International Women’s Day is more than just a date on the calendar. It’s a moment to reflect on the progress women have made, acknowledge the challenges that still exist, and celebrate the creativity, resilience and strength of women everywhere.
As a woman-owned brand, this day holds a special meaning for us. Glisten was built on the belief that creativity should be accessible, expressive, and empowering. Makeup is art - but it’s also confidence, identity, and self-expression. And so much of that creativity is driven by the incredible women in our community.
From bold editorial looks to soft celestial glam, the women who inspire us constantly push boundaries and redefine what beauty can look like. Today we’re celebrating just a few of the talented female creators who continue to inspire the Glisten community every day.
