Yes, it lives up to the hype.

When Rihanna announced that she was coming out with a beauty line, we knew something amazing was headed our way, but we didn't know just how important it would be until the launch on September 8. Rih blessed us not only with amazing highlighters, a gorgeously "universal" lip gloss, and beautiful shimmery skinstix, she also bestowed upon the world what is possibly THE most inclusive line of foundation that's been created thus far. The Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation line includes 40 (yeah, she did that) shades of foundation, for nearly every single shade and undertone. Folks who've previously had a hard time finding their shade are now able to find makeup that matches their skin tone with this inclusive beauty line — including people with albinism, like Krystal Robertson.

Robertson is a nurse with albinism (though looking at her Instagram feed, she looks like she may have missed her calling as a beauty writer) who recently tried out Fenty Beauty's Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation in shade 110, the second to lightest shade. She posted a glowing review to her Instagram which quickly went viral. In the photos, it's clear the foundation was basically made for her. She writes, "I'm freaking out!!! #110 #PerfextMatch 😂💯💯💯 #WhatSkin!!!! ...rethinking all the times I ended up orange 😀😀😀 its a new world great job @badgalriri 😍😍😍😍 #AlbinoMatch 😍💯" She also posted a review to a beauty group on Facebook, saying she didn't even realize she was as light as she was until she tried the foundation, and is thrilled her face now matches her neck. She also mentions loving the texture of the foundation, which she paired with the Fenty Primer.

Folks on Twitter are loving the inclusive shades in RiRi's line and are super supportive of people with albinism finally finding makeup that matches their skin. As for Robertson, she's been taking the virality of her posts in stride. She posted a hilarious request on Instagram and Facebook asking friends to make sure she has her hair done next time she goes viral, an has since been followed by Rihanna herself on Twitter. Try out Fenty Beauty's Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation ($34) exclusively at Sephora here.
