After quietly shuffling off of store shelves and shuttering operations in 2021, Marc Jacobs Beauty is posed to turn its disappearing act into a major comeback. A new 15-year licensing deal between Coty and Marc Jacobs confirms that Marc Jacobs Beauty is coming back, largely due to popular demand.
LVMH’s Kendo and Sephora’s beauty incubator launched Marc Jacobs Beauty in 2013, and the brand immediately struck a chord with celebrities and everyday shoppers. Jessica Lange, Irina Shayk, Kaia Gerber, Winona Ryder, and Adwoa Aboah were just a few faces of Marc Jacobs Beauty 1.0. The brand reeled in influential ambassadors like Selena Gomez’s go-to makeup artist Hung Vanngo and Sarah Tanno, who’s responsible for many of Lady Gaga’s iconic makeup looks. Jacobs himself often wore the products on red carpets and around town.

Yes, Marc Jacobs Beauty had star power, but it also had an ahead-of-its-time approachability and playfulness that set it apart from other designer beauty labels — and made the masses fall in love. The pigments were rich and buttery, the colors carefully curated, and the packaging? Tactile and modern with heirloom-worthy appeal. This beauty editor still can’t part with her limited-edition Very Merry Cherry Eye-Conic Eyeshadow Palette.

For a brand born in the 2010s, Marc Jacobs Beauty never seemed fussed with trends, bypassing the contour craze and no-makeup makeup movements of the decade. Rather, the brand created products that encouraged individuality and creativity.
After closely following Marc Jacobs Beauty in its prime, I have a few hopes for what the 2.0 version of the brand will bring. I predict Marc Jacobs Beauty will come back bolder than ever, with technicolor pigments, sensorial formulas, and foundations and concealers that suit more skin tones. And like so many others, I’m praying that Marc Jacobs Beauty 2.0 includes re-releases of its most iconic items.
The new Marc Jacobs Beauty is predicted to hit shelves in 2025 — I know, I know — but gorgeous things come to those who wait.
The Best Marc Jacobs Beauty Products
Marc Jacobs Beauty Velvet Noir Mascara
The Velvet Noir Mascara is at the top of this editor’s wishlist. This volumizing mascara featured densely-packed, spindly bristles. Where most mascaras list “smudge-proof” as a selling point, Velvet Noir had a way of wearing into your lash line for a lived in look (less Jenny Humphrey, more 2015 Cara Delevingne).

Marc Jacobs Beauty Eye-Conic Eyeshadow Palette
It’s all in the name with Marc Jacobs Beauty’s Eye-Conic Eyeshadow Palettes, each of which came studded with seven powder eyeshadows in boundary-pushing shade combos and finishes. Think Pat McGrath Labs’ palettes, but on a smaller, more simplified scale. Depending on the palette, you’d open the compact to find a range of wearable neutrals — or eclectic combos like icy white, lilac, and burgundy. Somehow, you’d find yourself dipping into each pan.

Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner Gel Eye Crayon
Ah, the only eye pencil that never dries out, even when it’s well past its expiration date (guilty). Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner Gel Eye Crayons originally launched in 12 core shades but expanded to over 30, including swoon-worthy limited-edition tones that ranged from tawny bronze to hot pink. But its more than the color range that makes the Highliner legendary; this waterproof eyeliner featured melt-on-your-skin texture that has yet to be replicated.

Lancome Monsieur Big Volumizing Mascara
If you’re one of many who’s missing Marc Jacobs Beauty’s Velvet Noir Mascara, Lancôme’s Monsieur Big mascara will tide you over. This TikTok-famous beauty product may not feature the hourglass-shaped wand that Velvet Noir is known for, however the formula lends similar volume — you just may need a couple coats.

Mac Cosmetics Connect In Colour Eyeshadow Palette
With eyeshadows in satin, shimmery, and matte finishes, Mac Cosmetics’ Connect In Colour Eyeshadow Palette steps up to the plate in the absence of Marc Jacobs Beauty’s Eye-Conic eyeshadow palette. Mac’s may not have as punchy pigments as Marc’s, but you’ll get similar color payoff and finish options to choose from.

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil
Pigmented and dreamy to apply, Urban Decay’s 24/7 Glide-On Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil is the closest eyeliner on the market to Marc Jacobs Beauty’s Highliner Gel Eye Crayon. It’s offered in 33 shades in different finishes, ranging from metallics to satin and matte. It doesn’t have as much play time as the Highliner when you apply it, but you can expect similar wear time.
