The deal would mark a shift in strategy and expand into the prestige beauty market as e.l.f. faces weak demand from mass market customers.

E.l.f. Beauty acquired Hailey Bieber's Rhode brand for $800M, potentially reaching $1B. This marks E.l.f.'s largest acquisition and crucial as E.l.f. growth slows.

Model Hailey Bieber's makeup and skincare brand, Rhode, is being snapped up by Elf Beauty for about $1 billion, giving the budget cosmetic retailer access to a celebrity-endorsed product line that has become hugely popular among Gen Z and millennials.
