About the Team:

Byrdie

At Byrdie, our mission is simple: to celebrate individuality and empower our readers to find confidence, community, and joy through beauty and style. Our hair, our facial features, our bodies: They can reflect culture, sexuality, race, and even politics. We believe when it comes to our beauty coverage—from how beauty products are chosen for review to why we write the things we do—the more transparency, the better. That’s why we feel it’s important to share exactly how we go about doing what we do: from how we create our content to who’s behind it and more.

InStyle

Our mission is to deliver elevated, inclusive, and of-the-moment fashion and beauty service and celebrity and culture news to our audience. Through incisive celebrity profiles, sharp cultural commentary, and accessible beauty and style recommendations, InStyle lifts the curtain to give readers access to and share expert knowledge of what’s trending, what’s important now, and what they’re going to care about next.
