Beloved country music star Dolly Parton seems to always be full of surprises – and she just made an announcement that has her fans feeling “very excited”!
Parton’s Big Announcement
Parton, 78, has been known for decades for her glamorous look. Now, fans will have the chance to use her iconic colorful makeup for themselves.
Parton just took to Instagram to announce her new cosmetics line “Dolly Beauty.”
“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.
No release date for Dolly Beauty has been revealed at this time. However, the line will include a collection of striking “bedazzled lipsticks” in four shades with names like “Jolene Red” and “Rosebud.”
The best part? Each of these shades will retail for $20.
“I’ve always said I never leave a rhinestone unturned,” Parton told WWD. “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 makeup things at home when I was just a kid, and I’ve been known for wearing makeup—usually too much—for years.”
“I like to name my products after songs,” she added, going on to say that the other shades are Honey Plum, and Birthday Suit.

Fans Respond
Fans were quick to express their excitement in the comments section.
“So excited! A brand I can feel good about supporting?! Yesss,” wrote one fan. Another added, “I CANNOT WAIT AND WILL BUY EVERYTHING.”
“Whatever you’re selling, we’re buying!!!!!” a third fan wrote.
Parton has famously said that she often wears a full face of makeup to bed.
“Lord knows, nobody wears more makeup than me,” she admitted. “I have to be involved in everything, and I sample and try things and say, ‘Oh, that’s not great, let’s go back and do this or that.’ Whether it being the packaging, where it says my name, I want them to think of me when they use it.”
This is set to be Parton’s first makeup launch, but not her first foray into the beauty industry. She’s previously entered the fragrance world with a partnership with Scent Beauty to release everything from popular perfumes to bestselling body mists. Parton has also long considered entering the world of, you guessed it, hair!
“I’ve always wanted my own wig line,” she revealed. “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.”

Parton’s Own Unique Look
Back in 2021, Parton opened up about where her own unique look comes from.
“My own over exaggerated look came from a serious place I’ve often spoken about: the town tramp in our little country hometown,” she said at the time. “They called her trash, but to me she was absolutely beautiful.”
“She wore colorful patchwork skirts and pretty blouses and showed a little cleavage and had red nails and piled up blonde hair and red lipstick and high heels,” Parton continued. “She was the prettiest thing I’d ever seen. When everybody would say, ‘Oh, she’s just trash,’ I’d say, ‘Well, trash is what I’m going to grow up to be.’”
Parton truly is a one of a kind woman. We can’t wait to see her makeup line when it comes out!
