YouTube’s Beauty Festival is back — and for the first time ever, Shoppable! On June 16, fans around the world can tune in to see 2022’s biggest stars and hottest brands come together for the ultimate celebration of beauty on YouTube, hosted by YouTube's Head of Fashion and Beauty, Derek Blasberg, LIVE from Los Angeles and on YouTube.com/BeautyFest.
If you can’t wait until June 16 to get your beauty fix, we are excited to announce YouTube’s FIRST-EVER Shoppable Shorts Challenge. On Wednesday, June 8, Glossier will launch their never-before-seen No. 1 Pencil eyeliner exclusively on YouTube Shorts, led by music artist and beauty-lover Kehlani, and fans can use the hashtag #WrittenInGlossier to participate! Every Short created with the hashtag will be Shoppable using the link directly on the video. From June 8 through YouTube’s Beauty Festival on June 16, the pencil (available in 10 colors!) will EXCLUSIVELY be available for purchase via YouTube Shorts and directly on the YouTube #BeautyFest livestream.
Want to join the challenge?
- Start recording a YouTube Short!
- Start with showing us your fresh face.
- Apply makeup, but don’t blend it in! A tap of Glossier Cloud Paint here, a swipe of Glossier Stretch Concealer there–we want to see it pre-blended, really focusing on where and how you apply it.
- Add a few swipes of eyeliner. (Again, doesn’t have to be perfected or blended just yet!)
- Transition with your hand to camera lens.
- Show off your final look, in all its blended, diffused or sharp-winged glory.
- In your video, use the hashtag #WrittenInGlossier in both your video title and description to join the challenge
