Kandi Burruss’ Business Grind Continues as She Prepares to Launch Makeup Line

Posted byBy Kiersten Willis | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Kandi Burruss’ business reign just won’t let up. “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star already has a successful restaurant and adult toy line. Now, Burruss is stepping into the makeup game with Kandi Koated.

The cosmetics brand was announced across Burruss’ personal and business social media profiles Monday, Aug. 13 and it’s clear the singer is beyond excited to join the likes of Rihanna in the diverse makeup space.

“I’ve been on the grind y’all! I’ve got a new makeup line coming out called #KandiKoated!!!! Right now It’s only gonna be available to sell thru my #BedroomKandi consultants. It’s a must-have,” Burruss said on IG Monday.

Kandi Koated is described as “a luxury line of cosmetics dedicated to accentuating and celebrating beauty in all its diversity,” according to the official website. The cruelty-free brand includes color palettes for a wide variety of complexions and has a range of shades, too, from nude lipsticks to metallic eyeshadows.

Many fans have been fawning over the announcement.

“Nice one Kandi gurrl… I love that we can purchase makeup that will be suitable for my skin too.”

“Congrats sis and keep doing ya thang.”

“Girl your always moving and shaking making good things happen for you and your family. Congratulations on your makeup line wishing you much success.”

“Kandi you are the definition of a true hustler & boss 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 you need your own show based around business.”

“Love it. Boss moves, then some more. All while looking amazing. #goals.”

Burruss’ KK Beauty line is the latest business venture the star has launched. She recently celebrated the continued success of her Bedroom Kandi toy line over the weekend, which she started in 2011. Additionally, the success of her Atlanta restaurant Old Lady Gang, which she opened with husband Todd Tucker in 2017, has led to the development of a second location in the city.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
