Superstar Lady Gaga caused a sensation when she unveiled her Haus Laboratories beauty brand in July after months of speculation.

Her first-ever collection, which went on sale via Amazon in September, offered fans makeup kits containing lip gloss, lip liner and all-over colour, but the label has since branched out into eye liner and reusable stickers.

Kylie Jenner wasn’t exactly an unknown name in the beauty industry at the start of 2019 — her Kylie Cosmetics makeup brand is a cult favorite.

However, the entrepreneur branched out into skincare in May, when she announced the launch of a new Kylie Skin venture focusing on cruelty-free, vegan, gluten-free, paraben and sulfate-free skincare suitable for all skin types.
