EXHIBIT 3.2 Certificate Of The Designations, Powers, Preferences and Rights Of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company Dated August 28, 2001

CERTIFICATE OF THE DESIGNATIONS, POWERS, PREFERENCES AND RIGHTS OF SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK OF REVLON, INC. (Pursuant to Section 151 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) Revlon, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), hereby certifies that the following resolution was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company: RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority expressly granted to and vested in the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors") by the provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), there is hereby created, out of the 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company authorized in Article Fourth of the Certificate of Incorporation (the "Preferred Stock"), a series of the Preferred Stock consisting of 4,333 shares, which series shall have the following powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights, and the following qualifications, limitations and restrictions (in addition to any powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights, and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions, set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation which are applicable to the Preferred Stock): 1. Designation of Amount. ---------------------- The shares of Preferred Stock created hereby shall be designated the "Series B Convertible Preferred Stock" (the "Series B Preferred Stock") and the authorized number of shares constituting such series shall be 4,333. 2. Ranking; Term. -------------- a. The Series B Preferred Stock shall, with respect to rights to distributions upon the liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company, rank senior to all classes of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock") and to each other class or series of capital stock or other equity securities of the Company authorized, issued or otherwise established; provided, however, that the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7(b) hereof, may approve the authorization, issuance or establishment of a series of Preferred Stock the terms of which rank on a parity with or senior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends and distributions upon the liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company. (b) The Series B Preferred Stock shall be perpetual and may not be redeemed, purchased, retired or otherwise acquired by the Company unless such redemption, purchase, retirement or other acquisition by the Company 1

is expressly authorized herein and consummated in accordance with the provisions specified herein; provided, however, that the Company may, with the written consent of a holder of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, redeem, purchase, retire or otherwise acquire any or all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder. 3. Dividends --------- In the event any dividends are declared or paid or any other distribution is made on or with respect to the Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company ("Class A Common Stock"), the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock as of the record date established by the Board of Directors for such dividend or distribution on the Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends (the "Dividends") in an amount (whether in the form of cash, securities or other property) per share of Series B Preferred Stock, as if the Series B Preferred Stock had been converted into shares of Class A Common Stock as of the date immediately prior to the date for determining the holders of Class A Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, equal to the amount (and in the form) of the dividends declared or paid or distribution made on or with respect to each share of Class A Common Stock, such Dividends to be payable on the same payment date or distribution date as the dividend or distribution on the Class A Common Stock established by the Board of Directors. The record date for any such Dividends shall be the record date for the applicable dividend or distribution on the Class A Common Stock, and any such Dividends shall be payable to the persons in whose name the Series B Preferred Stock is registered at the close of business on the applicable record date. No dividend shall be paid or declared on any share of Class A Common Stock, unless a dividend, payable in the same consideration and manner, is simultaneously paid or declared, as the case may be, on each share of Series B Preferred Stock in an amount determined as set forth in paragraph (a) above. For purposes hereof, the term "dividends" shall include any pro rata distribution by the Company of cash, property, securities (including, but not limited to, rights, warrants or options) or other property or assets to the holders of the Class A Common Stock, whether or not paid out of capital, surplus or earnings. 2

4. Liquidation Preference. ----------------------- In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (a "Liquidation"), the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to receive out of the available assets of the Company, whether such assets are stated capital or surplus of any nature, an amount on such date equal to $720.0554 per share of Series B Preferred Stock plus the amount of any declared but unpaid Dividends as of such date (the "Liquidation Preference"). Such payment shall be made before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of any class or series of the Common Stock or any other class or series of the Company's capital stock ranking junior as to liquidation rights to the Series B Preferred Stock. If upon any Liquidation the assets available for payment of the Liquidation Preference are insufficient to permit the payment to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock of the full preferential amounts described in this Section 4, then all the available assets shall be distributed among the holders of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the then outstanding shares of capital stock ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to distributions upon Liquidation, pro rata according to the number of then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and then outstanding shares of parity stock held by each holder thereof. 5. Optional Redemption by Company. ------------------------------- a. At any time after thirty (30) days following the Requisite Stockholder Approval (as defined herein), the Company may, in accordance with the provisions of Section 5(b) hereof, redeem all or any part of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock for cash at a redemption price equal to the Liquidation Preference thereof as of such date. b. In order to exercise its right of optional redemption, the Company shall, not more than ninety (90) nor less than sixty (60) days prior to the redemption date, give to each holder of record of the Series B Preferred Stock, at such holder's address as it shall appear upon the stock register of the Company on such date, notice by first class mail, postage prepaid. Each such notice of redemption shall be irrevocable and shall specify the date that is the redemption date (the "Optional Redemption Date"), the redemption price, the identification of the shares to be redeemed, the place or places of payment and that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of the certificate(s) evidencing the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed. c. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall retain their right to convert such shares pursuant to Section 8 hereof until the close of business on the last Business Day preceding the Optional Redemption Date. 6. Restricted Payments; Status of Redeemed Shares. ----------------------------------------------- (a) After the Optional Redemption Date, unless and until the full redemption price for the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed has been paid to, or set aside in trust with a bank or trust company, (i) no dividends or other distribution shall be paid or declared or set aside for payment on any capital stock or other securities of the Company (other than dividends payable in Common Stock), and (ii) no shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company or any Subsidiary shall be redeemed, retired, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any 3

payment made to or available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such shares) by the Company. (b) Any shares of Series B Preferred Stock which shall at any time have been redeemed pursuant to Section 5 hereof shall, after such redemption, have the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to series. 7. Voting Rights. -------------- (a) The holders of outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock: (i) shall be entitled to vote together with the holders of the Common Stock as a single class on all matters submitted for a vote of holders of Common Stock; (ii) shall have such other voting rights as are specified in the Certificate of Incorporation or as otherwise provided by Delaware law; and (iii) shall be entitled to receive notice of any meeting of the stockholders of the Company in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company. For purposes of the voting rights set forth in this Section 7(a), each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to cast one vote for each whole vote that such holder would be entitled to cast had such holder converted its Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock as of the date immediately prior to the record date for determining the stockholders of the Company eligible to vote on any such matter. (b) In addition to the other voting rights set forth herein, so long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Company shall not, without the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock voting separately as one class, (i) amend, alter or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation, combination, reclassification or otherwise, the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the Company or any provisions thereof (including the adoption of a new provision thereof) if such amendment, alteration or repeal would adversely alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series B Preferred Stock, (ii) create, authorize or issue any class, series or shares of Preferred Stock or any other class or series of capital stock or other equity securities of the Company ranking either as to payment of dividends or distribution of assets upon Liquidation (x) prior to the Series B Preferred Stock or (y) on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock, or (iii) undertake any action (x) the valid consummation of which would require the approval of the Company's stockholders pursuant to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or as required by applicable law and (y) the direct or indirect result of which would adversely affect or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series B Preferred Stock. The vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, voting separately as one class, shall be necessary to adopt any alteration, amendment or repeal of this Section 7, in addition to any other vote of stockholders required by law. 8. Conversion Rights. ------------------ a. Conversion Upon Obtaining Requisite Stockholder Approval. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 8, upon receipt of Requisite Stockholder Approval, each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible into a number of shares of Class A Common Stock 4

determined by dividing (x) the Liquidation Preference of such Series B Preferred Stock as of the Conversion Date (as defined herein) by (y) the Conversion Price (as defined herein) in effect at the close of business on the Conversion Date (determined as provided in this Section 8). b. Conversion Price. The conversion price (the "Conversion Price") shall initially be $7.20, subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with Section 8(c). c. Adjustments to Conversion Price. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: i. Upon Stock Dividends, Subdivisions or Split -Ups, or Combinations. If, at any time after the original date of issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock (the "Issue Date"), the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding is (x) increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Class A Common Stock or by a subdivision or split-up of shares of Class A Common Stock, or (y) decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Class A Common Stock, then, following the record date for the determination of holders of Class A Common Stock entitled to receive such stock dividend, or to be affected by such subdivision or split-up or combination, the Conversion Price shall be appropriately decreased (in the case of a stock dividend, subdivision or split-up) or increased (in the case of a combination) so that the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock shall be increased (in the case of a stock dividend, subdivision or split-up) or decreased (in the case of a combination) in proportion to such increase or decrease, as the case may be, in outstanding shares. ii. Upon Reclassifications, Reorganizations, Consolidations or Mergers. In the event of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the stock of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (where the Company is not the surviving corporation or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock), each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger be convertible into the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company or of the successor corporation resulting from such consolidation or surviving such merger, if any, to which the holder of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of such Series B Preferred Stock (had such conversion taken place immediately prior to the time of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger) would have been entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger. The provisions of this clause shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations or mergers. d. Fractions of Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. If any such conversion would otherwise require the issuance of a fractional share of Class A Common Stock, an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the current Market Price (as defined herein) per share of Class A Common Stock on the Conversion Date shall be paid to the holder in cash by the Company. 5

e. Exercise of Conversion Privilege. Upon obtaining Requisite Stockholder Approval, the following procedures would apply: (i) To convert shares of Series B Preferred Stock, a holder must (A) surrender the certificate or certificates evidencing such holder's shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be converted, duly endorsed in a form satisfactory to the Company, at the office of the Company and (B) notify the Company at such office that such holder elects to convert shares of Series B Preferred Stock and the number of shares such holder wishes to convert. Such notice (the "Conversion Notice") referred to in clause (B) above shall be delivered substantially in the following form: "NOTICE TO EXERCISE CONVERSION RIGHT The undersigned, being a holder of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of Revlon, Inc. irrevocably exercises the right to convert ____________ outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock on ___________, ____, into shares of Class A Common Stock of Revlon, Inc., in accordance with the terms of the shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, and directs that the shares issuable and deliverable upon the conversion be issued and delivered in the denominations indicated below to the registered holder hereof unless a different name has been indicated below. Dated: [At least one Business Day prior to the date fixed for conversion] Fill in for registration of shares of Class A Common Stock if to be issued otherwise than to the registered holder: Name Address Please print name and (Signature) address, including postal code number Denominations:_________" (ii)Series B Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the day (the "Conversion Date") of surrender of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock for conversion in accordance with the foregoing provisions and at such time the rights of 6

the holders of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock as holder shall cease, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Class A Common Stock as and after such time. As promptly as practicable on or after the Conversion Date, the Company shall issue and shall deliver at any office or agency of the Company maintained for the surrender of Series B Preferred Stock a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 8(d). In the case of any certificate evidencing shares of Series B Preferred Stock which is converted in part only, upon such conversion the Company shall execute and deliver a new certificate representing an aggregate number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock equal to the unconverted portion of such certificate. f. Company to Reserve Series A Preferred Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, out of the authorized but unissued Class A Common Stock or out of the Class A Common Stock held in treasury, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of Series B Preferred Stock, the full number of shares of Class A Common Stock then issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Before taking any action that would cause the number of shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock to exceed (when taken together with all other outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that the Company is authorized to issue, the Company will take any corporate action that, in the opinion of its counsel, is necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue the full number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. g. Taxes on Conversions. The Company will pay any and all original issuance, transfer, stamp and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock on conversion of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant hereto. h. Cancellation of Converted Series B Preferred Stock. All Series B Preferred Stock delivered for conversion shall be delivered to the Company to be cancelled and shall have the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to series. i. Certain Definitions. The following terms shall have the following respective meanings herein: "Market Price" means, on any date, the amount per share of the Class A Common Stock, equal to the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") on such date as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. (or by such other Person as the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Company may agree). "Person" means an individual or a corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, limited liability company, joint venture, joint stock company, government (or an agency or political subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind. 7

"Requisite Stockholder Approval" means (i) the approval by the stockholders of the Company required by the corporate governance rules of the NYSE, or any applicable law, to permit the conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock or (ii) the delivery of an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the holders of two-thirds of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock that such approval by stockholders is not required. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Certificate of Designations to be signed by Robert K. Kretzman, its Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, and attested by Michael T.
