30 Celebrity Beauty Brands That Are Actually Good

Consider this your definitive guide

By

If you're suffering from whiplash trying to keep up with the latest celebrity beauty launches, you're not alone. There's Scarlett Johansson's culty skincare brand, Tracee Ellis Ross's curly and coily hair essentials, Billie Eilish's top-selling fragrances, along with just about any routine staple Rihanna releases—and that's all within just the last few years. And these days, nearly every celeb considers themselves a beauty mogul, albeit with varying degrees of success.

The fact is, just because someone stars in feature films or has a hit Netflix show doesn't mean they necessarily understand the intricacies of formulating a long-wearing lipstick or an ultra-hydrating moisturizer. There are, however, several splurge-worthy products worth shopping from brands developed by stars (that sometimes also come expert-backed) that have won over both super fans and Bazaar editors alike.

Ahead, we've rounded up the best celebrity beauty brands we've tried and loved so far—and why you should consider adding them to your short list of rotation regulars.

The viral glazed donut trend was started by model and Rhode founder Hailey Bieber months before launching her culty beauty line, powered in part by this popular serum. It uses a blend of niacinamide, peptides, marula oil, and more to leave skin with supreme hydration and an effortless glow.

Whether you're experiencing menopause or not, this lightweight body oil from actress Naomi Watts's brand Stripes deserves a spot in your daily rotation. "It leaves such a beautiful, velvety finish, and is nongreasy, plus has plenty of antioxidants," Watts previously told us. "And the smell is just divine. Interestingly, you become more sensitive to smell when you are in menopause, and what you used to love before, you suddenly can't tolerate. So the smells are subtle, but they're just enough."

Purifying Blue Clay Mask

One of our favorite things about actress Scarlett Johansson's skincare brand The Outset is how simple it is: Consisting of five core products for both day and night, the collection's ethos is to, "find freedom in the uncomplicated.” We can't resist a soothing face mask, which is why this Kaolin clay, gardenia, and pansy extract version tops our list of celebrity-founded favorites.
