I Tried the Fenty Foundation Rihanna Wore to the Met Gala

Made in Japan, it’s formulated with a breathable polymer blend, color-true longwear pigments, and starfruit extracts to feel lightweight on your skin, build up coverage, truly last, and control your shine throughout your day.

The best part? It’s waterproof and won’t disintegrate in sweat or humidity. I tried this foundation on multiple long, busy (and sweaty) days, and the foundation looked practically intact. I have combination skin during the summer, and every other foundation pills and disappears on me at the end of the day. This one was perfection. 

But don’t just take my word for it. Rihanna also swears by this new foundation. She isn’t just a founder by name only. According to Roshini Greenwald, Fenty’s North American General Manager, Rihanna tests every Fenty product rigorously before it launches.

She wore the Pro Filt’r Fluid Flex Natural Matte Foundation for everything, including multiple red carpets and this year’s Met Gala. “Rihanna’s philosophy is you need some mattifying to keep your makeup looking fresh,” she told E! at the press preview event. 

While there are still a few weeks until the official launch date, it’ll be well worth the wait. Trust me, I’ve never used a foundation as good as this one. I’d argue it’s better than the OG. In the meantime, keep scrolling to shop other bestsellers from Fenty.
