In the early 2000s, it felt like every celebrity had a fragrance. From Britney Spears to Jennifer Lopez to Paris Hilton, there was an iconic celebrity scent that you just have to have to be cool. Now, it’s the era of celeb-owned beauty brands, and they’re taking over faster than you can say “contour.”
Last year was all about Hailey Bieber’s Rhode, Kim Kardashian’s SKKN BY KIM, Scarlett Johansson’s The Outnet, and, surprise, Brad Pitt’s Le Domaine. This year, the trend continues and despite whispers of the ‘death of the celebrity beauty brand,’ our favourite stars are still churning brands out like ice cream and we’re lapping them up!
