Fenty Beauty is helping turn us all into a beach goddess with 8 new bronzers
So, just a few weeks ago Fenty Beauty got us all super psyched for summer with the news that it was relaunching the Body Lava in a new shade (Trophy Wife, in case you missed it).
Things have just heated up because Rihanna’s beauty brand have announced the launch of a whole new makeup category with a collection of bronzers - and we had no idea we needed them until this very second.
There’s going to be EIGHT shades, all presented in gold-plated compacts and they’re dropping online on April 5. Rihanna announced the news on Instagram, writing: “It took me over 2 years to create #SUNSTALKR BRONZER with every skin tone in mind.”

Instead of a single shade that’s meant to work for everyone, the brand wrote on another post that “Bronzer isn’t one shade fits all” and that it’s set to be “the perfect bronzer that brings out the right pigments for a natural warmth and glow on all skin tones!”

The eight shades are called Coco Naughty, Mocha Mami, Caramel Cutie, Bajan Gyal, I$land Ting, Private Island, Shady Biz, and Inda Sun.
These new bronzers are “blendable and transfer resistant” according to the brand and will give you that just-back-from-holiday glow all year round. The soft-matte powders were made to enhance undertones so it can be as subtle as you like.
We’re also impressed that Fenty Beauty really have covered all basis of shades from light and dark to cool and warm so getting your hands on ones of these is pretty much like getting your own personalised bronzer.
