KYLIE JENNER – KYLIE COSMETICS & KYLIE SKIN

Barbadian singer Rihanna established Fenty Beauty in 2017, and the brand features a variety of shades, 50 to be precise, which garnered rave reviews. Time Magazine even named it the "invention of the year" in 2017.

The billionaire even made concealing, contouring, and highlighting easier with her matchstick trio. She then expanded her aesthetic empire by launching Fenty Skin, an inclusive skincare line.

JESSICA ALBA – HONEST BEAUTY

Jessica Alba founded her multimillion-dollar business called The Honest Company, the umbrella of her makeup and beauty line, in 2011. She swears by the 2-in-1 mascara and primer combo.

VICTORIA BECKHAM – VICTORIA BECKHAM BEAUTY

English native Victoria Beckham remains a force to be reckoned with. Being a trailblazer in the fashion business, she went on to launch Victoria Beckham Beauty in 2019.

Beckham’s smoky eye palette is a definite go-to. The brand features great color cosmetics and scientifically sophisticated skincare products that are a bit pricey, but some of her makeup is less expensive.
