Dolly Parton to launch a make-up line, Dolly Beauty. Hair care next?


Dolly Parton is launching a make-up line, Dolly Beauty, which will include her Heaven’s Kiss lipstick collection – with each item named after one of her hit songs.

The 78-year-old country singer teased the brand on August 13 in an Instagram post, with a picture of her sitting in a make-up chair and holding a tube of lipstick.

“I feel glamorous on the inside, so I want to look like it on the outside … something is coming @dollybeauty,” Parton wrote in the caption.

In an interview with fashion journal Women’s Wear Daily, the singer said the collection would be inclusive. “I like to name my products after songs,” Parton said. “It’s important to create things that people that do wear make-up can enjoy. You have to have a variety of colours.”

The “Jolene” singer revealed that her desire to be beautiful inspired her to make Dolly Beauty.

“I’ve always said I never leave a rhinestone unturned,” Parton said. “I’ve wanted to be pretty my whole life like most girls, especially country girls that have a dream of glamour.

“I started creating my own little make-up things at home when I was just a kid, and I’ve been known for wearing make-up – usually too much – for years.”

Before her new make-up line, Parton released a fragrance line called Scent From Above in 2021. The singer said that releasing her perfume was just the stepping stone she needed.

“I’ve always wanted my own wig line,” Parton said. “But I always loved make-up, and when we did the fragrance, make-up seemed like the next step.

“Through the years, we’ll be doing different products with make-up, and eventually, we may do hair care or this or that. Anything that has to do with beauty – new dreams come every day.”

Dolly Beauty will launch on August 22, and will be available through the brand’s website.
