Behind the August 2025 Glam Bag Design

This month’s Glam Bag design is all about joy, vibrancy, and showing off the little things that make you you. IPSY designer Joanne Wong channeled the energy of gemstone face crystals, vivid nail art, and the fearless beauty expression of Latinx communities in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month.

“Gemstone-inspired. Joyful. Colorblocking,” says Wong. “I wanted to bring together simplicity and playfulness, so we went bold with the bag colors, then added this heart-shaped zipper pull that’s covered in faux gemstones, each one a different color and shape.”

The front? A pop of hot pink. The back? A deep lazuli blue. Together, they make a dynamic duo of rich color and clean contrast. And yes, you will pause just to admire the zipper pull. (We’ve all done it.)

“I wanted to mix simplicity and playfulness for this month’s Glam Bag design,” says Wong. “Gemstones come in different shapes and different colors, and I want to capture that in our zipper puller. In September, we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. The colors of pop pink, emerald green, and lazuli blue reflect the lively culture and beauty expressions of Latinx communities.”

Let’s be real: This is more than just a makeup bag. It’s a little reminder to shine bright, express yourself, and not shy away from the playful parts of who you are. Add some enamel pins. Toss in your boldest lip. Zip it open with big gem energy. However you carry it, this Glam Bag is here to hype you up, because you deserve to feel like a jewel every day.
