Our take
Weiss, a former stylist and beauty writer, started Glossier as an offshoot of her beauty blog 'Into the Gloss' in 2014. Early on, she got her products into the makeup cabinets of celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Karlie Kloss. Glossier shook up the beauty business by selling items online only in an industry that has always prioritized in-person sales.
Glossier focuses on minimalist products designed with customers' real beauty routines in mind. Its minimalist approach and small number of products mark a stark difference from traditional beauty brands. The company has developed a cult-like following as a beauty brand that emphasises communication with its customers, even involving them in the creation of its products.
The company has experienced impressive growth in recent years, marked by the opening of flagship brick-and-mortar stores in Seattle, Los Angeles, New York, and London. More recently, it expanded further with the launch of its products in Space NK stores across the UK and Ireland, signalling that the brand has no intention of slowing down anytime soon.
