Our company We’re Glossier - a beauty company inspired by real life. Founded in 2014 by Emily Weiss, we’ve been expanding our product offering which started as a capsule collection of skincare essentials launched as an extension of Into The Gloss website. We’re redifying luxury: it’s not the price anymore - it’s an experience.
7
_our vision We believe in efficacious formulas, thoughtful design, and enabling conversation (which is where it all starts). We don’t believe beauty is made in a boardroom—it happens when you get involved.

_fonts Aperçu is the primary font of Glossier which represents the simplicity of our brand. Make sure you use Aperçu font to keep all the marketing material unified. Aperçu Bold we use for headlines on all brand communications. Aperçu Regular we use for body text on all brand communications. Aperçu Italic we use for product descriptors on both packaging and the website.

_packaging colour guide White is the base colour for every Glossier packaging. It can stay clean with the logo and product information (a) or paired with our signature pink (b) or the actual colour of a product (c). Alternatively, jars or bottles can be transparent.

Additionally, some other pastel colours can be used for the packaging. These are examples of pastels used in the past. Feel free to use them or take them as a hint when picking next colours in the future (if any doubts, contact our Licencing Manager):
We used shades of red as well:
27
_image guidelines
Both products and models should be photographed on the simple off white or pastel background. The background colour should be similar to the colour of the packaging to complement the product. The photoshoot should be in a studio with the front lighting.
28
Models: Full face and/or close ups focused on the area where the product was used should be captured. Our makeup products should be presented on four models with different skin colours, from light to very dark. Models should preferably have bare shoulders or wear simple tops to keep the clean natural look.
29
_tone of voice We speak to our customers directly in a causal, engaging and non-judgemental voice mixed with tongue-in-cheek humour. Talk to them like you were talking to your best friends (cause that’s who Glossier users are to us).
30
31
_store requirements We currently have a brick-and-mortar showroom in NYC (123 Lafayette St., Penthouse). We also host pop-ups worldwide to provide our customers with a real experience. White and pink is our signature combo - utilise this to maintain the Glossier aeathetic. Fresh-cut flowers should be placed around the store. Products should be arranged in a linear format for a clean look. Glossier images should be hanging on the walls. Candles and music can be additionally used for multisensory in-store experience. 32
Staff (aka ‘editors’): Our staff wear pastel pink Glossier jumpsuits which should be paired with white sneakers. We approach our customers in a friendly helpful way.

_about
We make skincare, makeup, bodycare, and fragrance optimized for real life, inspired by people who use them. As glowy, dewy skin is synonymous with Glossier, our products are invented to bring out one’s best, before reaching for makeup. Then makeup becomes the fun part, not the fix—as it should be.

We created Glossier with Millennial women in mind who are willing to take ownership of their beauty routine and feel good in their own skin. They don’t want to cover themselves behind the makeup but to use it as a tool to boost their natural glow. They’re social media active and enjoy treating themselves - whether it’s travelling or simply a bubble bath.

Communication guidelines
47
Most of our communications happen online. We are digital focused as that’s the space our customers are constantly present in. We have direct and personalised brand-to-consumer approach to make the customer experience as personal as possible.
48
_website Glossier webiste is our e-commerce platform. It also contains a comment section where we get regular feedback on our products.
49
_social media Social media is key for Glossier to build relationships, communicate and share what inspires us. We don’t use it as a one-way promotional tool - we use it to start two-way conversations with our customers because that’s how we know what they need and what to do next. Most of our content is user-generated as we believe they are the most powerful marketers by using word-of-mouth.
