To glamorize something is to make it seem more attractive than it really is. You put a spotlight on the fun, the clothes, the danger-as-adventure, and you leave out the mess. Magazines glamorize thinness; some shows glamorize crime; a tourist poster can glamorize a crowded city. The speaker is usually complaining, at least a little. You can also glamorize a person in a milder way — style them so they look like a star — but the common school meaning is the “prettier than the truth” one. American spelling is glamorize; British is often glamorise. It is a verb of opinion more than of makeup.
