundation that matches my pasty skin so well. unfortunately though, my dry skin just wont cooperate with this foundation, i’ve tried exfoliating, different primers, serums and oils, but nothing will work, and the foundation cakes and sits on the surface of my skin:( really wish i had better things to say since the colour match is amazing:(
Its ok...but I recommend better foundational...
I recently purchased from sephora the newest foundation line from Rihanna
Called FENTY BEAUTY.
It was so new that I wanted to try and see the hype from a singer to COSMETICS creator.
I tried color 220 which is for light to medium skin tones I would consider.
What I did like about the foundation is it does go on very light, air brush effect to the foundation. I applied with a brush as they recommend and it worked nicely as if air brush makeup was on my face.
My pores did look smoother, and over all a glow and even complexion.
What I did not like is the foundation dried out fast eventually in the makeup and on the face. You definitely need the primer first, which I don't necessarily always want to pile on so much makeup products on my face, but this foundation you need primer to get the best effect.
It was a little too matte in finish, my face looked dull, less of a natural glow or sparkle as other primers and foundations create.
I did like that there was many colours for all skin tones to choose from, so you don't need to worry about color match.
I think I prefer other foundations and she should stick to singing ;)
Not what I was expecting
I bought this when it first launch with all the hype about Rihanna's makeup line. After seeing many positive reviews I decided to purchase this during the VIB sale at sephora. I ended up returning it because I felt like it was nothing special. I had so many better foundations in my collection, and drugstore ones at that and this just would separate on my face all the time no matter what kind of primer I used underneath,
