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's 2021 funding was used to open flagship brick-and-mortar stores in Seattle, Los Angeles, and London, with a store in New York opening in 2023. It plans to open dozens of new stores in the US and globally over the coming years to enable customers to move fluidly between immersive and personalized eCommerce and retail experiences.
