In 2017, at the age of 29, Rihanna launched Fenty Beauty. Before this venture, she collaborated with MAC Cosmetics and introduced 10 perfumes. However, Fenty Beauty marked her entry into an independent cosmetic brand. Rihanna stated that Fenty's primary goal was to serve 'every type of woman' and embrace 'all skin tones.' She said, 'Every product had to work on every type of skin; there needed to be something for a dark-skinned girl, a very pale girl, something in between.'
