Annie Milroy is the Beauty Writer for Woman & Home and other publications.
After being inspired to work in magazines after bingeing Ugly Betty at the age of 12, Annie knew a life working at an esteemed publishing house was her dream job. She spent three years studying Journalism and English Language at the University of Portsmouth, balancing (many) nights out and hungover 9am lectures.
After eight years working in the fashion & beauty industry, she's left the fashion world behind and now writes about everything from lightweight foundations, her favourite perfumes, to natural-looking fake tans. Falling in love with any product that can give her that 'my skin but better' finish, and anything that hydrates her seemingly always parched face.
During her career, she interviewed the likes of Jo Malone, Ruby Hammer, Hannah Martin and Caroline Barnes. Plus, career highlight and forever girl-crush, Claudia Winkleman. Getting to speak to the industry’s finest experts in skincare, makeup, hair, body and health each week.
When she’s not working, she’s shamelessly watching back-to-back Real Housewives episodes, spending all her time with her beloved yellow Lab, Freya, and hunting down the best carb spots London has to offer.
