Rihanna and Fenty Beauty are taking the cosmetics world by storm.
However, it was recently discovered that not everyone was aware of exactly how the makeup brand got its name. The news, which we first read about on Refinery29, comes after several people took to Twitter to pose the question and discuss various theories.
One user pointed out that most of Rihanna's products — such as her makeup line and fashion collaboration with Puma— feature the word Fenty.
Why are all Rihanna's products called Fenty? Like her shoes and that as well

Just found out Fenty is Rihanna's surname and not just a made up word

— HENSLEY (@HensleyU) September 12, 2017On September 22, Rihanna herself shared a post in response that apparently gave anyone who was unaware the side eye. "When people ask how I came up with #FENTY@fentybeauty," she wrote on Instagram.
Just weeks after Fenty Beauty launched, on September 21 she announced that her cosmetics line would be releasing even more makeup soon.
In a series of Instagram posts, Rihanna and Fenty Beauty unveiled the brand's 12-piece holiday collection that seems to include an eyeshadow palette, four lip glosses, four lipsticks, and a trio of eyeliners. Each item will be available for purchase online and in Sephora stores on October 13, according to Fenty Beauty.
