Essence Corp adds dazzle to Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty launch in the Caribbean with
Master Classes and Gala VIP Party in Barbados
Superstar performer and business woman Rihanna has brought her smash hit Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin to her Caribbean homeland, with the help of Miami-based Essence Corp.
Following an unprecedented 9-island simultaneous launch at the end of October, Essence Corp and Kendo Brands, the LVMH-owned beauty developer overseeing the brand’s global development, held a series of events in Barbados — two Master Classes by Rihanna’s personal makeup artist and Global Makeup Artist for Fenty Beauty, Priscilla Ono; a special dinner for the Caribbean retailers launching the brand; a tour of the island — where Rihanna is considered a National Treasure; culminating at an incredible VIP Party with a personal appearance by the super star herself.
“To bring Fenty Beauty, Fenty Skin and Fenty Eau de Parfum to the Caribbean is a dream come true. This is a humbling moment for this island gyal!” commented Rihanna.
“I am so excited to FINALLY bring Fenty Beauty, Skin and Fragrance brands to the Caribbean. I know the community has been waiting a long time and we can’t wait for you to experience the brand and try the products in a place that’s near and dear to my heart.”
