8 Sibling-Owned Beauty Brands That May Inspire You to Start a Business With Your Fam

Nudestix products were made for the girl (or guy) on the go. All of its products are made in — what else — a stick formula for easy application and blending. The sticks are portable and, even better, give your skin the "your skin but better" look that's totally trending right now. The brand was founded by sisters Taylor and Ally Frankel, under the guidance of their mother, Jenny, who is an industry veteran. (She is a cosmetic engineer who was part of the team that founded Cover FX.)

For a perfect taste of what the brand has to offer, try out its Nudies All Over Face Color Sticks ($32), which come in three universally flattering shades. They all have a beautiful sheen that gives you a highlight that toes the line between glossy and kind of sweaty-looking, which is perfect if you're into the dewy vibes. Illuminaughty is a pearlescent shade, Hey Honey is a medium gold, and Brown Sugar Baby is a deep bronze. Use them to accent the high points of your face, as blush toppers, or underneath bronzers for a gorgeous all-over glow.

Ilia Beauty takes the best of natural and organic beauty and blends it with safe synthetics to create products that are both clean and functional. Founder Sasha Plavsic had a vision to start a makeup brand that is sustainable but doesn't sacrifice the quality of the products for the sake of being eco-friendly. She brought on her brother, Zac Ilia, to be her business partner and even used his name as the inspiration for the brand.

Ilia is known for its lip products, and it has a wide range of nude and neutral shades in its Tinted Lip Conditioner SPF 15 ($28). The formula is slick on the lips, somewhere in between a satin lipstick and tinted lip balm. It also delivers natural sunscreen to protect your pout against the Summer sun.

ColourPop was the first venture of Seed Beauty, which is the parent company founded by brother-sister duo John and Laura Nelson. (Seed Beauty is now the umbrella that houses KKW Beauty and Kylie Cosmetics.) ColourPop has become one of the most in-demand beauty brands on the market, known for creating high-performing products at an affordable price point. It has collaborated with some of the biggest beauty influencers, including Shayla Mitchell (aka makeupshayla), Bretman Rock, Karen Gonzalez (aka iluvsarahii), Kathleen Lights, and many more.

One of its new cult-favorite products is the Jelly Much Shadow ($6). It's a cream eye shadow that starts as a jelly texture and dries down completely budge-free. The color Once & Floral is a beautiful red-orange shade that has a metallic shift. You can use it as a bright accent on the center of your eyelid or smudge it up into your crease for a blown-out red smoky eye.

Few brands have taken the internet by storm as much as Huda Beauty has. Founder Huda Kattan is a beauty blogger turned mogul — who was named the wealthiest influencer on Instagram — who created her line after taking makeup classes and experimenting with different cosmetics. Huda Beauty has become known for being a high-quality, luxury brand, perfect for both makeup experts and novices alike. The business also stays in the family: Huda's older sister, Alya, was the brand's first investor, and her younger sister, Mona, is now the brand's global president.

It's no secret that its products run on the higher end of the price spectrum; a great way to try out its award-winning eye shadow formula is to get your hands on one of the Obsessions Palettes ($27). The color-themed palettes include a mix of cohesive matte, satin, and glitter shadows so you can create a variety of looks. Plus, the palettes are perfectly compact so you can take a couple of them on the go if you have to travel.

Every curly-haired beauty-lover needs affordable options for hairstyling, and that's where Miss Jessie's comes in. The brand was founded by sisters Miko and Titi Branch in 2004 to cater to all kinds of curly hair, from wavy to kinky, and has even been endorsed by Instagram queen Zendaya. The name of the brand was inspired by the girls' grandmother, who used to use various kitchen ingredients to create concoctions to tame their hair.

The Quick Curls ($17) cream can be applied to any kind of curly hair — either wet or dry — to help define the curls and add bounce and shine. All you have to do is run it through your hair quickly, and the cream does the rest of the work for you.

With constant makeup application comes the need for high-quality tools to get the perfect look. And though it's great to invest in luxury brushes and tools, it can get expensive to keep buying the high-end versions. But Real Techniques has made amazing makeup application tools accessible at the drugstore price point. Sisters and founders Sam and Nic Chapman used their extensive knowledge as beauty industry veterans to start up a joint YouTube channel that then helped them launch their brand.

The brand's Miracle Complexion Sponge ($8) is known as the best drugstore alternative to the Beautyblender. It's perfectly porous and plump to effortlessly blend out your makeup. The pointy end gets all of the hard-to-reach parts of your makeup, like your inner corner, and the flat side is great for baking with powder and blending out the wider parts of your face.

As the name suggests, Sisters Body was, in fact, founded by three sisters. Doni, Eva, and Jo Zasloff set out to create sustainable and nontoxic hair and body products that would work for themselves, as well as their loved ones. Not only do they create a great line of products, but they also donate 40 percent of all profits to organizations that support women's health. The business extends even further into their family, as their father, who is a biochemist and physician, helps formulate the products.

To get a full idea of what its product line is like, try out the Complete Set ($68), which includes its signature shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. All of the products can be used on your entire family, from the babies to the grandparents. It's full of essential oils for a beautiful smell that matches its nourishing formula.

After Sarah Kelly was diagnosed with breast cancer, her sister, Leah Robert (who is an oncology nurse), started doing more research about the ingredients that go into beauty products. The two of them had a newfound a passion for learning about beauty and the formulations of products. Sarah lost her hair during her chemotherapy and found that lipstick made her feel more confident, so she and Leah came together to found SaltyGirl Beauty.

All of SaltyGirl's face products are multisticks, which you can use on anything from your eyes to your cheeks to your lips. The Lindsey Multi Stick ($25) is a sheer plum wine color, which is flattering on a variety of skin tones. It gives off a very natural-looking dew that is perfect for the makeup-lover on the go.
