It's official: Every celeb now has a beauty line
官宣:每個明星現在都有自己的美妝品牌
When Selena Gomez introduced her makeup brand, Rare Beauty, this year, she took on a role often delegated to a makeup artist: For Sephora, the brand's exclusive retailer, she filmed all the education and training videos herself, iPhone in selfie mode, duct-taped to her bathroom mirror in Los Angeles.***
今年,賽琳娜·戈麥斯在推廣自己的美妝品牌 Rare Beauty 時,充當了一個經常由美妝達人扮演的角色:她把手機調成自拍模式,用膠帶把它貼在洛杉磯家中浴室的鏡子上,憑藉這一方法,她一個人為該品牌的獨家零售商絲芙蘭,拍攝了所有的美妝教育培訓視頻。
Gomez is one of the latest in a wave of celebrities no longer content to be a spokeswoman. They join an old guard of celebrity beauty moguls like Rihanna, whose Fenty Beauty generated an estimated $570 million in revenue in its first 15 months.
如今,一大批明星都不再滿足於做品牌代言人,戈麥斯也在最近趕上了這一新潮流。他們加入了蕾哈娜這樣的老牌名人美妝巨頭的行列。蕾哈娜的美妝品牌 Fenty Beauty 在剛成立的 15 個月內,就創造了大約 5.7 億美元的收入。
Why is a makeup line now a necessary accessory of fame?
為何美妝品牌如今成了明星大腕們的必備「星飾品」?
Starting your own company — à la Gomez, or Lady Gaga's Haus Laboratories — is generally more lucrative than a licensing deal. Both can generate more cash than being a spokeswoman does.
像戈麥斯(的 Rare Beauty)或是 Lady Gaga 的 Haus Laboratories 一樣,明星創立自己的美妝公司,通常會比 IP 授權賺得更多。而授權和開公司都比單純做代言更吸金。
Katie Slater, a partner at William Morris Endeavor who handles celebrity endorsements cited the money clients could make, along with the creative control they could exert. Instead of just turning up for shoots and PR days, stars can have a say in what is being said. Besides, doesn't every star these days want to be a multihyphenate?
威廉·莫裡斯奮進娛樂公司的合伙人凱蒂·斯萊特負責明星代言業務,她說,公司客戶除了可以(憑藉自己的美妝品牌)賺錢以外,還能掌握品牌創意。明星們不僅只是在拍攝和公關宣傳時露面,他們還有權決定產品的宣傳內容。此外,如今有哪個明星不想成為多棲藝人呢?
What does a would-be makeup mogul want?
一個未來的美妝巨頭究竟要做什麼?
Makeup and skin care are what's hot for would-be moguls. They are bigger slices of the beauty industry — skin care alone accounts for anywhere from 45% to 60% of the profits — and they are now easier to get into than ever. Thanks to e-commerce, they require less capital because there's no need to hire a department store sales force to push products.
對於想要成為巨頭的明星來說,彩妝和護膚品是最搶手的板塊,它們佔據了美容行業的較大份額——僅護膚品就佔了行業利潤的 45% 至 60%——而且現在進軍這兩個板塊比任何時候都要容易。由於電子商務的普及,彩妝和護膚品品牌無需僱傭百貨公司的銷售團隊來推銷產品,因此所需的成本就更低了。
With so many brands, it's impossible for everyone to be successful, but don't expect the pipeline to dry up anytime soon.
這麼多明星創立了自己的品牌,不可能每個人都成功,但也不要指望這條產品線在短期內會枯竭。
