It looks like big things are happening for Olympian, Gabrielle Douglas. This year, the 21-year-old has partnered with black owned makeup brand, Beauty Bakerie, to create a set of lippies for the bold and fiesty. The indie makeup brand, who is known for their super sweet packaging, helped Gabby create five Lip Whips that include an electric purple as well as a vibrant pink. Four of the Lip Whip’s are Beauty Bakerie’s original formula, but the fifth is a metallic – so on trend.
When we first met Gabby, she was a cute and bright eyed young lady with a cool, no fuss appearance. Now, that same no fuss Gabby has blossomed into a beautiful young woman who loves to experiment with her look. We saw her in a bold plumb lip during the 2016 Summer Olympic Games and we’ve also seen her with many other fabulous looks on the red carpet. We are pretty confident that Gabby could have collaborated with any beauty brand she wanted, but we are thrilled that she chose a black owned brand.
“I have actually always wanted to have a lipstick line also, so this partnership fits together in many ways,” she said in a press release. “I’m honored to be able to partner with a brand that has an amazing product.”
Beauty Bakerie’s Lip Whips usually cost $20 a pop, but you’ll be able to get your hands on all five of Gabby’s Lip Whips for $80. The set will launch on March 14, 2017.
