Caroline Brien

Freelance beauty journalist and author Caroline has been writing about her love of the subject, from cosmetics and wellness to spas and skincare, for over 25 years. A particular passion for fragrance has won her two prestigious Jasmine Awards, which recognise excellence in writing about perfume, while she manages to indulge her wanderlust via the opportunity to interview actors in New York, supermodels at the Cannes Film Festival or cosmetic scientists in Tokyo.

Former Beauty Features Director at Marie Claire, she has contributed to magazines including Red, Elle, Grazia and Good Housekeeping, as well as the Financial Times, Telegraph, Evening Standard, Daily Mail and Sunday Times Style magazine. She also works with global trend forecasting company Beautystreams to create a library of runway coverage during the twice-yearly show seasons. Her Instagram (@carolinesbrien) is devoted to work, travel, her nephews and being an unapologetic film nerd.
