Coty has relaunched Kylie Cosmetics – the brand set up by Kylie Jenner in 2015 – with new and improved formulas and refreshed packaging, while a direct to consumer website and select brick and mortar stores will ensure global availability for the first time.

Harrods and Selfridges will be selling the Kylie Cosmetics brand in the UK, as well as Douglas in Europe and Mecca in Australia. In the US, the brand will relaunch with the new line in Ulta Beauty stores in August.
The new direct to consumer website launched on 15 July and marks the furst time that consumers are able to shop both Kylie Skin and Kylie Cosmetics in one location. The site will be the first destination for all new product launches and collection drops, as well as featuring new educational content and shoppable selections of Kylie’s favourite products.
The new range includes improved clean and vegan formulas with products including new lip kits (promising eight-hour wear), pressed blush powder and the new Kyliner Gel Pencil among others.
“We are excited about the relaunch of Kylie Cosmetics with a reformulated range that is really at the forefront of everything Gen Z wants,” said Sue Y.

Our new online platform, along with selected retailers, allows consumers to buy their whole beauty routine in one space.”
