## Should you buy this?

Fenty’s September 2026 successor to Pro Filt’r Soft Matte: a natural matte, medium-coverage foundation in 50 new shades, oil-free and waterproof by the brand’s description, at £35. Shade-match afresh; the range is new, not renamed.

Skip this if you want full coverage, SPF in your base, or long-term independent coverage of a formula — this launched in September 2026.

Fenty’s new natural-matte base, built to flex with expression — shade-match afresh rather than carrying over a Soft Matte number.

## The formula

Pro Filt’r Fluid Flex replaces the foundation Fenty Beauty launched with in 2017. The brand describes a flexible polymer blend made in Japan, colour-true pigments designed to resist oxidation and starfruit extract for shine control, in a natural matte finish with medium, buildable coverage.

Wear claims of up to 12 hours and resistance to sweat, humidity and transfer are the brand’s. The Cast Index has not wear-tested the foundation.

## Who it’s for

Oily and combination skin that wants a matte base with more movement than a full long-wear film, and anyone who wore Soft Matte and needs its successor.

## What should you check before buying?

The 50 shades are new rather than renamed Soft Matte shades, so match from scratch. As a September 2026 launch, independent coverage is still limited. There is no SPF, so wear a separate sunscreen.

## How to use it

1. Apply over a settled sunscreen
2. Blend a small amount from the centre of the face outwards
3. Build a second thin layer where more coverage is wanted
4. Remove thoroughly at night

## Questions and answers

### Is Fenty Fluid Flex replacing Pro Filt’r Soft Matte?

Yes. Fenty Beauty is retiring Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation, and Fluid Flex launched in September 2026 as the new Pro Filt’r foundation in 50 new shades.

### Can I use my Soft Matte shade number for Fluid Flex?

Not reliably. Fenty describes the 50 shades as all new, so compare undertone and depth afresh.

### Does Fenty Fluid Flex have SPF?

No. The UK page lists no SPF, so wear a separate sunscreen beneath it.
