Tik Tok Star Addison Rae Launches ITEM Beauty

Clean Beauty Brand Redefines Beauty Norms

Brand innovation incubator Madeby Collective announced today the upcoming launch of ITEM Beauty in partnership with TikTok star Addison Rae, the brand’s Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer. ITEM is a dermatologist-tested, clean beauty brand that promises to redefine beauty norms by instilling confidence, self-love and self-expression.

“I wanted to create a brand that supports individuality in a very real and authentic way,” says Addison Rae. “ITEM approaches beauty the same way that I do. I want to be able to put something on my face that I can feel good about—clean products with ingredients that are good for my skin and enhance, not mask, my features. It’s about embracing all your imperfections because they all play a part in what makes you truly unique.”

• Lash Snack lengthening mascara, $14 MSRP
• Lid Glaze hydrating jelly eyeshadow, $14 MSRP
• Powder Hour brightening powder, $22 MSRP
• Cheek Money bronzer duo, $16 MSRP
• Lip Quip lip oil, $12 MSRP

“We are thrilled to be working alongside Addison. She is an expert storyteller, an inspirational social media pioneer, and she has an uncanny ability to captivate and mobilize a community,” said Jennifer Gosselin, General Manager of Madeby Collective. “As the brand’s Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer, Addison is not just the face of ITEM, she is the driving creative force behind every product concept and campaign that we bring to market.”
