PROTECT YOUR DNA WITH QUANTUM TECHNOLOGY
Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayFlower Beauty, the makeup brand founded by actor Drew Barrymore, is saying goodbye.
According to Beauty Independent, the line, which made its initial debut at Walmart and later expanded to CVS and Ulta, will close its doors for good.
Barrymore partnered with beauty incubator Maesa on the makeup line, which included complexion products, multitasking lip and cheek sticks, and eye shadow. “Flower Beauty will always hold a special place in Maesa’s story. It was the first brand that Maesa incubated, in close partnership with its visionary founder, Drew Barrymore," reads a statement issued by Maesa to Beauty Independent. According to the statement, Maesa has decided to exit the color cosmetics category entirely. "This shift allows us to focus on areas with greater growth potential and align our resources with our core strengths and consumer demands. We have been fortunate to have Drew Barrymore as a great founder partner, and we are grateful for the incredible journey we have shared.”
Barrymore has not yet made an official statement regarding the end of Flower Beauty. She also runs Beautiful by Drew, a line of kitchen and home goods, plus Flower Eyewear and Flower Hair Tools (all Walmart exclusives). She also, of course, hosts a daytime talk show, The Drew Barrymore Show, which debuted in 2020.
Flower Beauty's customers have noticed the brand's dwindling online presence for a while now; the Flower Beauty Instagram hasn't been updated since the end of 2024, inspiring comments from fans asking why specific products haven't been restocked. The brand's future was brought into question on Reddit nearly a year ago, with users sharing how much they loved specific Flower Beauty products. “Flower has been under-discussed for years and years. So good. Their blush is excellent," wrote one fan. In its almost 13-year run, Flower Beauty scooped up 12 Allure Best of Beauty awards; the Wanderlust Eye Shadow Palette, Bubble Brow Tinted Wax, and Crush Lip Serum have all snagged our top honor.
While the Flower Beauty website is no longer functional, the line is currently on clearance at Ulta.com.
Allure has reached out to Maesa for comment.
