      Flight to quality and a reconsideration of need vs price. So many options at all price levels, but it's important to know what really works for oneself to know which products require a bigger spend sometimes.

    • @RubyBlueUwU

      Yeah I think that’s it. I respect the brand and think it’s good, but I don’t even bother looking because I know it’s more than I’m willing to pay for makeup. I own one fenty product that I got from TKMaxx, it was half its original price and still a splurge. I think for a while certain types of makeup lovers felt like it was a flex to have spent a small fortune on makeup, but that’s faded a lot and many people don’t have money. I also think many of the 2017-19 makeup lovers have probably gone from teens and/or young adults with a lot of disposable income to *adult* adults who maybe have more responsibilities and less time, who need to budget things over high end beauty products that realistically can be bought much cheaper.

    As a black woman who is consistently in the transition between medium and deep that a lot of brands jump over and also not being very warm or neutral (sometimes have to add blue color corrector to my foundations), it is hard to find a good match if it even exists in a lot of very popular and "inclusive" brands. One thing I know though is that even if I want to try something from different brands, I will always be able to go back to Fenty to find both quality and foundations that actually work for me in both the winter and summer. I cant say that about all brands. I think Fenty is just going to continue to be a staple that you can always go back to, kind of like how Mac is. That's especially true the darker your skin is.

      I agree that the brand will become a staple with its loyal customers. It may not be “edgy” or “viral” but out of all the brands I’m waiting to spend money on now that I’m working full time, Fenty and Rare Beauty are at the top of the list because I’ve never heard anything bad about the projects. Rihanna and Selena are the icing on the top.

    I think nowadays people think a brand is dying or 'boring' when they launch something and it's not immediately sold out or goes viral instantly. that's not really a sustainable goal to go viral or sell out EVERY time you launch something new. Ofcourse fenty sold out those first years, it's because they where new and it was rihanna! Now I feel like fenty has found it's flow and has established it's place in the beauty world and the need to constantly have the next greatest product isn't the goal anymore. Idk I just hate the way influencers/ people online act like a brand is failing if they don't hit max profits or come out with something new every week. I like it when brands take their time to think out a product and make sure it's good before launching it. It could just be me but when a brand launches something new every week I kind of get overwhelmed about how many choices I have, like with colourpop I get stressed out because they have so many collab launches that I just don't know how to choose and want to buy it all.

    • @nightgoddess9
      @nightgoddess9 23 วันที่ผ่านมา +19

      That highlighter they talked about not selling out. The minute I saw an influencer try that, it went to the top of my makeup wishlist. I want to contribute to sales I just gotta wait till I have a bit more disposable income 😅

    • @nicoler5713
      @nicoler5713 23 วันที่ผ่านมา +31

      Yeah, this is my thoughts. Did it really flop, or did it just not do the initial buzz numbers? We don't know enough about the behind the scenes to say whether those numbers are actually bad or just... stable.
      It reminds me of people being surprised that benefit are still around because the Internet doesn't talk about them that much. But benefit must be doing stable numbers, and they have those products that people - and especially those who wear makeup but aren't involved with the online beauty community - come back to again and again.
      I think being in the community, we kind of have a problem of seeing the forest for the trees. We think because these companies aren't being talked about by creators, aren't having tiktok viral moments, they must be in trouble. But beauty creators are such a small part of the "forest", so to speak.

      Especially given some brands manufacture scarcity by intentionally stocking a small amount of product. And/or saying it's limited edition. Fenty's products are staples for most people so they probably don't need to order low and reduce themselves to gimmicks to get sales.

    @anonymousperson2839 23 วันที่ผ่านมา +318

    I don't think people are bored with Fenty, I think it's just that the brand has been around for 7 years now, the novelty of celebrity makeup/skincare brands has worn off and many of Fenty's products are seen as staples. I think people now think of it as more of a brand for those staples like their foundation.
    I think people are also just generally tired of makeup brands in general as we've seen in the last few years people are moving away from makeup and going for skincare and fragrance instead. Add to the rising cost of living, and makeup getting more expensive, when people buy makeup now they're more likely to go for drugstore brands rather than more premium brands like Fenty.

    • @montananerd8244
      @montananerd8244 23 วันที่ผ่านมา +12

      Exactly! I buy most of my color makeup on the cheap, but I do invest in a few key products that are higher end. I don’t watch videos about them, I don’t buy related items, I just order as needed over and over. And as long as that product is available in the same formula, I prob won’t try other options. I’m not wasting $40 on tinted moisturizer I might not love, I’ll stick to my fave as long as I can. And creators are incentivized, directly and indirectly, to focus on new things or heavily marketed products.

    • @jenniboo9441
      @jenniboo9441 21 วันที่ผ่านมา +6

      Yep this is it. I used to exclusively shop at sephora for makeup. It took me feeling the financial strain caused by the recession and inflation to realize that the majority of the makeup I use can be bought at Walmart. And the quality is just as good. Things like eyeliner and mascara are honestly something I would *never* buy high end again. It's a waste of money. The only thing I still have to buy from a more expensive brand is BB cream and eyeshadow

    No one is bored with Fenty and even though her shade range in phenomanel, she markets to a specific demographic. People of color. A lot of White owned brands focus on eyeshadaows, brow and lip products where most black women focus on skin care, foundation, lip balms and very natural looking skin (Unless it's a special occation) Hense why Rihanna focuses on foundations, skin care and and looking fresh and glowy. I think she puts out products that she knows will be staples in people's collections and that's why she focuses on skin and healhty skin. How many eyeshadow declutters do you see? A lot, but with Foundations people tend to keep because when they find something that works they will keep rebuying. Rihanna knows what she is doing.

    I feel like in a way as well, not only with that par-asocial relationship, the prices for Fenty isn’t something that people can continually afford to pay. I feel like since people are struggling more, they have to go without more including things like makeup.

      Agreed. I think Fenty's inclusivity and success forced some more affordable brands to widen their shade ranges. When people go to repurchase and are on a budget, a lot may have chosen more affordable dupes. I think what they have done for the industry is a greater success than any individual product they will create.

    Fenty has wonderful staples of products, but I feel like the Fenty brand might be getting hit by the same judgement that Savage X Fenty holds due to the fast fashion practices… I feel like I had so much confidence in Rihanna’s involvement and advocacy- with both of her brands, especially as a plus size woman- but I’d be lying if I said that the SavageX reputation didn’t impact and make me question my views on Fenty overall :(

    As long as Fenty keeps making that contour stick in Amber Suede, they will ALWAYS be a part of my makeup routine.
    But I totally agree in the sense that they don’t have much of an online presence anymore and they’re definitely not shoving new products down our throats every week. I really appreciate that though because I’ll admit, I’m so over brands that are completely, 💯 relying on paying these influencers and sending them on these lavish trips to overly hype up every single product they come out with, regardless of whether or not it’s a good, solid product. I think while Fenty, like every other brand in 2024, definitely does their fair share of sending out PR to influencers and all that, they don’t seem to have a problem with allowing their products to speak for themselves.

    The downfall might also be because people are realising that her business practices are unethical (Savage x Fenty)?

That's just unhinged, not admirable and definitely NOT inclusive, no matter what kind of fashion show she puts on.

      It’s very clear how the subscription works and I don’t think it’s any brand’s fault customers don’t pay attention. It’s not even fine print, like it’s right there. If someone doesn’t read and then never notices $60 coming out of their account monthly they should simply care about their money more (especially if $60/month is enough to put them in debt!).

    As an MUA the inclusivity of the shade range is actually lacking. There are zero pink undertoned foundations. It’s frustrating to my clients because we then have move to other brands that may have a better foundation range but not a concealer range. The fenty foundations are different undertones of yellow, gold, and olive. Zero pink. And for my rosy complected clients it’s unmatchable. I think it’s due for a reformulation on the “cool” shades. 😉 would love love to see that!

      This makes sense. I’m a medium dark skin olive and can find foundations for winter/summer but most brands once they get to just before my depth, they stop making olive shades (if they have any at all anyway) as if darker skin people are only warm, cool, or neutral. It’s hard to find a good match even in the “inclusive” brand’s without adding blue color corrector to my foundation. If they don’t make good pinks I can understand that frustration when you’re just trying to find a good match.

    i remember when fenty launched, i literally went to the mall before it opened to get products. i never did that with makeup before, and still haven't!! like yes, rhianna was a huge part of my interest but the inclusivity of the foundation shade range was what sold me. at the time i was shopping exclusively cruelty-free so mac and nars weren't options i went for, plus the undertones just weren't as good for my (extremely lol) pale skin. it felt so good to find a shade, and have shades wayyy too light for me, and to know that people with deeper skin tones were FINALLY being represented. it's hard to replicate that feeling. even though i don't buy fenty a lot anymore since i don't wear foundation much and ever since covid my love for liquid lipsticks hasn't been the same (plus cheaper alternatives for other staples like mascara), i still have a lot of love and respect for it. i don't think fenty will go out of business because riri isn't releasing music/revolutionizing things, despite the "meh" feelings a lot of people have expressed.

We’re in a cost of living crisis, so people might really want these items but simply have to settle for drug store brands (which can also be great) so that surely must impact on how brands sell and when brands decide to launch new products. Maybe they’re recognising that people are settling for the basics just now, with the odd luxury now and then.

    As a black woman, I'll never lose interest in this brand. It is one of the very few brands where all around the world you can find shades for darker skinned women. I live in Lisbon, and every time I walk into a sephora, the only brand that has the range of shades that darker skinned women need is Fenty. Other brands are there also but are maybe way more expensive or the range is quite limited. We have some MAC stores as well but those are few and far between in town. I also know of black women who live in countries like South Korea where dark shades are nonexistent but because Fenty sells there, they are able to find their shade. The only downside, however, that keeps me from purchasing at the moment is indeed the prices and the current economic situation. If it wasn't for that I'd buy a lot more from Fenty, it's the first make up brand that I research when looking for products but sadly I find I'm unable to afford it at the moment so I go for the drugstore brands.

    I really feel the craziness of buying everything as soon as it comes out has calmed down. I think we’re going back to pre 2016 and we’re focussing on quality not quantity. Think of the style trends for makeup it’s been more paired down, more neutral not as heavy. So the desire for every single colour of eyeshadow and the search for the heaviest base products has lessened.
    I myself have seen this change in my own spending habits.
    I want the best. I want a different look. I’ve only purchased eyeshadow palettes from Pat McGrath in the last 2 years. I find them the best and I don’t need 1000 shades anymore.
