Fenty Beauty has 7.9 million followers on Instagram.

Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty makeup line, which is part of the LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton empire, rang up sales of 500 million last year.

Kendo, an incubator making products retailed by LVMH’s Sephora perfumery chain and other outposts, signed on Rihanna in 2016. Her Fenty Beauty products generated sales north of $100 million in a matter of weeks and has been hailed as a transformative brand.

Rihanna’s Fenty fashion collection debuted in a pop-up store in Paris and online in May.
