SZA is stepping into the world of business with the launch of her own makeup line, “Not Beauty,” a venture inspired by her personal needs and the constant questions from fans about her lip combinations. The Grammy Award-winning singer, who has already made a name for herself in music and acting, sat down with Jennifer Hudson to share her exciting new endeavor.
As SZA explained, the idea for her makeup line stemmed from a necessity. “I’m constantly singing and I’m a certified yapper,” she joked. Due to her profession, she needed makeup products that were long-lasting, particularly for her lips, which led to the creation of her own line. “I pretty much just designed my own formula for lip gloss, lip creams, lip liners, and stains,” SZA shared, adding that she had a hand in crafting a range of products that would suit her specific needs.
The name “Not Beauty” reflects SZA’s down-to-earth perspective on beauty. She doesn’t consider herself a “beauty connoisseur,” but instead prefers to create functional products that are trusted and effective. “I like to fill a need with things that are functional and trusted and that’s how this was born,” she explained.
While fans can expect lip glosses, liners, and stains among the offerings, these products won’t be found in stores just yet. Instead, SZA’s line will be sold exclusively during her upcoming Grand National tour, making it a limited-time opportunity for her followers to snag a piece of the singer’s new business venture.
SZA’s Aspiring Acting Career: Storm in the MCU
Alongside her entrepreneurial ambitions, SZA is also eyeing a future in acting. The singer recently made her onscreen debut in One Of Those Days, co-starring with Keke Palmer. However, she revealed that she has her sights set on a particular role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: the iconic superhero Storm.
SZA shared her excitement about the potential opportunity, expressing a deep connection to the character. “I think it would be so gnarly if I could be Storm’s origin story,” she said, adding that her love of comic books, shared with her father, made her the “perfect” fit for the role. The “Kill Bill” singer sees the superhero role as a chance to bring something new to her acting career and delve into a powerful character’s backstory.
