January 29, 2022 at 06:30AM I’ll admit, as a beauty editor who struggles with acne, I’m particular cynical and stubborn when it comes to skincare. Even with a deep understanding of ingredients and the skin’s basic functions, I have fallen for false claims and have been overpromised results more times than I

January 28, 2022 at 08:00AM Everyone deserves a beauty editor in their group chat for on-the-go questions on everything from the best concealer to where to go for a manicure that’ll last beyond the weekend. With the enviable job of testing and reviewing a seemingly endless supply of beauty products, they’re the best

January 27, 2022 at 06:30AM As a beauty editor, I don’t admit my beauty faults often. I follow a strict skincare regimen morning and night (I have never slept in my makeup), I religiously treat my hair to masks, and I wouldn’t dream of stepping out of the bath without slathering my

January 26, 2022 at 06:30AM If you’ve worked in the beauty industry long enough, you’re bound to pick up beauty tips and tricks. As beauty editors, we regularly talk to nearly everyone in the industry, from nail pros to dermatologists. Along the way, we’ve each picked up hacks that we’ve taken

January 26, 2022 at 06:30AM We’re not sure about you, but in recent years, it feels as though shopping for beauty products has become more difficult than ever before. Not because of the fact we don’t find ourselves shopping IRL much, and not because of the rather daunting amount to

January 25, 2022 at 06:30AM I’ll admit, we beauty journalists are a tough crowd to please on Instagram. The Insta beauty community is flooded with millions of product reviews, conflicting recommendations and more questionable skincare advice than you can shake a stick at. As a result, it’s fair to say that most

January 22, 2022 at 06:30AM As beauty editors, we know that you have a hard time taking our recommendations seriously. Not because you don’t want to believe us but because of everything you have likely learned of beauty journalism. When I posted a Q&A on Instagram a few months ago,

January 20, 2022 at 06:00AM Is there anything more satisfying than finding your nude lipstick? As a Black woman, this journey has not been smooth sailing, there has been ashiness and some rather horrible mishaps that should never be made public. Alas, I have made it and the quest to

January 16, 2022 at 06:30AM I should probably start by clarifying: Even pre-COVID, 50% of my job entailed unboxing, testing, reviewing, and re-testing beauty products. This is not a luxury I take lightly, and while it might seem like a mundane task, my fellow beauty editors and I take a lot

January 09, 2022 at 06:30AM As a beauty editor whose job it is to test out a lot of beauty products, it’s fair to say that I have gone through a somewhat shameful amount of skincare in my time. As I am sure you can imagine, getting sent all the latest

December 27, 2021 at 06:00AM My love for all things beauty started pretty late on in my adolescence. I‘d say up until I was about 19 all I really cared about was my next Topshop fix and I just about cared enough about makeup to smear on some Maybelline foundation and

December 24, 2021 at 06:30AM This year, beauty came back. After over a year (on and off) of not being able to visit our favourite salons, spas and clinics for our usual beauty pick-me-ups, their return was welcomed with open arms. Because sure, while learning how to do our nails, hair

December 23, 2021 at 06:00AM Getting to grips with exactly what sort of beauty practices are right and what are wrong can feel quite overwhelming. One minute, double cleansing is all the rage, and the next, everyone’s preaching that it’s wasteful and unnecessary. It makes total sense, therefore, that when

December 22, 2021 at 06:00AM There are certain beauty rules that experts and editors just love to enforce. Whether it’s not using heat protection before you straighten your hair or occasionally drifting off without removing your makeup, everyone is guilty of committing a beauty sin from time to time, right? However, it can

December 21, 2021 at 06:30AM If you’d have asked women 100 years ago what they anticipated beauty trends would look like in 2022, they’d probably have predicted something along the lines of the other-worldy aesthetic of Y2K beauty. Things like glitter, tinsel and shimmer might have graced our faces and hair

December 21, 2021 at 06:30AM Casting our minds back to the start of the year, it seems almost impossible to believe that we spent the first few months of 2021 in strict lockdowns. We were living exclusively in ultrasoft loungewear, had at-home coffee making off to a fine art and, of course, were

December 20, 2021 at 06:30AM It’s true that the re-emergence of era-defining trends in the worlds of both fashion and beauty is nothing new—this year alone we’ve seen the rise of charmingly retro ‘70s-inspired nail art, ‘80s-esque colour block eyeshadow and ‘90s hair accessories to name a few. But there’s something about
