We started Byrdie back in 2013 because, like you, we’re pretty obsessed with beauty and style, whether it's testing a new serum for hyperpigmentation, tracking down the best size-inclusive workleisure, or dissecting the real history of cornrows. Our team of award-winning writers and editors have worked for the biggest publishing houses and beauty companies in the business, including Hearst, Condé Nast, Meredith, and L’Oréal, and are committed to creating an inclusive space that lifts up diverse voices and celebrates the unique beauty found in each of us. Over the years, we’ve become one of the largest beauty sites on the internet, reaching over nine million readers a month, according to ComScore, with our library of more than 10,000 pieces of content—and it’s not all lipstick testing and brow grooming. 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, 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. So click around. Stay awhile. We hope to make you feel inspired, joyful, comfortable, and confident.
