The best thing about running Fenty Beauty?  

“Getting free sh*t.”

Which achievement are you especially proud of?

“My kids. My edges. And my ability to sniff out people for exactly who they are, and what they are made of!”

How did you get Fenty Hair off the ground?

“I wanted a clean, vegan brand in environmentally friendly packaging with healthy hair and great styling results at the forefront. We took our time developing Replenicore-5 with some of the leading experts and most progressive chemists in the industry. This five-in-one proprietary complex lives in each product we’ve created to ensure hair repair in every step. We’ve also done extensive testing on every hair type imaginable. This obviously took years, but it was worth it.”

What’s on your mind for Savage X Fenty right now?

“Expansion! Savage isn’t just lingerie anymore. A lot of times, when people think of Savage, they see a brand that’s exclusive to lingerie, which we do very well, but Savage is more than that. Our goal is for Savage to be a part of every occasion! From the wildest lingerie to the simplest, cosiest everyday go-to pieces.”

Describe how beauty has been a form of self-expression in your life.

“It’s the exact place I go to express how I feel. My skin, hair, make-up will tell it all. My mood will usually speak for itself.”

Let’s talk business. You recently named a new CEO of Savage X Fenty. How’s that going?

“Well, I’m still THE BOSS, HAHA! But bringing on Hillary [Super] was crucial for the vision and goals that I have for this brand. We both possess the skill sets that are necessary, and, so far, we make a great team.”

What’s the best time of day?

“SLEEP!”

What did you learn from your parents and grandparents?

“Wow, so much! But they’re all very generous people, very loyal, God-fearing, and family always comes first!”

How do you embrace change?

“That’s actually the inspiration for the whole Fenty Hair line. I’m constantly changing my hair and need different products for different looks. I use everything from The Comeback Kid to The Controlling Type. Fenty Hair has allowed me to embrace the most flexible and fun hair journey.”

What beauty rituals have changed your life?

“Once you hit your mid-30s, you really start paying attention to wellness and self-care. And, as it pertains to beauty, it’s skin, hair and lymphatic massages for me right now.”

What makes you feel sexy?

“After having kids, a good bra is my new f*ckin’ anthem!”

What’s the last thing you should do before going to sleep?

“SET AN ALARM! But I’m always late anyway, so I should really just stop at my Fenty Skin Instant Reset Night Cream.”

What’s the first thing you should do when you wake up?

“What I SHOULD do is pray, stretch and prep my skin… But most days, I’m on IG, drinking a Coca-Cola and THEN prep my skin, brush my teeth, blah blah!”

What makes you feel energised?

“Sunlight and a double espresso… Martini.”
