Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty has entered a first-of-its-kind partnership with Arcane, Riot Games’ first animated series based on the globally renowned video game League of Legends to celebrate the upcoming release of the second season. Drawing inspiration from four powerful females from the series: Jinx, Vi, Mel, and Caitlyn, the makeup featured in the new season draws on the strength, resilience, and individualism of the leading women, reflected in the bright and bold makeup in the collection.
Fenty Beauty helped design each character’s makeup looks in the new season with Priscilla Ono, Fenty Beauty’s Head Makeup Artist, working alongside Fortiche Production to develop the makeup both on-screen and in the Fenty studio to develop a truly authentic expereince for gamers and beauty gurus alike.
So, what about the collection? The all-out lineup of classic Fenty Beauty must-haves transformed by the powerhouse women of Arcane tap into the dynamic power of the formidable femmes with shade-shifting colours, bold metallics, shimmering glosses and vibrant blues. Glam and animation have finally collided in a legendary lineup of femme-powered beauty with these fierce, limited-edition pieces launching globally on 2nd November at fentybeauty.com and Sephora.
Fenty Beauty’s ultimate staple lip gloss with an explosive shine that feels as good as it looks is their iconic Gloss Bomb. The essential finishing touch to your Fenty Face has had the Arcane treatment and is now coming in 5 limited addition shades inspired by Jinx; ‘Kaboom’, Vi; ‘Rebel Rais’r’, Mel; ‘Risky Rulin’, Caitlyn; ‘Rogue On Riche$’, and the show; ‘Morphic Melt’, encompassing shades in holographic black, vibrant holographic Pink, shimmering warm gold, shimmering peach nude, and shimmering holographic clear.
Also appearing in the collection is a new shade of Diamond Bomb. The Mel inspired highlighter in ‘Golden Rul’r’ is a one-of-a-kind diamond dusted highlighter, delivering a pure, show- stopping sparkle all over the face and body. Another highlight in the collection is the Killawatt Highlighter Arcane Quad palette, featuring new shades: ‘Chillz’, ‘Wattabrat’, ‘Trophy Wife’, and ‘Girl Next Door’.
And the collection is not limited to base products, for bold and bright eyes; see Jinx inspired Hella Thicc Mascara in shade ‘Ka- Bluey’, Mel inspired Glitty Lid Eyeliner in ‘Mel’odic Moves’, and Anomaly inspired Chrome Catchr shade-shifting gel liner in ‘Anoma’lit’ which’ll give you all the tools necessary for powerful eyes that scream ‘bold’.
Rihanna commented on the collection:
“We’re always finding ways to continue to expand our Fenty Family and empower people to find their inner strength, confidence, and beauty. I love how we’ve done that with Arcane and Fenty Beauty, merging the virtual with the real, creating beauty looks for powerful women, and then translating that into real products that everyone can get their hands on.”
Coming 2nd November 2024, this limited-edition collection contains everything you need to embrace a femme-fatale dream in stunning, bold, and pigmented colours catered to every possible look.
