Writing about beauty and fashion requires a level of talent and dedication one may not expect – you have to stay on top of trends, news, and current events like any other writing topic. In fact, the more enthusiasm and years of devotion you apply to the fashion and beauty sectors, the more your writing career in said sectors should blossom and grow.
For the fashionista auteur, writing about fashion and beauty is a dream come true – especially if he or she gets to do it from home! Websites that pay you to write about your favorite topic do exist, and we have compiled a top 5 list here:
5 Sites That Pay You to Write About Beauty and Fashion
1 – Fashionista
If you’re interested in writing about fashion or beauty, Fashionista is a great site to pitch. They accept freelance contributions from writers at all levels, as long as the story idea ties into fashion or beauty in some way.
They love everything from serious reporting to fun, personal essays, and they pay freelancers for accepted work.
Before pitching, it’s a good idea to read through Fashionista's site to understand their tone and make sure your idea hasn’t already been covered. Your email should be short and personal, clearly explaining your idea in four or five sentences, along with a few links to your writing or social media profiles.
You can reach the editorial team at [email protected] — just be sure to pitch during business hours to increase your chances of getting noticed! More details on the process of writing for them are here.
2 – Coveteur
If you dream of writing about beauty, fashion, or luxury lifestyle, pitching Coveteur could be a great opportunity. They’re always looking for new contributors who have strong story ideas, insider access, or unique personal experiences.
Before you pitch, Coveteur recommends reading several of their articles to get a feel for their style, which is casual, clever, and full of personality.
They love behind-the-scenes content—think expert beauty tips, exclusive fashion insights, or glamorous real-life experiences—and they prioritize creative, original imagery over standard stock photos or red carpet shots.
You can send your ideas directly to [email protected] or reach out to the specific editor for the section you're pitching. This page has all the details about writing for them if you'd like to learn more first.
3 – Bustle
Bustle is a popular website is frequently seeking remote writers across several different categories. Currently, they are in need of a fashion commerce writer. From the description:
As a Fashion Commerce Writer, you will research and write shopping guides and product roundups focused on fashion (which includes apparel, shoes, and accessories), as well as revise existing fashion articles for voice, accuracy, and SEO best practices. You’ll have the opportunity to work across BDG’s brands, including Bustle, The Zoe Report, Elite Daily, Romper, Mic, and Inverse.

4 – Refinery29
Another big one, Refinery29, has its writers focus on all things fashion, beauty, pop culture, and news-related.
Have an article posted by this online giant, and you’re pretty much guaranteed to go viral.
Refinery29 is a bit of a hipster paradise, with the site being one of the firsts to report the newest trends, whether it’s mermaid tights or rainbow highlighter, but that doesn’t mean it’s not impressive to have on your CV! The website is well-respected amongst its peers and viewed as a beacon of hipness.

5 – Start Your Own Beauty & Fashion Blog or Website
You can earn good money with your own website! Almost every website you visit online is earning money in some form or another. Either they are earning through ads, affiliate links, direct sponsorships, or all three (most likely all three).
Anyone can do this, although it takes a lot of patience and persistence to get it going. So if beauty and fashion is your thing, and you cannot find a writing job in this field that suits you, just start your own thing and see how it goes!
Learn more about starting a blog.
Searching for websites to write for that cater specifically to the fashion and beauty sector can be a bit challenging, since it seems like a job most people would want to do, or would assume it’s easy to do; however, a bit of digging through a good, old-fashioned Google search (or by reading posts like this one) can unearth some gems that can bring in a great form of supplemental income.
Happy writing!
Looking For Even More Legit Remote Jobs?
FlexJobs is one of my favorite sites to use for finding remote jobs and learning about new companies that hire remotely.
Most of what I see there when I check the listings pays well above minimum wage and are known companies.
The great thing about FlexJobs is that they guarantee ALL listings are scam-free. They list hundreds of jobs — all of which are either remote or flexible in nature — five days per week.
There are also no ads on the site!
Because there are no ads, they do charge a membership fee since that is the only way they can see a return on their job-searching efforts.
But it's cheap — you can get access for a few weeks for just $2.95 for 14 full days!
If you sign up and don't like it, it's very easy to cancel right away so you are not billed again. You can do it any point during your 14 days of checking things out.
Go here to check out FlexJobs.
Good luck to you!
