I often get asked what my one tip to aspiring beauty editors is. My answer, in short? Be prepared to work. If you think that you’re going to attend glamorous beauty launches straight off the bat, think again. Much of a beauty assistant or editor’s job involves writing briefs, chasing products and prices, organising the beauty cupboard, filing press releases and slogging it at shoots. If you sign up for a beauty internship, expect this and DON’T complain. Be organised, efficient, helpful and polite at all times. (And leave Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest for after hours!)
