Here is the ultimate list of the 10 best celebrity makeup and skincare brands.
Celebrities have always been a face of beauty over the decades, but over the past few years they have shifted and transformed the beauty industry with their own brands.
Maintaining clear, glowy and youthful skin is part of the celebrity repertoire – especially in the digital age where cameras are all-pervasive and master extreme closeups.
From dramatic red carpet looks, to talk show appearances and long-haul flights, celebrities certainly know what they’re talking about when it comes to skincare that actually works.
Conquering heavy makeup looks, lengthy days, and being amongst top-tier experts in the skin industry, celebrities have the most insightful knowledge as to what it’s like to keep skin healthy and youthful.
Rihanna, Selena Gomez and Drew Barrymore are all celebrities who have entered the beauty industry with their own brand, and have nailed it with their great products.
