My favourite Dolly Parton song is Jolene this Makeup Monday we celebrate the Dolly Parton Lipstick Launch with Rhinestones and Cowgirls that ‘Dream of Glamour.’ With four lipsticks — one even named Jolene Red — Dolly Beauty launched on Aug. 22, 2024. Celebrity beauty has never been so enthralled.
Dolly Parton Lipstick Launch
After launching fragrance in 2021, country music icon Dolly Parton is deepening her beauty entrepreneurial footprint with a makeup line and it’s everything you would expect. The launch, beginning with Dolly Beauty’s Heaven’s Kiss lipstick collection available in four shades for sale on its website for $20 each, is in distinctly Dolly nomenclature and packaging, encompassed in sparkling rhinestones.
“I’ve always said I never leave a rhinestone unturned,” “I’ve wanted to be pretty my whole life like most girls, especially country girls who have a dream of glamour. I started creating my little makeup things at home when I was just a kid, and I’ve been known for wearing makeup — usually too much — for years.”

Parton’s appeal is universal, boasting 7 million followers on Instagram alone.
“It’s important to create things that people that do wear makeup can enjoy,” Parton said. “You have to have a variety of colours.”
Her knowledge as a consumer informed the genesis of the brand. “Every time I put on makeup, I’ll find certain things I want to put in the line. A great, thicker gloss, or a pearly gloss, or something that I’ve used and will find in an old drawer I remember loving,” Parton said. “Lord knows, nobody wears more makeup than me, so I know all the little things I want.”
The four lipsticks share names like Jolene Red — “I like to name my products after songs,” she said. Then there’s Honey Plum, Rosebud and Birthday Suit, with the shades running the gamut from scarlet to neutral tones to a pale pink.
Dolly Beauty also has adjacent makeup categories across complexion, eye and lip in the pipeline, though Parton didn’t rule out other territories for expansion.
“I’ve always wanted my wig line,” Parton mused. “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.”
