According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, the trademark covers a wide range of beauty products such as makeup, fake lashes, face mask, nail polish, body oils, shaving cream, haircare, perfume, toothpaste, deodorant and more!

Interestingly, the “Yeezy” trademark also covers scented pine cones and aromatherapy pillows.

Unsurprisingly, the people of the Internet have feelings about West’s new venture. Some people reacted in surprise, while others got a laugh out of it.

One social media user wrote, “Kanye West is bringing out Yeezy beauty and skincare products…….what???” Another person tweeted, “Can’t wait for Kanye’s makeup tutorials!”

There’s no doubt that West will be in good company when it comes to the new beauty line. But some fans wonder why he would start a competing brand since Kim’s KKW Beauty, is wildly successful.

“But why does Kanye have to set up a makeup brand when Kim already has one,” asked one Twitter user. Another questioned “why would he want to be competing against Kim.”

Sister-in-law Kylie Jenner also founded Kylie Cosmetics in 2014 and then Kylie Skin in 2019. Last November, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star announced that she sold a 51 percent stake in both companies to beauty giant Coty for a whopping $600 million.
