Coty Inc., rushing to lift its fortunes after a tough start to the year, is doubling down on the Kardashians.

The owner of Max Factor and Covergirl agreed on Monday to buy a 20% stake in Kim Kardashian West’s beauty business for $200 million. The company’s plan to develop skin, hair and nail products under the reality TV star’s brand comes just months after Coty inked a $600 million deal with her sister, Kylie Jenner.
