Brax Girl Ed 16: Shannon Nuques

The Visionary Behind GLAMGLOW and Gracyn Sky

Introducing Shannon Nuques—a self-made entrepreneur, a devoted mother, and a woman whose brilliance has reshaped the beauty world.

Shannon is best known as the co-founder of GLAMGLOW, the globally celebrated skincare brand loved by celebrities, skincare experts, and beauty lovers alike. But what makes her story even more remarkable is that it all started with no formal beauty background—just a conversation with a friend, a spark of creativity, and the courage to dream big.

With relentless determination, she turned that idea into a worldwide sensation. Her unwavering passion for product development and innovation led GLAMGLOW to become a go-to brand for results-driven, cutting-edge skincare. Eventually, the brand’s phenomenal success led to its acquisition by Estée Lauder Companies, solidifying Shannon’s legacy in the beauty industry.

More Than a Brand Builder

After GLAMGLOW, Shannon didn’t slow down. With her husband Luciano, she launched Gracyn Sky, a bamboo clothing brand for toddlers that blends sustainability, softness, and social good. A portion of its proceeds goes toward helping newborns in need—just another way Shannon continues to build with purpose.

Businesswoman. Wife. Mom. Mentor.

Despite her incredible career, Shannon’s most cherished role is that of mom to two daughters. She gracefully balances the demands of running multiple brands while remaining deeply present in her family life. Her strong moral compass not only grounds her as a leader but serves as a guiding light for her daughters—and for women navigating entrepreneurship with heart.

She finds her peace in family, art, and purposeful living. Her secret to thriving in all areas of life?

“Moments of stillness, a strong sense of connection, and never losing sight of what matters most.”

Shannon Nuques reminds us that success doesn’t have to come at the cost of softness—and that strength rooted in values is the most beautiful kind. Her journey is an inspiration to dreamers, doers, and every woman building a life that’s uniquely her own.
