    Houston beauty expert ranks top 5 celebrity makeup lines for A-list looks

    Gabi De la Rosa
    Sep 27, 2023 | 5:55 am

    Another day, another celebrity makeup brand is hitting the market. More and more celebrities and influencers are jumping into an already crowded space and bringing their masses of fans with them.

    And why wouldn't they? According to Oberlo, the beauty industry is worth a staggering $579 billion in 2023. Celebrities get to cash in on their name and likeness, while fans get something designed by their favorite VIP.

    Fresha recently conducted a study on the most popular celebrity beauty brand. They looked at the average monthly search volume for each beauty brand, the Instagram following of each official account, TikTok posts, and the number of views on each TikTok hashtag. An overall beauty index score was calculated from each variable to find the most in demand celebrity beauty brand.

    The top five list has some heavy hitters and notable absences. Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez comes in at No. 1, followed by Kylie Cosmetics by Kylie Jenner, Fenty Beauty by Rihanna, Florence Mills by Millie Bobby Brown, and R.e.m. Beauty by Ariana Grande.

    We looked to Houston makeup expert Mari Metzler for her take on the celebrity makeup craze. Metzler is not only an industry veteran; she created her own makeup line, making her a certified expert on what to look for in products.

    "When a known name stands behind a product, it's like a friend recommending their favorite lipstick or foundation. It cuts through the overwhelming noise and offers a trusted starting point for consumers."

    Metzler took a deep dive into each celeb-backed line to give her opinion on what's the best of the best.

    Rare Beauty

    Favorite Product: Rare Beauty's Liquid Touch Weightless Foundation

    What It Does: Provides medium to full coverage with a lightweight, natural finish.

    Why We Like It: The foundation feels incredibly weightless on the skin yet provides excellent coverage, offering a natural, radiant finish that lasts all day.

    Kylie Cosmetics

    Favorite Product: Kylie Cosmetics' Kyshadow - The Bronze Palette

    What It Does: Features nine pressed powder eyeshadows in neutral and bronze hues with matte and shimmer finishes.

    Why We Like It: This palette is incredibly versatile, making it easy to create everything from a natural daytime look to a more dramatic evening eye.

    Fenty Beauty

    Favorite Product: Fenty Beauty's Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer

    What It Does: Delivers explosive shine in universally flattering shades.

    Why We Like It: It's not sticky, has an addictive peach-vanilla scent, and gives the lips a luscious, fuller look.

    Florence by Mills

    Favorite Product: Florence by Mills' Cheek Me Later Cream Blush

    What It Does: Provides a buildable, blendable pop of color that lasts.

    Why We Like It: The formula is creamy and easy to blend, providing a natural, youthful flush to the cheeks.

    R.e.m Beauty

    Favorite Product: Interstellar Highlighter Topper

    What It Does: This highlighter offers a satin-pearl sheen that enhances the skin's natural luminosity.

    Why We Like It: The formula is subtle and never glittery, perfect for achieving a fresh, dewy glow.

    TREASURE TROVE

    A stylish shopper's guide to 16 of Round Top's best fashion finds

    Round Top is a treasure hunter’s dream, with plenty of places to shop for vintage fashion, boots, accessories, and one-of-a-kind finds.

    Shopping at Round Top's famous antique shows can be daunting even for the most experienced pros. There is a lot of ground to cover, with shopping spread across miles of fields, barns, and venues along Highway 237. To make the fashion hunt during the upcoming fall event, October 17 - 31, a little easier, we've rounded up the must-shop spots for amazing vintage items, designer pieces, boots, jewelry, and accessories.

    Although Round Top is about dressing the part, don't forget that practical outfit choices will make long (and usually very hot) days much more comfortable. Wear clothes that can get dusty and shoes that can survive much more than 10,000 steps. A sunhat and extra water will also go a long way during the fall show.

    Blue Hills
    The Vibe: Cool-girl style with plenty of chic fashion and accessory options. Blue Hills leans into new items, mixing well-known and up-and-coming brands.

    Sézane
    French fashion brand Sézane is making its Round Top debut at Blue Hills. The brand's airstream trailer will pop up during the fall show from October 24-27 with its Fall/Winter 2026 Collection and a capsule collection of Round Top-exclusive products including a sweatshirt, t-shirt, and tote bag.

    Hunter Bell
    The Houston-based designer will pop-up at Blue Hills giving shoppers a chance to see the latest looks up close. The brand's Round Top inspiration guide offers plenty of outfit ideas plus a shopping list of pieces to pick up at the show.

    The Compound
    The Vibe: Elevated shopping with a price point to match, including new, vintage, and upcycled fashion.

    Lotte.99
    A collection featuring Los Angeles-crafted ethical apparel made from premium silks and upcycled textiles, hand-selected and finished with French seams, pure trims, and shell buttons.

    Shapeau
    Known for its vintage quilt coats, vests, and ponchos, this brand’s one-of-a-kind pieces fly off the racks. Once a design is gone, it’s gone for good, making the hunt for the right size, shape, and print part of the fun. Finding one that fits just right is definitely considered a Round Top score.

    Zapp Hall
    The Vibe: Zapp Hall is a Round Top favorite for vintage fashion, statement accessories, and plenty of one-of-a-kind finds — all set in an atmosphere that only a 1903 dance hall can provide.
