Pretty Smart is a budget makeup brand from the United States, founded in 2024 by Marissa Shipman. It's best known for its Walmart-exclusive distribution, Luxury-inspired makeup under $10 and Broad shade ranges (145+ variations).

Pretty Smart is an affordable, Walmart-exclusive makeup brand that launched in June 2024, founded by beauty-industry veteran Marissa Shipman — the entrepreneur behind theBalm Cosmetics — as part of family-owned Renfield Manufacturing. Developed in partnership with Walmart's merchandising team, the brand is vertically integrated to deliver luxury-inspired formulas and packaging at a mass-market price, with every product landing between roughly $7.50 and $10.

The debut assortment spans complexion, cheek, eye, and lip — foundations, concealers, mascaras, blushes, and brow gels — with 27 products and more than 145 shade variations built for broad inclusivity. Positioned as "luxury beauty at a smart price," Pretty Smart competes directly with drugstore staples and is a natural landing spot for shoppers hunting affordable dupes of prestige complexion and cheek products.
