Lollie King

Lollie King is the Senior Beauty Writer at Marie Claire UK. Lollie has over eight years of experience in journalism and has a special interest in beauty and cultural stories.

The women in Lollie’s family passed down secrets to her as a child, enabling her to experiment with colour from an early age. But after seeing very few women of colour at the forefront of the industry Lollie knew this was a space she wanted to make a name for herself in.

She has since written for a number of high well regarded newspapers and magazines including The Times, Stylist, Independent and Evening Standard.
