I know that its been a few months since Rihanna shocked the world with her make up line FENTY BEAUTY. I wanted to write a quick review on the product. Now here is a small disclaimer I have only tried the foundation and the primer. Now I feel that I can accurate give my opinion because there are so many preferences when it comes to contours creams vs. powders etc. I feel that the primer and the foundation are the most important products in her line and thus is the reason for my review. First things first, I love that she dropped 40 different shades! As a woman of color, it is very difficult to find a foundation that fits my color. Its a very frustrating activity to try to find a foundation. I really don't like to go to makeup stores because I feel that they cater to lighter shades. I am color 440 (which has been sold out forever). I like that it goes onto the skin so smoothly. The thing with the foundation is that it is a bit runny and it DRIES QUICKLY. Which means that you have to do your face a section at a time. Once the foundation is applied it does oxides which makes it a little darker. The foundation feels light and not cakey. It makes your face feel nice which I like. Now I've heard from other people that this isn't for dry skin. My skin is pretty normal and nothing really irritates my face. Even after a long time the foundation looks pretty awesome. This picture was taken after about 4 hours with the foundation on. I was at the Hullabaloo show which was outdoors. The night was pretty warm which is why I look a little oily. Overall I love love love love love this foundation.

I just started filling in my eyebrows recently. I was so sure that I couldn't fill them in. So I went to Ulta and the lady there showed me how to do that. After I learned how to do it I realized how easy it is to fill them in. I don't do a whole lot with the brows just use the brow gel. This gel was about ~ $8.99. I like this gel a lot. It is a good dupe for the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Dip Pomade.
So this is the only thing in my make up bag that I am not exactly sure where to buy it from. I found this when I worked at the catalog company. This is absolutely the best concealer ever! I like my concealer to be 2 to 3 shades lighter than my actual foundation. I don't like the halo look around my eyebrows. I also use this concealer under my eyes as well. This blends beautifully with my liquid foundation.
I use Bare Minerals Foundations. I absolutely love this foundation. I use it almost everyday. Its my go to foundation for interviews and just everyday wear. I like that it has SPF 15 in it as well. I wore this foundation all summer and I have not had any major issues with sweating. The formulas is powder with no scent. It does oxidize on the skin and a little goes a long way. You just swirl, tap, and buff. I like that Bare Minerals has a lot of different shades. The best thing about Bare Minerals is that you have the product for at least three months. It comes in a 6 or 8 ounce container I believe. Bare Minerals has their own stores and can be found in Sephora, Beauty Brands, etc. The price is about ~$30. It is definitely a great buy.
I use ELF eyeliner because I like the color pay off and I use Wet N Wild mascara. I don't have a lot of eyelashes and the Wet N Wild has gives me a small illusion of having at least a little bit of eyelashes. The eyeliner is about ~$2.99 and the mascara is about ~$3.99.
