Prior to the partnership, Kylie owned 100 per cent of the company since its launch in 2015, however, both sides have confirmed she'll still be just as involved as ever - she will still be the face of the brand and will “lead all creative efforts of product development and communication initiatives.”
"I’m excited to partner with Coty to continue to reach even more fans of Kylie Cosmetics and Kylie Skin around the world," Kylie said in a statement. "I look forward to continuing the creativity and ingenuity for each collection that consumers have come to expect and engaging with my fans across social media.
