Bustle is Looking For Beauty Writer

Day-to-day responsibilities include pitching and writing news stories as well as original reported beauty stories (both short turnaround and longer lead), a mix of evergreen, service stories, and trend pieces about topics in skin care, makeup, hair, nails,and body care. A passion for beauty and an innate ability to trendspot in the fields are crucial. Examples of the kinds of articles you’d work on include this interview with Doja Cat about her beauty routine; this fall makeup trend roundup; and this service piece on how to grow out your eyebrows.

The majority of stories will require the writer to find sources, conduct phone interviews, and cite peer-reviewed studies. A network of industry contacts and go-to experts (think makeup artists, estheticians, and hairstylists) is a plus.

Candidates must have availability to work 3 days per week during business hours, ET. The writer will work remotely and communicate with the Senior Beauty Editor throughout their shift.

Responsibilities

• Write 6-8 500-word stories per week comprising a mix of pitches and assignments
