The ultimate guide to celebrity beauty brands 

Within the beauty space, celebrities are no longer just endorsing products, but are launching their own brands. We have seen an uptick in celebrity beauty brand launches, but in an already crowded market, is a famous name enough to convince consumers to buy a brand?   

Scope 

In order to analyze the success of a celebrity beauty brand, we brought together some of the most powerful data sets in the beauty industry.  

• NielsenIQ Omnishopper Panel provides brand sales and consumer purchase metrics, across the $90B+ US Beauty and Personal care marketplace 

• Dash Hudson Entertainment Scores, is calculated using Retention Rate and Engagement Rate to measure how well a brand’s social videos are entertaining its audience. 
• Earned Media Value (EMV) is a proprietary metric from Tribe Dynamics, a CreatorIQ company, that quantifies the estimated value of consumer engagement with digital earned media.   
• Spate analyzes over 20 billion search signals to identify which beauty products are most top of mind for consumers. Why search data? Every time a user types a query into the search bar, they are sharing what is top of mind for them – often including concerns, questions, and context they might not share elsewhere.
