Nessa Humayun is the Beauty Editor at Marie Claire UK. With over eight years of editorial experience across lifestyle sectors, Nessa was previously the Editorial Lead of HUNGER Magazine’s print and digital arms, where she was known for profiling the likes of Lily Allen, Loyle Carner, Kano, Billie Piper, Daisy Edgar Jones, Travis Barker, and more.
Obsessed with beauty since she was tall enough to raid her mum’s vanity, Nessa will be covering everything from product must-haves to long-reads about the industry writ large. Passionate about the intersection between women’s health and the beauty industry, Nessa is committed to unpacking what’s really worth it, and what’s driving us to spend our hard-earned money. Aside from that, she prides herself on being a human guinea pig, forever searching for the perfect 90’s lipliner and enduring the pain of prophilo in her quest for skin so glowy, it’s basically reflective.
After graduating from Kings College London with a BA in English Literature and Language, Nessa started her career in fashion at Net-a-Porter, before delving into the world of print media and contributing to the likes of British Vogue, Dazed and Cosmopolitan.
