Behind the Scenes: A Day in the Life of a Beauty Editor 💄💅🏼📝
Hey there, beauties! Today, I want to take you behind the scenes of what it’s like to be a beauty editor. I’ll be giving you an insider look into my everyday tasks, the beauty products I can’t live without, and some tips on how to become a beauty editor yourself 💁🏼♀️ So sit back, grab your favorite skincare product, and let’s dive in!
Morning Beauty Routine ☀️
As a beauty editor, it’s important to practice what you preach – which means my morning skincare routine is extensive! I start by washing my face with a gentle cleanser and then follow it up with a toner to balance my skin’s pH levels. My favorite toner is the Thayers Witch Hazel Toner – it’s affordable and works wonders! Then, I apply my serums and moisturizer, making sure to target any specific skin concerns I have that day.
Product Reviewing 🧐
Once I’m in the office, I spend a good chunk of my day reviewing beauty products. This means testing out different formulas, textures, and colors to see what does and doesn’t work. Whether it’s a new foundation launch or a trendy new product, my job is to provide our readers with honest and informative reviews. And let me tell you, having a job that requires you to test out new makeup is not a bad gig! 😉
Writing Articles ✍🏼
After testing out different products, I spend a significant amount of time putting all my thoughts into article form. This means researching the products, writing a detailed review, and then going through edits to make sure it’s perfect. But it’s not just reviews that I work on – I also write trend reports, interviews with makeup artists, and educational pieces about skincare.
Attending Events 🎉
Part of my job is attending different beauty events, which can range from product launches to award shows. It’s always a fun time getting to see new products before they hit the shelves, and there’s always plenty of networking opportunities with other beauty industry professionals. Attending these events also allows me to have a better understanding of the beauty industry as a whole and keep my finger on the pulse of emerging trends.
Photo Shoots 📸
I also work with photographers and models to create stunning visuals for our website and social media channels. This can be anything from shooting a makeup tutorial to taking product flat lays. I love being able to flex my creative muscles in this aspect of my job, and the photoshoots always turn out amazing. Plus, I get to meet some pretty cool people in the process!
