Beauty is about identity and expression. What better way than with flawless makeup? Many high-end brands today strive to do more than just craft good products. They work towards breaking norms and building communities. 

Here are some premium beauty brands worth checking out.

Charlotte Tilbury

Not many makeup artists have achieved the same level of global recognition as Charlotte Tilbury. After 20 years behind the scenes in fashion and beauty, Charlotte established her brand under her name in 2013. 

It is more than a brand with high-end makeup. It is a call to dream bigger, go bolder, and feel fabulous. The range combines glamour with simplicity. They produce products that guarantee glowing skin, rich lip colors, and formulas that flatter everyone. 

Huda Beauty

Beginning as a small beauty blog in 2010, Huda Beauty has since become a global trend. It is a brand by Huda Kattan, a trained makeup expert. Initially, she provided expert tutorials and tips in her blog. Soon enough, Huda realized her appeal and began selling lashes. In no time, it became a craze in Dubai. Soon after, she went global.

With her two sisters, Huda expanded the range. She then ventured into: 

• eyeshadow palettes
• foundations
• contour kits
• lip shades

Rich colors, smooth finishes, and striking packaging are the primary characteristics of their products. However, far deeper than the formulations is the brand tale, based on a genuine desire to share knowledge, create community, and make beauty feel personal and honest. All beauty products of this brand are cruelty-free.

NYX Professional Makeup

NYX stands for being bold and inclusive.  Established in 1999, this highly reputed beauty brand has continually delivered products of the highest standards without compromising on ethics.

All NYX products are designed by trained professionals, specializing in makeup. The products are rich in pigment. They are cruelty-free and work for all skin tones.

K18 Hair

K18 is not your run-of-the-mill haircare brand. Its biotechnology approach is counter to the promise of temporary shine. So, this brand repairs the strands from within. 

Whether it is color, heat, or styling tool damage, the K18 formulas penetrate deeply inside the hair to repair and strengthen the broken structures. The formulations work at the core and do more than just offer surface-level goodness. K18 has an association with hairstylists worldwide. They work tirelessly to craft products that yield solid results.

OLAPLEX

Haircare starts from within, and OLAPLEX knew it before it was mainstream. It crafts products that fix the bonds holding the hair together. So, regardless of the cause of damage, OLAPLEX products can bring the hair back to life.

With every launch, OLAPLEX demonstrates a clear focus: 

• support the stylist
• deliver real results
• keep products research-backed

Fenty Beauty

Rihanna didn’t just put her name on a makeup line; she started a revolution. Her range of products from Fenty Beauty turned the beauty industry upside down. 

Fenty Beauty was created to serve everyone. This is apparent from its inclusive shade range. 

The beauty and makeup line encompasses: 

• foundations
• highlighters
• lip products

Each of the products is cruelty-free. The brand caters to all skin tones and types. By offering a wide range of shades and easy-to-use tools, Fenty Beauty encourages people to take risks and have fun in the process.
