OpenSky Beauty will offer shoppers insider access to tricks of the trade in all areas of beauty, including skin care, hair care, color, wellness, scent, nails and beyond.

“We are creating a really powerful tool for shoppers by giving them a way to engage in meaningful conversation around things they want to buy with top experts in their fields and then share those discoveries with other shoppers,” said Allison Slater, general manager of beauty and healthy living at OpenSky.  “It's equally exciting for the industry experts who have spent their life in the beauty business and can now directly share their knowledge with others in a new social way.”

Designed for the shopper who craves originality, excitement and discovery, OpenSky members can shop directly from their personalized homepage, which features an active feed of new products recommended by the experts they have chosen to connect with.
