A new organization called BeautyUnited has been initiated by Beautycon’s CEO Moj Mahdara, and is setting out to do two things amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. This initiative will first give support to the Frontline Responders Fund, a service that delivers medical supplies to frontline COVID-19 workers in most need of personal protective equipment. BeautyUnited will show their support in rallying and encouraging donations for the Frontline Responders Fund, with a goal of at least $10 million. “I stand in solidarity with beauty and wellness founders to mobilize the resources we have to support doctors, nurses, and all the healthcare workers on the front lines of this pandemic,” Mahdara said in a statement. “We are resolved to support in collective actions that can have a big global impact. Now is the time to be united.”

The second half of this initiative will see a roster of 40 beauty brands coming together to donate personal-care supplies to the frontline workers in this pandemic. Gwyneth Paltrow, Drew Barrymore, Victoria Beckham, Huda Kattan, Bobbi Brown and Charlotte Tilbury are among the names participating in this philanthropic initiative. Donations to support BeautyUnited’s efforts can be made here.

It’s Live! Since our company’s inception, we’ve believed in beauty being a conduit for connection, and created people-first experiences physically and digitally to help our community build out their routines. Today, we’re excited to launch a pilot of Glossier Live Edit, a new video chat program where you can connect virtually with a Glossier team member (AKA a Live Editor) for your very own, 1-to-1 Top Shelf treatment. This is a personal time and space for YOU: show-and-tell your routine and what you want out of it, ask beauty questions (about Glossier and beyond), and share products you're loving—we'll share ours too. Now more than ever feels like the time to connect ✨ We’re kicking off this Friday with 150 appointments (15 minutes each) and will go from there… First come, first serve…❗️Currently full! We’ll keep you posted when more appointments are available ❗️(BTW… hoodie restock is in the works 😊)

The pilot round offered 150 appointments, which filled overwhelmingly fast. Check in on Glossier’s Instagram for of-the-moment updates.
