You don’t want to sleep on this launch, beauty lovers. Two years in the making, Fenty Beauty, a new beauty line by Rihanna, is at Sephora near you! Seriously, these products are launching in seventeen countries. So this product really is available everywhere!

This new line was designed with diversity in mind. At her Brookyln launch event last week Rihanna stressed that she was focusing on meeting the needs for women of all skin tones. So don’t go to Sephora looking for eyeshadow palettes, mascara, and eye liner. Instead, go expecting face products: concealer, foundation, highlighter, and more.

The line is was designed by Rihanna and the regimen is formulated to mirror her own beauty routine. It all starts with a soft matte base. For that, she’s releasing a liquid foundation in a staggering 40 shades. ”The biggest challenge was making sure that each product covered all skin tones, and it was a challenge I was up for,” Rihanna told BAZAAR.com in an interview. “I didn’t care how long it took, I was going to make sure that we covered most skin tones. Diversity and inclusivity are important to the brand. I hope that fans, makeup lovers, and makeup artists feel that.”

The second step is to get your glow on with shimmer. Rihanna is launching six wet-or-dry powder highlighters, four duos, and two singles. Unlike other makeup lines, these shimmers still have diversity in mind. There is a shimmer product available for every skin tone. So no one will be without their Rihanna-inspired glow.

The third step is a blotting tool. After all, Rihanna loves to ‘shine bright like a diamond’ — but she doesn’t want to look greasy! For this, the mega star is launching two shine-busting options: a translucent powder with a soft puff included and uniquely packaged blotting papers. The blotting products, along with Rihanna’s uniquely formulated shimmers will work together to ensure you only shine in the right places.

Because this is primarily a face line, Rihanna did not forget to come through with the tools. In addition to the mini brush that can be bought with the blotting powder, there’s a BeautyBlender-like sponge, a synthetic highlighting brush, and a small synthetic foundation brush.
