Gloss Angeles — Arts
Gloss Angeles

Co-hosts and longtime beauty journalists Kirbie Johnson and Sara Tan give their perspective on all things makeup, skincare, and wellness at the intersection of pop culture and entertainment. Experts in the field and friends IRL, they pull back the curtain on trends, treatments and popular products — all the things you’re likely searching or watching on TikTok. (They’d know — they’ve spent 10 years creating and optimizing editorial content for mainstream digital beauty publishers.) Tuesday episodes reveal the most notable beauty headlines with informed takes while Friday episodes feature guests from experts in the industry to celebrity spokespeople, including Hailey Bieber, Halsey, Selena Gomez; Dr. Jason Diamond, Danessa Myricks, Mario Dedivanovic, The Lipstick Lesbians and more.

How Women and Men Determine Attractiveness Based on Lip Size Apr 22, 2025

We’ve got a short news episode today but we cover a lot of ground! Sara shares a story from The Cut about whether or not fragrance should be allowed when you’re getting on a flight. Then, tariffs are taking their toll yet again — this time, it’s coming for the aesthetics industry. Could it be time to kick your Botox appointments? Finally, a recent study showed how women and men differ when it comes to what they find attractive in terms of lips, and the findings are a great conversation starter.

We have one episode this and next week, then back to our normal schedule in May!

The Secret Sauce Behind Ultra Violette’s Best-Selling Sunscreens Apr 18, 2025

Beauts Ava Matthews and Bec Jefferd stopped by the studio before heading back to Oz to talk about the brand’s expansion into the US and launch in Sephora. The ladies explain why they formulate for every country, what they think about sunscreen boosters in US formulations, misinformation about sunscreen as a whole, what they pay for their employees to get done, and what “gives them the shits” about how sunscreen is marketed.

Becoming the Artist and the Muse with Violette_FR's Violette Serrat Apr 11, 2025

Show notes

In this special live episode recorded at SCAD during SCAD Style, we sit down with the effortlessly chic Violette Serrat—makeup artist, creative powerhouse, and founder of Violette_FR.

We dive into her nontraditional path into beauty, what sets a Violette_FR product apart from the rest, and how she balances being both the creative visionary and the business mind behind the brand. Violette also shares what it really takes to launch at Sephora, how she defines the iconic French-girl aesthetic, and the unexpected influences—from David Bowie to Japanese minimalism—that shape her approach.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Gloss Angeles without some beauty recs: Violette dishes on her ride-or-die French pharmacy products, her essential hair staples, and how to pull off a bold eye or lip without looking overdone.

SUPER WOYF: What We're Wearing and What YOU'RE Loving! Mar 27, 2025

Show notes

Where did WOYF go? We retired the weekly segment a few years ago because we felt it wasn't very conscientious of us to recommend a new product every single week. However, we each have a few products we've been testing and loving to share with you. Plus, we share some of your picks and even a few products you want to deinfluence us from buying! Also, please vote for us in People's Readers' Choice Awards!
