Celebrity Beauty Brands Are (Still) Popping Up Left and Right

Celebrity fragrances were once the move, but these days, it seems like everybody who's anybody has their own beauty brand. Becky G? Check. Lori Harvey? Double check. Harry Styles? Check, again. In just the last year alone, more than 19 new makeup, skin-care, and hair-care brands popped up under the names of A-listers, and we didn't even have to bet our entire makeup stash that the trend would continue into 2022.

This uptick in celebrity-owned brands started in 2020, when Jennifer Lopez and Halsey launched their own companies just five days into the new year. Then, it continued in full speed. We saw plenty of other big names branch out into the beauty space in the following months, including OAM Skin from Ciara; Golf le Fleur, the nail and perfume brand from Tyler the Creator; Know Beauty, a joint brand by Vanessa Hudgens and Madison Beer; and Anomaly, a hair-care brand from Priyanka Chopra Jonas. Oh, and stars like Cardi B and Kris Jenner have all filed trademarks for their own beauty brands.

We're keeping our ears open and our eyes peeled for hints from our favorite celebrities. (We're looking at you, Zendaya.) In the meantime, keep scrolling to study up on the latest celebrity beauty brands of 2022.

Peyton List

In January, Peyton List launched Pley Beauty, which she'd been working on for two years. The company carries color cosmetics products, such as eyeliners, eyeshadow palettes, lipsticks, and more. "It was crazy, because even when the whole world was shut down and it felt like I had no idea what would happen with filming and everything else, I was still meeting and developing this beauty brand," List previously told POPSUGAR. Her brand is for "people that love beauty and love expressing themselves but also care about their impact [on the world] and the environment."

In January, Marsai Martin hinted seemingly out of the blue of a forthcoming namesake brand called Mari by Marsai via Instagram. By February, she'd launched a range of press-on nails featuring both on-trend nail-art designs and single-color (but immensely flattering) options. Each one costs $20 to $22, with names like CEO, Sai, Sips Tea, Quiet on Set, Rich as Cream, and Ms. Minimalist.

La La Anthony launched her hair-care brand, Inala, in February. The line's star product is a hair-growth serum, which she formulated to help combat the hair loss she'd been experiencing from wearing tight protective styles. "If this little bottle can bring you some happiness and peace by just making your hair grow . . . then I feel like I've done something good," Anthony previously told POPSUGAR.

Scarlett Johansson

In June 2021, news broke that Scarlett Johansson was planning to launch a skin-care brand in early 2022. After five years in the making, the actor's line, The Outset, has officially arrived.

"I have had acne-prone skin — struggled with that through my 20s — and I've tried every acne peel, mask, and skin-resurfacing polish," Johansson previously told POPSUGAR. "Whenever my skin is breaking out, I have always returned to this three-step process of cleansing, and priming, and moisturizing." That's what inspired the three hero launches: a gentle cleanser, a firming collagen serum, and a daily moisturizer. The Outset also carries a night cream, an eye cream, and a lip treatment.

The line is in the development phase, and a name has not yet been shared publicly; we do know, however, that the venture is part of his new partnership with A-Frame Brands. (The holding company also has Naomi Osaka's Kinlò and Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade's forthcoming Proudly in its portfolio.)

The price points range from $21 to $48, and the products are exclusively available on GxveBeauty.com and at Sephora.
