Say Goodbye To Fenty's Original Pro Filt'r Foundation! | BiancaReneeToday
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
Bianca Renee introduces the new Fenty Beauty Pro Fil'ter Fluid Flex Foundation, marking a significant shift as it replaces the brand's original best-seller. She explains that while her skin has changed from being oily and acne-prone to more balanced as she ages into motherhood, she still prefers a matte finish. The original foundation, famous for breaking beauty boundaries with its extensive shade range, is no longer in production, making this new formula the latest addition to the lineup. This updated version features a completely new recipe and comes in 50 shades, offering a broader spectrum that includes more neutral undertones to better suit various skin tones compared to the previous warm-heavy palette.
The application process highlights several key innovations, starting with the unique packaging and the specialized brush designed to work directly with the product. Bianca notes that unlike traditional foundations, this one does not require a primer, allowing users to apply it straight from the bottle for a lightweight feel. She emphasizes the importance of letting the foundation "dry down" after application, similar to paint on a wall, as the initial wet look may appear shiny or slightly off-color before settling into a perfect match. The formula is described as fluid and flexible, moving with facial expressions throughout the day while maintaining waterproof properties that keep it in place even during hot weather or emotional moments like crying.
After testing the product for several hours, including time spent outdoors in 100-degree heat, Bianca concludes that the foundation delivers a natural, modern matte finish without looking cakey or heavy. Although she initially felt her pores were more visible without a primer, the final result after the product set was a soft, glowy complexion that minimized shine effectively. She praises the color accuracy of the 50-shade range and the luxurious glass bottle design, noting that while it may not provide the full coverage some prefer for special occasions, it is an excellent choice for everyday wear. Ultimately, she recommends the foundation as a versatile option for moms and others seeking a durable, inclusive product that adapts to various temperatures and activities without compromising on finish or longevity.

It's foundation Friday. Wow, I haven't
said that in so long. If you are new
here, welcome. I'm Bianca Renee and
you're watching Beyonce Renee today. But
if you are an OG, you know I used to do
foundation reviews every Friday on my
very oily, acne prone skin. Since then,
my skin has changed being a mom getting
older. I'm not as oily as I used to be
and I've gotten acne under control, but
I do like a good matte foundation. So,
I'm excited today to be trying a natural
matte foundation and to be one of the
first to try this natural matte
foundation by Fenty Beauty. This is the
new Fenty Beauty Pro Fil'ter Fluid Flex
Foundation, and this is actually
replacing the original Pro Fil'ter
Foundation that Fenty made, the one that
like broke all beauty boundaries by
having the widest shade range ever.
Well, now that's actually gone. So, if
you see it on sale or I don't know if
it's going to be at a TJ Maxx or
something, the reason why is because
it's it's done. They're not making
anymore. This is the new mama in town
and she comes in 50 shades and it's a
completely new formula. So, without
further ado, let me show you exactly how
I applied this new foundation and how I
use this brush on my semi oily skin.
Now, skin prep is apparently a very big
part of our routine. We got some goodies
at the Fenty event. So, I have the Fenty
Hydrovisisor. Never tried that. I have
the new foundation brush. And of course,
the star of the show, the foundation,
which I have already used once before.
So, this will be my second impression.
Let's start off with this one.
Oh, okay. So, apparently these are
tinted moisturizers, but this one is
just like the non color moisturizer, but
you could get them in your skin tone.
So, it's pretty cool. You could just buy
like a refillable one and then just pop
it in there. Cute. Oh, it's like pink.
Okay. See how this does. Now, the makeup
artist said to not forget the brows, so
I'm going to get some moisturizer in
there, too. Under the eyes,
skin prep. Now, they also said that this
foundation doesn't need a primer. I
usually always use a primer, and I did
the first time. So, today, let's try it
all on its own. No primer. Main thing
they said was to shake it up so that the
product can really get all mixed in, get
all the pigments everywhere. I am the
color 426W,
which is warm. Now, the original Fenty
Pro foundation, everybody was saying was
everything was too warm and everybody
was getting a little orange. And if I do
think back to my first Fenty video, I
was a little on the orangey, very warm
side. [laughter]
But then here I am getting warm again.
So maybe I'm just a warm girl. I'm a
Kelly girl. What can I say? And now
let's get the Fenty Beauty, what's your
actual name? Fluid Flex foundation
brush. Apparently, this brush is
supposed to be the greatest brush in the
game. Supposed to change my life. Let's
see. Very cute. This little pink color.
And as you can see, it has this little
like divot. So, you're supposed to pump
directly onto the brush. Most people
like to warm it up, put it on their
face, whatever. But I'm going to try to
do what they say today and just follow
all the instructions. And they also said
to do one pump. I like full coverage,
but we'll start with one pump and see
how we do. So, let's take a good look at
the skin. I have very large pores. Have
a couple little dark spots here.
Here. Let's check the coverage. I really
like the packaging. It feels like a
perfume where it's like a thick, heavy
glass bottle. One pump. Okay, here we
go. No primer is crazy.
It's very, very soft.
Ooh.
Fenty also mentioned that when it comes
to foundation, you want to see the dry
down. So, just like when you're painting
your room or your house, you put it on
and you let the paint dry to see the
actual color. So, even if you go on
first and you don't see like an exact
match, let it dry down a little bit and
you should see it should be like a
perfect match. Yeah, this is good. I
actually need a mirror instead of
looking into the camera. I'm add a
little more. All right, let's do half
and half so we get a good side by side.
So, they call it a fluid flex foundation
because it's supposed to be fluid and
flexible as you make expressions
throughout the day. It's supposed to be
waterproof, so even if you cry, it
should stay in place. I'm going in with
another pump just for some more
coverage. And it's supposed to move with
you. Now, on my first impression, I did
wear this on a day that was 100° at a
baby shower that was outside, so I was
hot and sweaty, but it still did a
really good job, as you can see from the
start of the day to the end of the day.
So, I will say looking up closely, I'm
kind of wishing I used a primer. I see a
lot of my pores today more than I think
I did the first time I used this with a
primer. I'm going to go with another
pump to see if we can get a little more
coverage. And you also can use this in
place of your concealer, but I'm a
concealer girl. I got really dark
circles, so I'm going to need my
concealer on top as well. So, as you can
see, one side versus the other. The
color match is spot-on, and it's such a
natural finish. So, they're calling this
a modern matte. So, not too matte where
you're just like chocked dry, but still
looks like skin before
after. So, if you're someone that
doesn't like to wear a lot of foundation
or you're more of a skin tinted
moisturizer, this could be a good option
for you. Let's go ahead and do the full
face. Another pump.
The brush is really soft. So, I can see
why they would call this like a pro
filter because it is kind of just like
like my skin but better. I'm not getting
the crazy full coverage that I usually
prefer, but this could be a good like
everyday foundation when I don't want to
be full glam. Okay, so that is about two
and a halfish pumps on each side. Skin
is very glowy, natural looking. I'm
getting coverage, but it's not looking
like heavy and cakey. It also feels very
lightweight. Let's add a couple more
Fenty favorites. So, I do have the Fenty
concealer. I am the color
330W.
I'm just a warm girl, aren't I? Sorry, I
still conceal like a millennial where I
put more than I'm supposed to, but your
girl's tired. Okay, I got three kids.
Okay, concealer on. Brows did. Let's add
in some Fenty blush. This is the Shake
and Play Buildable Liquid Blush, Whipped
Berry Whip number three. It's super
pigmented. And you just do a little dot
dot dot dot. And then going to blend
this out. Now, let me finish the rest of
my face.
And I'm back. Wow, much better. If only
the snap actually was that quick. Cuz to
be honest, I've now been wearing this
makeup for about 3 hours. Filming
foundation Fridays as a mom is very
different. But now that I'm back, I'm
actually glad that I let it sit for a
little bit because just like they said,
the dry down really makes a difference.
At first, I was feeling like I wasn't
getting too much coverage and it was a
little shiny, but now that it's dried
down, it kind of has dried to a very
nice soft matte finish without having to
add powder. What do I think? I think the
color match is literally perfect. I
mean, what do you expect from having 50
shades? If you can't find your shade and
you have 50 shades to choose from, I
don't know what to tell you. So, I had
the opportunity of going to a Fenty
Beauty YouTube shopping event where I
got to learn all about the foundation,
get shade matched, and then leave with
one of the first bottles of the product.
And I really enjoyed the Fenty Beauty
event because they took the time to
educate us on the product, which you
guys know I love learning about the
ingredients of a product, why it's going
to work, and why you should even think
about buying it. Well, I'm happy to
announce that this new foundation does
not oxidize, which is a big deal. And
they've added more neutral tones instead
of just warm. So now it really should be
a better shade match for everybody. This
foundation is very luxe. It comes in
like this glass bottle. It looks really
cute. And the retail value is $48.
They've also released a new brush. And
this brush is $36. I really enjoyed
learning all about this foundation. So,
let me show you a sneak peek of what
they said inside this exclusive YouTube
shopping event. I don't know if you've
ever heard of the Fenty effect. This is
why I wanted to work for Fenty because
it really pushed the rest of the
industry to catch up with making sure
all of our shades were inclusive. And
that meant through undertones. That
meant through depth. That meant through
ensuring that everybody had the finish
that they want. Ensuring everybody had
the shade that they wanted. Not just in
foundation, but also in all of the rest
of our complexion products. Bana told
us, "Start from scratch." She was like,
"There's so much out there right now in
terms of technology that we can offer.
Start from scratch. Don't take something
old and reinvent it. I want something
brand new." So, it is new. It's not just
improved. Um, but it's been about 3
years in the making and it has been
based on consumer feedback of what
consumers wanted in terms of shades, in
terms of texture. It is essentially a
foundation that was built on everybody
here voicing what they wanted to see in
a foundation. So, I always love how
inclusive Fenty tries to be with an
entire inclusive shade range. And I do
want to let you guys know that the shade
range is completely different from the
original Pro Fil'ter foundation, meaning
new numbers and everything. So, because
they've added so many colors, all the
numbers would be out of order. So, you
are going to have to get reshade
matched. I would suggest in person like
at a Sephora or you can use their shade
matcher online which will show like a
chart to say okay if you were number two
something before and you might be four
something now. And because this is my
second time wearing it I can tell you
that it did last all day and kept my
shine at a minimum. I was out in the sun
in 100° weather. Should have been
sweating but my skin still looked fresh.
maybe like a little dewy, but still like
a more natural dew versus like
completely shiny melting off my face. I
do want to continue to experiment with
this foundation, see what I like better,
whether using it without a primer or
with with concealer, without, and just
kind of see what's going to be the best
combo for me. But overall, I really like
it. I feel like I would grab this for an
everyday makeup. I might do something
different for like a full going out
glam. But as a mom taking your kids to
and from school, taking them to swim
class in and out the house, changing
temperatures, watching Instagram videos
of people giving away money, and now I'm
crying. I'm going to need something
waterproof. Okay, I still got emotion.
So, I like the idea behind Rihanna also
being a mom and knowing like how much
our face moves throughout the day as a
mom. We could be happy, we could be
angry, like just a little movement. and
you want your foundation to be fluid
with all of your emotions. If you want
