Billy Porter Debuts His Beauty Brand “Black Mona Lisa”

Billy Porter has launched Black Mona Lisa, a new makeup and skincare line named after his fifth studio album. The collection includes products such as collagen and retinol serum, face cleanser, eye cream, liquid lipstick, and eye shimmers, with prices ranging from $9.99 to $66.99. Porter emphasizes that the line is about self-exploration and expressing authentic identity.

His own skincare journey began at age 14, leading to a career in exploring different personas both on and off-stage. Porter values the influence of younger generations in shaping a more fluid and authentic expression of identity. The brand aims to provide lightweight, easy-to-use products that allow for personal freedom.

A focus on diversity is key, as Porter aims to offer shades suitable for all skin types before launching a foundation line. He highlights the eye shimmers as a standout product. Porter envisions expanding Black Mona Lisa beyond beauty to include clothing, shoes, and cookware. The products are available on blackmonalisabeauty.com.
