Beauty Companies Owned by Celebrities

Eva MendesWe love Mendes as an actress, but her true calling in life very well might be cosmetics. Her line, Circa, which launched this year, is some of the most high-end drugstore makeup we've ever tried.





Mary-Kate And Ashley Olsen The dynamic duo that brought us Passport to Paris and When in Rome grew up, and started a successful fashion brand, Elizabeth and James. The designers then expanded into fragrance, and most recently, hair products. .





Katie HolmesWhen Holmes wore long glossy hair in Dawson's Creek, we busted out our flat irons and heavy shine sprays. When she chopped it into a sharp bob years later, we also picked up the scissors. So, it was no surprise that the actress would eventually venture into hair care. But instead of just offering up her face for an ad campaign, Holmes went a step further and became part owner of natural hair brand Alterna.





Alexa ChungStyle star Alexa Chung is known for her eyes, and has unsurprisingly hitched her wagon to a brand famous for the same thing: Eyeko. Not only does she appear in the company's ad campaigns, but the "creative consultant" also helps design products, shade names, and packaging (including her own doodles).





Jennifer AnistonFor a woman who has a haircut named after her, this was a no-brainer. Like Holmes, Aniston became part owner of MIT-based hair company Living Proof. Unsurprisingly, she brought her longtime hairstylist and friend Chris McMillan onboard as the brand's celebrity hairstylist. "Chris and I have worked together for years and have always discussed doing something together that would be innovative, fresh and have the actual science behind it," she says on the brand's website.





Lindsay EllingsonThis model (and self-proclaimed beauty junkie) was often spotted backstage at the Victoria's Secret fashion shows curling her own lashes. So, it was no surprise when she launched her own makeup line.





Gwyneth PaltrowPaltrow, being the entrepreneur that she is, launched a venture between her lifestyle brand Goop and organic cosmetics company Juice Beauty. And, in the process, she became creative director of its entire makeup division.





Elle MacphersonWith a nickname like "the body," Macpherson's product really shouldn't come as a surprise.
he Super Elixir, created by the supermodel, is a protein-rich supplement based on the body's pH balance. And yes, Macpherson chugs it every day.WelleCo The Super Elixir, $135, available at WelleCo.





Miranda KerrKerr's poreless baby face can certainly be attributed to killer genes. But she'd likely also give credit to her skin-care line: Kora Organics.





Kim KardashianKardashian's (very famous) name is on everything from makeup and fragrance to hair tools — but recently she made a quieter investment in the world of "organic botox."





Jessica AlbaAlba's natural brand, Honest Company, includes just about everything — from hand soap to diapers. Her latest venture, Honest Beauty, is equally vast, with hundreds of products including skin-care and makeup.





Drew BarrymoreBarrymore really couldn't have picked two better business ventures — wine and beauty. We've been totally obsessed with her drugstore brand, Flower, since its launch in 2013.





Rob LoweIf perennial baby face Rob Lowe was going to invest in any beauty venture — a skin-care line was the obvious choice. His brand, Profile, just launched this month.
