Beauty Accessibility, The Melanin Edit & Career Growth ft. Allure EIC Jessica Cruel

<p>Allure Editor-in-Chief Jessica Cruel is here to give us some insight into the current state of beauty editorial! First, we discuss the process behind selecting Allure’s famous <a href="https://www.allure.com/best-of-beauty-2022-winners" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Best of Beauty</em></a> awards and her launch of the <a href="https://www.allure.com/collection/the-melanin-edit" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Melanin Edit</em></a>, a vertical that authentically speaks to Black and Brown people without explanation. But that’s not all. Tune in as she digs deep to reflect on finding comfort in the accessibility of beauty at an early age, doing her best to lead with compassion as an EIC, understanding differences in working styles and boundaries for Gen-Z employees, and wanting to see sustained interest when it comes to diversity within the beauty industry.</p><ul><li><a href="https://www.target.com/p/tph-by-taraji-twist-and-set-twisting-curl-cream-with-shea-butter-38-castor-oil-for-natural-hair-styling-8oz/-/A-80143008?ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&amp;AFID=google_pla_df&amp;fndsrc=tgtao&amp;DFA=71700000012735304&amp;CPNG=PLA_Beauty%2BPersonal+Care%2BShopping_Local%7CBeauty_Ecomm_Beauty&amp;adgroup=SC_Health%2BBeauty&amp;LID=700000001170770pgs&amp;LNM=PRODUCT_GROUP&amp;network=g&amp;device=c&amp;location=9060351&amp;targetid=pla-896404422375&amp;ds_rl=1246978&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjw4omaBhDqARIsADXULuUlFDZCjnAYoL4dRWf2q_9CGhjt_RNJD-xY2mu80Qy08WDAL1Fq6SEaAiSXEALw_wcB&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TPH by Taraji Twisting Curl Cream</a>, <a href="https://www.mynuface.com/products/trinity" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">NuFACE Trinity</a>, <a href="https://www.sephora.com/product/the-essence-plumping-skin-softener-P415771?country_switch=us&amp;lang=en&amp;skuId=2468700&amp;om_mmc=ppc-GG_13747609399_122963867983_pla-420130052831_2468700_531290558063_9060351_c&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjw4omaBhDqARIsADXULuVjoLuaM2hpNLzx_2W7gXrg5TGGgCAeNdblVDzR4hTNIvN8dWn82m0aAozaEALw_wcB&amp
