Everything You Need to Know to Make a Beauty Product with Magic Dusk's CEO & Founder Daniel Kiyoi Mar 19, 2021

Show notes

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to create a beauty product from scratch, consider today’s episode your first lesson. Our guest knows A LOT about making makeup and skincare products from ideation to launch, thanks to his decade-long career working in the industry. Daniel Kiyoi became the Creative Director of Tarte at just 26 years old and is responsible for helping create and design some of the brand’s most popular products. Now, he’s creating beauty brands under his own incubator agency called Magic Dusk. (That Luminizer Kirbie was raving about a few episodes ago? That’s Daniel’s co-creation.) Daniel chats with us about how he landed in the industry, how his mom’s career at Mary Kay influenced his passion for beauty, and what entrepreneurs should know about starting their own line.

If The Ordinary and La Mer are Owned By The Same Company, What Does That Mean When It Comes to Formulas? Mar 17, 2021

Show notes

The business of beauty is a big one, but when it comes down to it, there are eight mega companies that have a hold on the cosmetic market and own a huge number of our favorite makeup, hair, and skincare brands. On today’s episode, we break down which brands are sisters and what parent conglomerates own them, from L’Oreal to LVMH. You might be surprised to learn that your favorite drugstore lipstick is made by the same company that formulates your go-to luxury moisturizer. That said, just because a company owns different brands doesn't mean they swap trade secrets, or even that their formulas change. Learn about what companies own what brands, which incubators are on the rise, and get your top acquisition questions answered.

From Euphoria Makeup to Applying Pubic Hair, Donni Davy Pulls Back the Curtain on Set Life For a Makeup Artist Mar 12, 2021

Show notes

You don’t need to be a fan of the show ‘Euphoria’ to understand the impact Donni Davy’s makeup artistry has had on the industry, let alone pop culture. Those rhinestone-studded cat eyes or glitter tears that’s been crowding your IG feed? It’s all thanks to Donni’s influence. And while we’re obsessed with the bold and unapologetic makeup movement she helped start, there is so much more to Donni’s work than meets the eye (no pun intended). On today’s episode, we sit down (virtually, of course) with the Emmy award-winning makeup artist to hear how she got her start on Craigslist, what it’s like to be a makeup department head, and how she develops the looks for her characters, both for TV and film. She also shares the one product that is always in her kit (surprise, it’s affordable!) and discusses her new face decal collaboration with Face Lace. Makeup lovers, aspiring MUAs, and ‘Euphoria’ fans do not want to miss this episode!

Droplette: Meet the Founders Behind the NASA-Backed Skincare Device + All Your Questions, Answered Mar 05, 2021

Show notes

A few weeks back, we raved about the one and only Droplette: a misting device that uses technology to deliver ingredients not on top of the skin, but into the skin. Looking for a solution for a medical disorder, founders Madhavi Gavini and Rathi Srinivas saw the value Droplette offered the skincare industry, and thus a device was born. We had so many questions about the product itself after featuring it on What's on Your Face that we figured the best people to answer your questions would be the founders themselves! If you're considering getting a Droplette, listen to this ep first to learn the science behind it, how it works, the proper way to use it, and what ingredients they have to offer. If you decide it's something you'd want to invest in, use code GLOSSANGELES at checkout to get $50 off your purchase!

What Went Wrong With Becca Cosmetics? The First Big Color Cosmetics Shutdown Shook Us All Mar 02, 2021

Show notes

We are still in shock from the news that after 20 years, Becca Cosmetics will cease operations in September. We have our thoughts on what could have ultimately lead to the downfall of the cosmetics brand. In our new (and certainly recurring) segment Celebrity Skin, we have a slew of celebrity launches to discuss. (Yes, more!) We dive into one of the incubators behind many celebrity-lead brands to give intel on what we may see more of in the future. Plus, there's a ton of new product launches you'll want to be on the lookout for, from a new setting powder from a Sara-beloved brand to body makeup from Robyn "Rihanna" Fenty herself. This week Kirbie caps off the show with a luminizer you'll be gunning to get your hands on.

From TV Rejection to the #1 Selling Lipstick in Target: The Lip Bar's Melissa Butler on How to Persist with Grace Feb 26, 2021

Show notes

In 2015, Melissa Butler pitched her brilliant business on ‘Shark Tank’ — a bold, colorful, and inclusive beauty line that she believed would disrupt the market. She was rejected and criticized, but that didn’t stop her. Years later, The Lip Bar would become one of Target’s best-selling makeup brands, garnering a huge fan base which included the likes of Michelle Obama (more on that in the episode!). Now, Melissa is partnering with Walmart to make her incredible beauty products even more accessible to everyone. In our interview, Melissa shares how she got into Target (it involves a blind email), the sacrifices she had to make to grow the brand, and why she’s so excited about working with a corporate retail giant, despite its bad rep. Plus, Melissa shares a Gloss Angeles exclusive having to do with her organization The BLK PACT — you don’t want to miss it.

Kate Somerville on The Importance of Peptides, Why She Takes Two Baths a Day, and Creating a Homegrown LA Brand Feb 19, 2021

Show notes

When it comes to celebrity estheticians in Hollywood, Kate Somerville is the OG. Kirbie and Sara have been longtime fans of Kate and her products, as well as her famous clinic on Melrose Place. But there’s a lot more to know about Kate than the famous faces she’s worked on or the skincare she’s made. In our interview with the legend herself, Kate shares stories about growing up in a barn, her battle with eczema, and how she transformed Janet Gaynor's (the first woman to win an Academy Award) old home into a beauty institution. We also picked her brain about the future of aesthetics, why peptides are so necessary, and the latest addition to her skincare range, KateCeuticals.
