Amazon Market Watch: Sales of celebrity-branded beauty products grow as much as 3,700% year-over-year

Celebrities and the beauty industry have been intrinsically linked since the early days of Hollywood, with stars appearing in promotional campaigns for brands from MAC to Maybelline. In recent years, though, many celebrities have leveraged their insight, fame, and passion for the industry to launch their own beauty brands.

It’s no wonder that so many famous faces would look to the beauty industry as a way to expand their brands. 

According to Jungle Scout Consumer Trends data, the number of people spending more on Beauty and Personal Care products has increased year-over-year, from 14% to 20%. What’s more, the data shows that a mere 7% of consumers never purchase beauty products. That means over 90% of consumers shop this category; talk about a massive customer base!

Plus, Jungle Scout Cobalt data shows that some Beauty product categories on Amazon have seen sales growth of 100%+ year-over-year.

Amazon Product Category YoY Amazon Sales Trend
Blush, Contour & Highlighters Up 102% YoY
Nails & Nail Polish Up 101% YoY
Perfumes & Colognes Up 74% YoY

In this post, we’ll explore celebrity-backed beauty brands on Amazon, see what the data says about star power’s impact on sales, and discuss what can be learned from the strategies of celebrity brands.

Celebrity Beauty Brands on Amazon

To say that there’s been a celebrity beauty brand boom in the last decade is an understatement. There are over 90 celebrity-backed beauty brands currently sold in the United States alone, including cosmetics, hair products, and skincare lines. Not all seem to be created equal, though, at least according to Amazon shoppers. While some brands have seen incredible sales momentum in the last year, others have seen sales and revenue dip.

Resources & Takeaways for Beauty Brands

With nearly every one of these brands showing notable year-over-year growth, there are clearly things that other brands selling beauty and personal care products can learn and leverage by analyzing these trends. Here are a few of our top takeaways:

 

  • The power of celebrity. Clearly, a famous face has a lot of sway in the beauty industry. Celebrity beauty brands come with a built-in spokesperson that shoppers already know and trust. But brands that don’t have celebrity founders can tap into a similar phenomenon by working with influencers to promote, review, and share products with legions of loyal followers who are likely to trust and act on their recommendations. Influencers are a powerful force in the beauty industry, helping products go viral and, in some cases, even launching their own beauty brands.

 

  • Tap into consumer priorities. A majority of the celebrity beauty brands we’ve explored here have a focus on clean, natural, and eco-friendly formulas. It’s clear that many celebrity founders have picked up on the fact that shoppers are looking for beauty products that are both effective and thoughtfully made. Many of these brands also have a strong focus on inclusivity, creating products for audiences that have been historically underrepresented in the beauty industry. Following suit with these trends can help other beauty and personal care brands stand out in the market, too.

 

  • Product and pricing opportunities. Celebrity beauty brands range from high-end luxury products to affordable, accessible beauty. By reviewing the top-selling products for celebrity beauty brands, other brands can benchmark their own pricing and product focus to appeal to similar shoppers. Popular celebrity-backed beauty products are also a great resource for selecting and launching new products in your catalog – especially in cases where you can offer a similar product at a lower price point.
