Country music legend Dolly Parton, known for her iconic style and timeless beauty, is set to launch her own makeup line, Dolly Beauty. This new venture, inspired by Parton’s lifelong desire to be beautiful, marks a significant expansion of her brand, following the success of her fragrance line, Scent From Above. With the launch of Dolly Beauty on August 22, Parton continues to share her passion for glamour and inclusivity with fans around the world.

A Lifelong Dream of Beauty

At 78, Dolly Parton has spent decades in the spotlight, not just for her music but also for her distinctive look, which has become as legendary as her songs. In an interview with Women’s Wear Daily, Parton revealed that her fascination with beauty began in childhood. “I started creating my own little makeup things at home when I was just a kid,” she shared. “I’ve been known for wearing makeup—usually too much—for years.”

Parton’s early experimentation with makeup was driven by her dream of glamour, a dream she shared with many young girls, especially those growing up in rural areas like she did. “I’ve always wanted to be pretty like most girls, especially country girls that have a dream of glamour,” she said. This deep-rooted desire to enhance her appearance has now culminated in the creation of Dolly Beauty, a line that embodies her personal journey and commitment to helping others feel beautiful.

Introducing Dolly Beauty: Heaven’s Kiss Lipstick Collection

Dolly Beauty’s inaugural product is the Heaven’s Kiss lipstick collection, which pays homage to Parton’s musical legacy by naming each item after one of her hit songs. This blend of music and makeup is a testament to Parton’s belief that beauty should be both fun and personal. “I like to name my products after songs,” she explained. “It’s important to create things that people who do wear makeup can enjoy. You have to have a variety of colors.”

Parton teased the upcoming launch on August 13 via Instagram, posting a picture of herself in a makeup chair holding a tube of lipstick. The caption read, “I feel glamorous on the inside, so I want to look like it on the outside… something is coming @dollybeauty.” This playful yet poignant message encapsulates Parton’s philosophy: beauty is not just about appearance but also about expressing how one feels inside.

Expanding the Dolly Brand

Dolly Beauty represents the latest chapter in Parton’s entrepreneurial journey. Her first foray into the beauty industry came in 2021 with the release of her fragrance line, Scent From Above. The perfume’s success served as a stepping stone for Dolly Beauty, allowing Parton to explore new avenues in the beauty world.

“I’ve always wanted my own wig line,” Parton mentioned, hinting at future expansions. “But I always loved makeup, and when we did the fragrance, makeup seemed like the next step. Through the years, we’ll be doing different products with makeup, and eventually, we may do hair care or this or that. Anything that has to do with beauty—new dreams come every day.”

Inclusivity at the Core

One of the key aspects of Dolly Beauty is its inclusivity. Parton emphasized that the collection would cater to a diverse range of people, offering products that everyone can enjoy. “It’s important to create things that people who do wear makeup can enjoy,” she said. This commitment to inclusivity reflects Parton’s broader ethos of making everyone feel valued and beautiful, regardless of their background or style.

Dolly Beauty is more than just a makeup line; it’s a realization of Dolly Parton’s lifelong dream of glamour and beauty. With the Heaven’s Kiss lipstick collection leading the way, the brand is poised to make a significant impact in the beauty industry. As Dolly Beauty launches on August 22, fans and makeup enthusiasts alike will have the opportunity to share in Parton’s vision of beauty that is fun, personal, and inclusive. Through this new venture, Dolly Parton continues to inspire others to express their inner glamour, just as she has done throughout her illustrious career.
