Celebrities around the world are famous for a multitude of reasons. Regardless of their claim to fame, A listers use their platforms to spread messages about the things they are passionate about – as well as the products they enjoy. Using their influence, a lot of celebrities start their own businesses! Here are some of the best ones:

Beauty

• Kylie Cosmetics
  • Kylie Jenner

One of the most famous families in the United States – the Kardashians – is known to be famous for being famous. Luckily for them, they have learned to use this success to become entrepreneurs. The youngest, Kylie, erased this stereotype surrounding her family by becoming the youngest self-made billionaire, made possible by the success of her business Kylie Cosmetics. Popularity of this brand grew exponentially with the rise in popularity of the Lip Kits containing everything you need for the perfect lip combo. The range of products offered by Kylie Cosmetics is wide and regarded as an amazing celebrity brand.

• Rare Beauty
  • Selena Gomez

“I wonder if Selena Gomez named it Rare Beauty because she has that rare disease?” (Trisha Paytas circa 2021). The age-old question still stands. Regardless of how it got its name, Rare Beauty is an amazing brand with makeup that lasts all day and takes a while to use up. As an avid user of the Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in the shade “Happy”, I can confirm that this brand is one I will purchase from time and time again.

• Fenty
  • Rihanna

Rihanna is known for her catchy music as well as her astounding beauty. Fenty beauty is a sophisticated brand known for its inclusivity of shades and sleek packaging. Inspired by her numerous collaborations with other beauty brands, Rihanna felt it necessary to create her own to be customized to exactly what she felt needed to be added to the beauty world.

• r.e.m.
  • Ariana Grande

Named for one of her biggest hit songs, Ariana Grande’s presence in the beauty industry has always been felt. Her fragrance line first hit the scene in 2015 and has since been long running. The success she saw with this endeavor inspired her to start her own cosmetics line in 2021. Don’t sleep on r.e.m. beauty!

Home and Apparel

• Beats
  • Dr. Dre

Dr. Dre has been making his mark on the music industry over the course of forty years. With music being such a large part of his own life, it only makes sense that he would find a way for fans to listen to his music and music of all kinds. With the recent rise in popularity of headphones over earbuds, Beats has seen a rise in sales, though this brand has always seen success. Known for the quality of sound and durability, this brand has consistently been topping the charts when it comes to sound systems and ways to listen.

• Béis
  • Shay Mitchell

The world is wide and having a durable suitcase is crucial to the travelers of the world. Pretty Little Liars star Shay Mitchell launched the luggage company Béis which immediately made a name for itself as one of the best quality luggages out there. The sleek design and gorgeous color options attract the most luxury of customers. The name is the Spanish word for beige, the color of one of Mitchell’s most beloved travel bags. This inspiration started one of the most fabulous suitcase brands out there, thank goodness.

• Skims
  • Kim Kardashian

One of the biggest Kardashian brands right now is Skims. Kim’s sleek clothing is known for its seamless and alluring appearance. With clothes for both men and women, this brand is of the finest quality and known for its incredible ability to shape the body of the person wearing it. While the product catalog tends to come with a fairly hefty price tag, loyal customers still wait patiently by their computers for drops of any kind. Kim does a great job of taking advantage of seasonal holidays to incorporate into the Skims catalog. These limited-edition items often sell out immediately, acting as a reflection of just how in demand this brand is.

Food

• Zoa
  • The Rock

If you know The Rock, you know he is all about fitness. As a former professional wrestler turned actor, his physique is remarkable. One way he maintains this reputation is by eating clean and spending a lot of time in his at-home gym. For all the working out he does, he needs a lot of energy, which is why he created his own line of energy drinks, Zoa. Zoa is created to be a cleaner alternative to heavily artificial energy drinks like Celsius or Monster, deriving a large portion of its caffeine content from green tea extract. As of right now, the six flavors are Pineapple Coconut, Super Berry, Cherry Limeade, White Peach, Tropical Punch, and Wild Orange. This drink always leaves me feeling so refreshed and I could not recommend enough! (Personally, Tropical Punch is my favorite flavor and you should definitely give it a try).

• Chamberlain Coffee
  • Emma Chamberlain

Emma Chamberlain started her career as a sixteen year old girl filming silly YouTube videos. Now, she is living it up on top with a life of luxury. But one thing has stayed consistent throughout her career – she is obsessed with coffee. Countlerss vlogs of hers have revolved around trying different coffee shops and almost every video involves a coffee run. Founded in 2019, the brand selds coffee beans, grounds, cups, tea, matcha, and canned coffee. This endevour could not have been successful without her passion about coffee and her infectious personality.

• Goodles
  • Gal Gadot

 A pivotal part of every kid’s childhood is boxed mac and cheese. Gal Gadot wondered if there was a way to make this cheesy dish into a healthy meal for all ages. And so began Goodles. With a variety of flavors and products that offer flexibility for those with gluten restrictions or vegans, this unique mac and cheese has been a hit in the food market. In fact, just for this article I went out and bought a box. And honestly, I have absolutely no complaints! This mac and cheese was refreshing and will definitely be purchased again. 

Celebrity businesses are a plenty in todays world, and this isn’t even a fraction of the ones out there. You should definitely go out and give these products a try!
