Emily Weiss On Why Glossier Isn’t A Trend Brand

MECCA Talks

In today’s episode, Kate is joined by Emily Weiss, founder of Glossier, to celebrate the launch of her cult-loved brand into Australia and New Zealand, exclusively at MECCA.

After leaving a career in fashion to work full-time on her popular beauty blog, Into The Gloss, Emily saw a gap in the market for a brand that had a customer-focused, “Skin First. Makeup Second.” philosophy. It was that idea that led to the launch of Glossier in 2014, which quickly became the NYC ‘it’ brand beauty lovers globally were desperate to get their hands on. 10 years (and a lot of pink) later, the brand has amassed a cult following thanks to iconic products such as Boy Brow, Balm Dot Com and the Glossier You Fragrance.

Now, Emily is in Australia, and here with us in the studio, to give us the low-down on MECCA’s most requested brand ever.

Glossier Balm Dotcom Lip Balm and Skin Salve in 'Birthday'

Glossier Boy Brow Volumizing Eyebrow Gel-Pomade
