Rhode Expands Into Makeup With Pocket Bronze and Highlight Milk

Rhode debuted a pocket-sized bronzer alongside a hybrid luminizer online to test demand ahead of a planned Sephora rollout later this summer.

Overview

  • Rhode released its summer collection on June 9 with Pocket Bronze, Highlight Milk, limited lip shades, a pocket brush and branded accessories sold first on rhodeskin.com.
  • Highlight Milk is a lightweight, multipurpose luminizer that uses Rhode’s Glazing Milk base and lists ceramides, glycerin and vitamin E as key hydrating ingredients.
  • Pocket Bronze is a creamy, buildable stick bronzer offered in multiple shades that Rhode says includes peptides and tamanu oil to keep the finish smooth and hydrated.
  • Founder Hailey Bieber fronts the campaign and the brand is supporting the online-first drop with summer pop-up stations in the U.S., Canada and Europe to drive trials and urgency.
  • The launch marks a tested move from skincare into makeup for Rhode after its e.l.f. Beauty acquisition and the company expects a wider Sephora rollout later this summer that could broaden distribution and fuel quick sellouts.
