Join Cosmetic Industry/ Make-up Artist mavens Hillary Clark-Mina and Susan Gerdeman as they discuss life and how it relates to the world of beauty - inside and out - as beauty veterans who have been in the trenches (behind the counters and behind the scenes) with more than 5 decades of combined experience. Share product reviews, talk about facing life with fine lines, learn tips & techniques, and join beauty industry guests to get in on the “Glossip”. Serious and seriously irreverent. Enjoy lots of laughter and tears- but no mess - our mascara is waterproof.
