On a drizzly evening in Gillingham, Kent, Hong—a makeup artist with a passion for precision—found herself wrestling with dim lighting while preparing for a client’s photoshoot. Frustrated by the harsh shadows and unflattering tones, she dreamed of a mirror that could replicate the warm, even glow of Hollywood dressing rooms.

El Mehdi, her partner and a tech enthusiast with an eye for design, noticed her struggle. “What if we create that perfect light?” he suggested, setting down his tools. That night, over sketches and endless cups of tea, Glowique was born—a brand built to transform everyday routines into moments of glamour, one mirror at a time.
