Selena Gomez’s journey with Rare Beauty has been nothing short of remarkable, but perhaps even more surprising is the unexpected support she’s received from her Only Murders in the Building co-stars, Steve Martin and Martin Short. At the recent WWD Beauty Inc. Awards in New York City, Gomez shared insights into how her on-screen family became ardent fans of her beauty brand.
During the event where she was honored with the prestigious 2023 Pete Born Impact Award, Gomez revealed with a hint of humor that she didn’t hesitate to introduce her Rare Beauty products to Martin and Short, even going as far as insisting they use the foundation on set. “I kind of forced them, yeah, I did,” Gomez quipped, adding, “I was like, ‘This is totally your skin complexion. I think you’d look great.'” It turns out, her persuasion tactics worked, as both Martin and Short embraced Rare Beauty as their go-to brand.
Despite the light-hearted banter, Gomez confirmed in an interview with WWD that her co-stars genuinely enjoy using her products. This endorsement from such esteemed comedians underscores the quality and versatility of Rare Beauty, transcending the boundaries of traditional celebrity endorsements.
But their support goes beyond occasional product use. Just two months prior, Martin Short stood by Gomez’s side as she hosted the inaugural Rare Impact Fund Benefit in October. Expressing their mutual admiration, Short humorously remarked on the red carpet, “We adore each other. Well, I adore her and she pretends to like me. It works out.”
The camaraderie shared between Gomez and her Only Murders in the Building co-stars not only reflects genuine friendship but also highlights the inclusive and community-driven ethos of Rare Beauty. By bridging the worlds of entertainment and beauty, Gomez continues to champion authenticity and empowerment through her brand, garnering support from unexpected quarters.
As Gomez continues to evolve her beauty empire, her collaboration with Martin and Short serves as a testament to the universal appeal of Rare Beauty and the profound impact it has on individuals from all walks of life. Through genuine connections and a commitment to positive change, Gomez is not only reshaping the beauty industry but also fostering meaningful relationships that extend far beyond the silver screen.
