10 Foundation Lines Besides Fenty Beauty With Stellar Foundation Ranges For Black Women
By Alexis Webb · Updated October 24, 2020

By now, we’ve all heard the stellar reviews and success stories about Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty. Though, sometimes having more than one option is necessary. While we celebrate the Rih for breaking barriers and representing brown girls of every hue, there are other companies with stellar foundation ranges.

The reasons for choosing another foundation line might simply be due to skin care challenges, or texture and finish preferences. Or maybe you just want to switch it up. Luckily there are a few brands out there that offer the color and versatility you’ve been searching for.

Want an amazing complexion? Want another option besides Fenty? Then check out the 10 cosmetic companies below.
