30-Day Return and Refund Complaints
Fenty Beauty's refund policy says customers can use free prepaid returns for U.S. orders within 30 days of purchase. Refunds are issued to the original payment method and do not include the original shipping charge. The policy says Fenty accepts returns only for items purchased on FentyBeauty.com and FentySkin.com; items bought from authorized retailers must be returned through the retailer.

Damaged, Missing, Wrong Item, and Shipping-Protection Complaints
Fenty's returns app lets customers start a return or file a shipping-protection claim. Shipping and damaged-item complaints should include photos and tracking evidence.
For shipping and product complaints, include:
| Problem |
Evidence |
| Package not received |
Tracking, delivery address, carrier status |

| International duties/taxes |

Fenty's shipping information says original shipping, duties, taxes, and fees are not refunded. If duties and taxes were charged at checkout and the purchase is being returned, Fenty says customers may be eligible for all or part of the duties/taxes refund and should contact the local customs office for information.
Authorized Retailer and Marketplace Complaints
Fenty's website return policy applies to FentyBeauty.com and FentySkin.com direct orders. Retailer and marketplace purchases use the seller's policy.

If a retailer purchase involves product quality or reaction, contact the retailer for refund/return handling and Fenty for product-quality or safety routing if needed.
Fenty's FAQ says if a customer received a free product or free gift with purchase, the free item must be included in the return shipment to receive a refund in the original form of payment.
For promotion and gift complaints, include:
| Issue |

FSA/HSA Eligible Product Complaints
Fenty's FSA/HSA page says sunscreens with SPF 15+ are eligible for reimbursement at Fenty Beauty and product pages are badged when they align with most eligibility lists. The page says Fenty does not accept FSA or HSA debit cards directly; customers should use a credit or debit card, then submit the receipt and any required documentation to the benefits provider.
For FSA/HSA complaints, include:
| Issue |
Evidence |
| Need reimbursement receipt |
Order confirmation email and product page |
| Benefit administrator denied claim |
Denial reason and product details |
| Return of reimbursed item |
Benefit provider instructions and return record |
| Same-day delivery fee question |

Fenty says customers should check with their benefits administrator for product eligibility and any action needed when returning an FSA/HSA-reimbursed item.
Privacy, SMS, and Account Data Complaints
Fenty's site links to Privacy, Terms of Use, Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information, Accessibility, and SMS/email marketing terms. Privacy and account data complaints should be handled separately from product returns.
Common requests include:
| Request |

| Do Not Sell or Share |

Save order, return, and refund evidence before asking for deletion if an unresolved complaint depends on those records.
Product Quality and Reaction Complaints
Fenty Beauty, Fenty Skin, and Fenty Hair products can involve shade, texture, fragrance, skin sensitivity, hair response, packaging, and product condition. Product complaints should separate dissatisfaction from safety or reaction concerns.
For product quality or reaction complaints, include:
- product name and shade
- order number or retailer receipt
- purchase date
- date first used
- product condition
- photos if appropriate
- reaction or concern
- whether use was stopped
- whether professional care was sought
- requested support response
If a product causes a concerning reaction, stop use and contact an appropriate healthcare professional before focusing on refund or return details.
