Bustle is seeking a remote, part-time writer to cover beauty. Day-to-day responsibilities include pitching and writing news stories as well as original reported beauty stories (both short turnaround and longer lead), a mix of evergreen, service stories, and trend pieces about topics in skincare, makeup, hair, nails, and body care.

Examples of the kinds of articles you’d work on include this interview with Doja Cat about her beauty routine; this fall makeup trend roundup; and this service piece on how to grow out your eyebrows.

Candidates must have availability to work 3 days per week during business hours, ET. The writer will work remotely and communicate with the Senior Beauty Editor throughout their shift.
