Gone are the days when stars would simply slap their names on a money-making fragrance. These days, some of the best celebrity beauty brands are the result of years (decades, even) soaking up tricks from the hair and makeup pros — then translating that expertise and high-wattage stardom into best-selling skincare, cosmetics, and hair care lines.

2. JLo Beauty: That Blockbuster Wonder Cream
It was only a matter of time before Jennifer Lopez expanded beyond fragrances with a full-fledged beauty line. JLo Beauty launched in 2021 with cruelty-free and clean skincare featuring the proprietary Olive Complex, a concoction packed with extra virgin olive and fermented oils, olive leaf extract, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. It’s the hero ingredient in the brand’s That Blockbuster Wonder Cream, resulting in dewy hydration and soft skin.

4. Keys Soulcare: Be Luminous Exfoliator
Alicia Keys superfans can copy the Grammy-winning artist’s makeup-less routine by way of her newly-launched wellness lifestyle brand, Keys Soulcare. Created in collaboration with drugstore stalwart E.l.f. Cosmetics and formulated by a board-certified dermatologist, the cruelty-free line is made without the over 1,600 ingredients banned by the EU Cosmetics Regulation.
This water-activated exfoliating powder turns into a creamy foam that removes dead skin cells and restores the skin. It’s concocted with antioxidant-rich Hojicha powder, mung beans, and oats that leave the skin softer and smoother, while lactic acid and alpha hydroxy acids reveal a brighter visage.

5. Honest Beauty: No Makeup Makeup Kit
Jessica Alba’s non-toxic lineup of brands includes Honest Beauty, which is cruelty-free and spans across skincare, cosmetics, and accessories for all skin types and tones. We’re fans of the label’s Extreme Length Mascara and Primer duo, and we like that this “no makeup” makeup collection includes the best-selling lash product alongside favorites such as the vitamin C-infused Clean Corrective tinted moisturizer with SPF 30, the Everything Primer, Luminizing Glow Powder, an eyebrow pencil, tinted lip balm, and blendable blush.

6. Flower Beauty: Supernova Celestial Skin Elixir
Founded by Hollywood royalty Drew Barrymore, Flower Beauty was born from the entrepreneurial star’s experience sitting in makeup chairs for nearly her entire life and her seven-year stint as co-creative director of CoverGirl. The brand’s priming and lightweight oil features antioxidants and pearlescent pigments that bring radiance and smoothness to the skin when worn underneath makeup.

Gen Z-focused vegan skincare label Florence By Mills is Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown’s first foray into beauty.
