UK beauty research and e-commerce platform, Cosmetify has released data revealing the most successful celebrity beauty brands of the year.
Cosmetify utilised a variety of methodologies to uncover the top ranked celebrity beauty brands, including:
- A range of online resources, including ZoomInfo and Growjo, to find the most recent annual revenue of each beauty brand,
- TikTok to find the most recent follower count for each beauty brand,
- Instagram to find the most recent follower count of each beauty brand, as well as the number brand mentions they had by searching #insertbrandname,
- Keyword Planner to find the number of worldwide searches for each brand between Feb 2022 – Jan 2023,
- Finally, beauty-related factors (annual revenue, TikTok and Instagram followers, Instagram brand mentions, and search data) and normalised each factor out of 10 before taking an average of those scores to get an overall ‘beauty brand score’.
Based on the above factors, it was found Fenty Beauty retained it’s spot as the #1 most successful celebrity beauty brand since first assessed in 2021.
The brand, which was founded by singer Rhianna, is regarded for its release of makeup products suited to all skin tones.
Coming in at second and third place respectively are Kylie Jenner’s Kylie Cosmetics, and Selena Gomez’s Rare Beauty.
