Rihanna Is Launching A Lipstick That's An Ode To Menstruation — Seriously
Just when you thought Rihanna's makeup line couldn't get any better, she pulls out another instant win. One of Fenty Beauty's new Mattemoiselle shades is called PMS. Yes, really. Because it's about darn time that someone turns PMS into something great. The shade is described as a "moody brown," so it's the perfect one for you — no matter what time of the month it is.
Fenty Beauty has been proving that it's not your typical beauty brands since it first launched. It all started with a whopping 40 shades of foundation. Then, the brand managed to find the perfect red lipstick for almost every single skin tone. Now, solid lipsticks are here, and they're just as good as everything that came before them.
All 14 shades are absolutely gorgeous. They range from purples and blues to wearable mauves and brown tones. If the shade names are any indication, these products are definitely not like anything else on the market. The line is filled with names like Spanked, Midnight Wasabi, and Clapback. But it's PMS that deserves a closer look.
According to the brand's press release, the shade is described as a moody brown. It's one of the deepest hues in the range and has a deep brown with a redish tint. Oh, and the lipstick doesn't bleed once applied, either. So you'll get all the benefits of PMS and none of the side effects.
The shade is arriving very soon too. According to the brand's Instagram page, Mattemoiselle Lipsticks will arrive on the Sephora and Fenty Beauty websites, as well as Sephora stores, on Dec. 26 at 9 a.m. ET. Odds are you've never been so excited to hear that PMS is on it's way so soon.
Each one of the shades will be available for $18 each. That's the price of one box of tampons, a chocolate bar, and a Netflix subscription.
"I wanted a lipstick collection where every shade works on every skin tone," Rihanna said, according to the press release. "I wanted to prove that lipstick is meant to be fun and not feared."
Leave it to Rihanna to take something as terrible and feared as PMS and give it a whole new look. The line is branded as "color for every mood" and she wasn't lying. Other shades include Saw-C (a bright orange), Up 2 No Good (a neutral peach), and Single (a mauve neutral). To say that the makeup creator is serving looks would be an understatement.
This shade goes way beyond just it's name though. The Fenty Beauty Mattemoiselle line is a brand new formula. According to the press release, it has all day color intensity and a weightless matte finish. The lipstick is thinner than your typical bullet-shaped product, but packs just as much of a punch.
It's meant to be used as a liner and a lip color. The press release suggests using it right side up for the top lip and flipping it upside down to fill in the bottom. Because there's always a method to Rihanna's makeup madness and it's always incredible.
Rihanna is no stranger to rocking a rainbow of lipstick on a day-to-day basis, so it makes sense that she would make the line so inclusive. There's no word on if there are more shades to come, but this is the heck of a start.
Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of these shades, but PMS is definitely one to watch. The shade is gorgeous and will look great no matter what season it is. After all, it's not every day that you can take control of your PMS.
