It has since become the most buzzworthy makeup up brand in South Africa to offer a foundation in an extensive array of skin tones. Despite its brief existence, that this approach resonated well not only with people of colour who felt that their makeup needs were unmet, but industry experts alike wasn’t something hard to see; there are numbers too for the local market to prove that it’s is growing in leaps and bounds in the motherland. “We are number one social brand in terms of impressions in South Africa, with the highest number of influencers and the highest number of posts,” Nokwanda Zungu, Fenty (South Africa) marketing manager said while addressing the crowd on the day.
