In her previous interview with Instyle magazine, the award-winning singer spoke about transforming from being a shy Barbadian to a global sensation. Before her Fenty Beauty release, the "Believe It" songstress shared that beauty and cosmetics have always been part of her life, especially her career and image.

"I wanted to do a line for years, but it needed to be credible, something that industry pros and girls around the world would respect," she mentioned.

Her brand became famous when she unveiled a wide range of foundation shades. With this, she revealed the reason why she came up with such an idea.

The eight-time Grammy winner explained that shades are essential because she "wanted everyone to feel included" and celebrate their uniqueness and individuality. She also mentioned that they started off creating a foundation "because it's the very first makeup product I fell in love with."
