At first foundation shades were sold there, it has since expanded to other products like lip gloss, lipstick, body glitter, and other products were also added.

Rihanna has an estimated 15% stake in the company that values $3 billion, and she joined with LVMH again in 2019 in order to launch Fenty, a new high-fashion house that is based in Paris.
