Lucy Abbersteen
Lucy is a freelance beauty editor and contributor at Marie Claire, and has written for titles including Glamour, Refinery29, Popsugar, woman&home and more. She was previously Marie Claire’s junior beauty editor. During her career, she’s done everything from grilling the industry’s leading dermatologists and hairdressers to covering backstage beauty at fashion week, and interviewing famous faces like Drag Race royalty and Little Mix.
As for her beauty ethos, she’s a big advocate for not having to spend a fortune on beauty products to get good results – though she’d struggle to pick just one area of beauty that she’s passionate about. When she’s not got beauty on the brain, you’re most likely to find her reading, spending time with dogs, or watching Grey’s Anatomy for the 43rd time.
