A Beginner's Guide to the Best of Fenty Beauty

There are plenty of reasons to get into the Fenty Beauty Flypencil Longwear Pencil Eyeliner ($22). First, the color range has the standby shades (black, brown) you need — and unconventional hues such as matte pink, pale gray, and coral. Just as impressive, the twist-up tip glides smoothly to deposit a creamy, water-resistant formula that lasts all day.

Skeptical that a single mascara can deliver all of your lash-enhancing needs? Swipe on Fenty Beauty Full Frontal Volume, Lift & Curl Mascara ($24), and you'll become a true believer. Its multitasking wand has a flat side to define and curl and a fat side to lift and add volume. So whether your makeup goal is to separate, define, lengthen, curl, or plump, this is the one that does it all.

Must matte lip color leave its wearer with flaky, parched lips? Not so with the formula of Fenty Beauty Mattemoiselle Plush Matte Lipstick ($18). It provides satisfyingly rich pigment without the not-so-cute side effects of most matte formulas — which means you can wear these in the coldest months of the year without stressing about chapped lips.

Can't decide which Mattemoiselle to try? Here's your solution: Fenty Beauty Two Lil Mattemoiselles ($19), two diminutive lipsticks with all of the qualities of the larger lipsticks. This duo includes Spanked, a wear-everywhere rose, and Griselda, a statement wine.

Perfect for travel or stealthy subway touch-ups, the Fenty Beauty Portable Contour & Concealer Brush 150 ($24) is a must-have item for expert contour blending. Soft synthetic bristles help create an airbrushed finish, while the retractable brush nestles neatly into a magnetic cap.

It says something that in the age of matte lipstick, Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer ($19) has become exceptionally popular. This hypershiny gloss is smooth and never sticky, and its three shades flatter all skin tones. Wear it alone to make your lips look fuller or wear it on top of lipstick for extra dimension — but once you slick it on your lips, you'll wear it all the time.

The foundation that changed everything: Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation ($35). Now available in 50 shades, from the fairest porcelain to the richest brown, this full-coverage base imparts a velvety finish.

Is it a cream? A powder? Fenty Beauty Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter ($36) is a hybrid of both. This illuminator is made for the face and eyes, adding buildable pigment and subtle shimmer wherever you need it. Insider tip: this golden shade, Trophy Wife, is the fan favorite.

You can use Fenty Beauty Match Stix Shimmer Skinstick ($25) as a blush, highlighter, eyeshadow — anything you please, really. Buff it in with fingers or a soft brush, then marvel at how the creamy formula feels like nothing at all on your skin. (Looking for extra credit? Try layering different shades.)

Fenty Beauty Diamond Bomb All-Over Diamond Veil ($39) is another legendary Fenty creation whose reputation precedes it. The immensely popular jelly powder formula lets you sparkle from head to toe, covering skin with a stay-put dusting that looks like a million bucks. Rihanna uses it on her eyelids, collarbones, arms, cheeks . . . anywhere that needs a crystalline boost of sparkle.
