Here’s your weekly recap—the most viewed news stories on our site for the week ended August 6, 2022.
 
Makeup mogul Kylie Jenner received some heat from commenters on social media last week. In recent photos posted on instagram, Jenner appears to be mixing up her own makeup formulas herself in a lab in Milan. Jenner may have intended to show fans how involved and ‘hands-on’ she is while overseeing Kylie Cosmetics—but many commenters were critical.
 
In other news, Glossier announced that it will be restructuring internally as it pivots the business to focus on retail and wholesale—which includes laying off more employees. According to an anonymous source at Modern Retail, Glossier laid off about two dozen employees on Tuesday.
