KYLIE JENNER
Founder
Kylie Cosmetics by Kylie Jenner
Reality TV star and social media influencer Kylie Jenner launched her cosmetics collection, Kylie Cosmetics by Kylie Jenner, after successfully debuting the Kylie Lip Kit, a matching liquid lipstick, and lip liner set. The direct-to-consumer cosmetics company reportedly has sold more than $630 million in makeup since the launch in February 2016. The company behind the collection (as well as the cosmetic line founded Jenner’s half sister Kim Kardashian-West) is Seed Beauty, a four-year-old Oxnard company that bills itself as a beauty incubator. Seed Beauty owners and siblings Laura and John Nelson launched their company in 2014 with Colourpop, a cosmetics brand popular with beauty vloggers and other influencers. A Forbes story in July named 20-year-old Jenner the youngest “self-made billionaire” in a story detailing how Jenner has amassed her personal fortune of $900 million in under three years.
