The celebrity beauty space is getting crowded, but that didn’t stop a host of new famous faces from entering the fray this year.
We take a look back at the stars who launched their own beauty brands in 2019.
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.
Actress Millie Bobby Brown made her first foray into the beauty business in August with Florence by Mills, a cruelty-free and vegan-certified brand spanning skincare and makeup.
Aimed at Generation Z beauty lovers, the initial range included nine skincare essentials and four makeup products, priced from $10 – $34 (R150 -R500).
Actress and TV host Tracee Ellis Ross unveiled big beauty plans in September, with the launch of her haircare brand Pattern.
The label specialises in products for people with curly, coily and textured hair, with a debut collection spanning shampoo, three targeted conditioners, a leave-in conditioner and two hair serums.
Former Spice Girl and fashion mogul Victoria Beckham launched her long-awaited Victoria Beckham Beauty brand in September, specialising in cruelty-free, ‘clean beauty’ solutions spanning makeup and skincare.
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.
