In keeping with her mission to make Fenty Beauty accessible and suitable for everyone, Rihanna recently comforted a fan on Instagram, who thought her lips were too big for the brand’s new red lipstick, Stunna Lip Paint.
The heartwarming moment occurred when Grace Boye, a 20-year-old college student from California, commented on a Fenty Beauty Instagram post about how people have told her that her lips are “too big” for red lipstick.”I want to try this out soo bad. I’ve been told red doesn’t suit me…my lips are too big,” Boye wrote.
Immediately after posting her comment, Boye was met with a wave of support from Fenty Beauty fans, who assured her that her lips are perfect and that she would slay in the just-released color. Fenty Beauty also chimed in, reiterating its mission to provide inclusive beauty products. “this red lipstick is for EVERYONE,” the brand commented, alongside five emojis of women with different skin shades.
