- lkrubner 8y agoRihanna is an impressive entrepreneur who has demonstrated a real vision for how to innovate in this space: --------------- In 2017, Fenty Beauty was named one of Time’s “Inventions of the Year” for its inclusivity, but it’s the impact of the brand’s release that is truly impressive. Since Fenty’s launch, lines that still do not offer a wide range of shades and price points are doing so at their peril. What’s more, the fact that a designer heritage brand like Dior is on board suggests that the beauty industry is entering a time of reckoning, a time where beauty brands—even iconic names like Dior—can no longer afford to be skin color- or cost-exclusive in their offerings.
