Listen to this story being read by Erin Docherty, here.
My job as a beauty editor grants me many wonderful things: a never-ending supply of products, fancy events, exciting interviews, lots of cardboard boxes, etc.
It also means I get to annoy some of the top experts in the beauty industry - from dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons to makeup artists and hairstylists.
I ask them questions about the best way to do things, what ingredients I should and shouldn't use, the brands that are actually worth using, how to not f**k up my skin - and there are a lot of beauty 'rules' out there. Goodness. And it can be bloody scary!
Watch: You know what else my job involves? Putting lube on my face. Here's what happened when I tried the lube primer hack that's all over TikTok. Post continues below.
So, as a writer and a co-host of the sparkly You Beauty podcast, I inject lots of these expert thoughts and opinions into my work in the hope it can help other people navigate this very noisy and confusing place that is the beauty industry.
