glossers
Those adding shine
Glossers are people or things that gloss—that add shine, provide explanatory notes, or smooth over difficulties.
Someone who writes glosses (marginal notes explaining difficult text) is a glosser.
A cosmetic product that adds shine to lips or hair is a glosser.
Someone who glosses over problems, minimizing or concealing them, might also be called a glosser: The administration's glossers worked overtime to soften the scandal.
