For the moment, the production on the show is paused because of Covid-19.
Glow Up or Blow Up: Disrupting The Beauty Industry with Fan Engagement
‘Blow Up or Glow Up’ is the popular new IGTV show hosted by Liz where women receive a quick, but substantial makeover including but not limited to hair, clothing, makeup, and non-invasive procedures. The genius behind the show is that it incorporates her followers, and the followers of her expert team, as a fundamental part of each episode. This allows her to continue production during covid-19 as well as drive engagement to all of her content on Instagram as well other platforms like Tik-Tok. Kennedy recently posted an episode that gives a makeover to a mother of three. The makeover included celebrity hair and makeup artists as Kennedy gives them a platform to show their talent.
Wholesome Content for Fan Retention
Her other posts include small snippets of what she does to take care of herself, including a step-by-step process and featuring the items she uses to guarantee beauty for everything. They’re usually cheap too! Most importantly, both shows include the main message of self-awareness, self-love and the importance of mental health.

Kennedy has recently closed her seed round of funding ($500,000) led by celebrity dermatologist Dr. Jason Emer and Lisa Schimnowsky, CEO of the CBD beverage brand G & Juice.
Her existing audience, experience, and her understanding of the market, along with the fact that the beauty product market is actually booming despite the COVID-19 pandemic, will undoubtedly grant success to Kennedy and her team.
