About Glamour

Who We Are

For nearly 85 years Glamour has been leading the conversation about the topics women are invested in, which are more diverse, complex, and exciting than ever. We pride ourselves on offering inclusive and accessible access into the intersecting worlds of fashion, beauty, wellness, pop culture, parenting, and politics. In a world where every media brand is competing for clicks, time, comments, and likes, it’s a nonnegotiable to be able to cut through the noise and deliver content that’s not only unique but authentic.

We’re creating a level playing field where all are welcome and invited to have a seat at the table, but we’re known to speak with authority on topics we’re well-versed in or have strong opinions about. That means working tirelessly to pass paid leave in the US (an issue we’ve been at the forefront of), speaking honestly and openly about so-called taboo topics including plastic surgery, IVF and surrogacy, and traditional beauty standards. It also means offering service and trusted recommendations to our readers in the form of what to buy, what to wear, what to watch, how to advocate for yourself, how to parent without judgment, and more.

Whether we’re covering politics or pillowcases, reality TV or reproductive rights, or spotlighting the leaders and luminaries who inspire us during our annual Women of the Year celebration, Glamour remains an approachable space for women of substance with something to say.

Product Reviews and Testing

When our editors, readers, and trusted network of contributors test anything—from makeup, to SPF for babies or hyaluronic acid serum—it’s in real life settings. All the diaper bags we recommend are put through their paces on the playground, the running shorts have survived marathons, and the full coverage foundations were applied by us to give you an honest depiction of how the products will fit into your life.

Of course, it's not possible to test everything we feature ourselves, so if we haven’t gotten our hands on the product, we refer to verified customer reviews, consult with experts, and rely on our existing knowledge of the brands we’re covering.

For the past 20 years, Glamour has published its annual Beauty and Wellness Awards in which we’ve featured thousands of products that have made an indelible mark on our—and your—routines, from innovative drugstore finds to luxury makeup. We also call on you to help shape our Reader’s Choice portion of the awards, in which our loyal readers get the chance to vote on the products they believe are the best of the best. While our editors are all passionate about what we like, we also often tap into a network of professionals—including board-certified physicians—to help us fact check brand claims and break down the efficacy of various ingredients and formulas.

Here’s more on how we test makeup, haircare and skincare:

Makeup

In the case of makeup, we quite simply wear it–for at least 12 hours to a full week–taking into account different scenarios and environments. We make sure that whoever is sampling the product is trying one that’s meant for their specific skin type (there’s no point in a 20-year-old reviewing concealer designed for mature skin). We then provide different lists of criteria for our reviewers to comment on based on the product’s claims. We also ask fellow Glamour editors, and our broader network if they have any favorite products to share, or to test out makeup that’s starting to gain attention on social media. The end result is always the most honest review possible.

Haircare

For our haircare reviews, like the best dry shampoo, we consider each products' performance on various types, textures, colors, and curl patterns–as well as their packaging, value, innovation, and scent. We ask our reviewers to try the product for at least a week. When testing tools, like curling irons, we also ask our volunteers to try them at least three times, assessing things like ease of use and whether they deliver on their promise. We also call on our network to share testimonies of the products they already own and love.

Skincare

Skincare products and at-home dermatological tools come with lofty claims and, often, prices to match. When our editors and reviewers test new creams, serums, oils, masks, and other so-called skin saviors, we hold these claims accountable. We ask that anyone who is trying something on behalf of Glamour tests it for as long as our experts say it’ll take to see results, whether it’s weeks or months. We’re not here to oversell. We also ask that they focus on reviewing one type of product that zeroes in on a specific skin concern at a time, so they can more accurately review the results. For instance they’ll only try one dark spot corrector or LED face mask for the recommended time so they can speak to the efficacy.

Whether we’re writing about dresses, mid-rise jeans, (actually) comfortable walking sandals or designer bags, you can rely on our suggestions because we’re unapologetically honest about what’s worth your money. We aim to wear the majority of what we recommend, and you’ll often see us doing so on our site (yes, that’s our commerce writer doing shapewear sit tests). If we can’t test and wash every item we want to feature, you can bet they’ll be from brands that already have earned our trust, even the ones on Amazon. We make it our mission to get out and view as many new collections as we possibly can–we attend press viewings and Fashion Weeks, meet designers, and visit studios to get a fully-formed understanding of any given brand.

How We Vet Performance-Wear

We ask that testers try performance garments at least three times and launder them. Reviewers consider comfort, size range, washability, value, sweat-wicking capabilities, and performance. Did they constantly have to hike up their leggings? Was the built-in bra tank difficult to get on? Did the sneaker laces stay tied throughout the entire run? You get the picture.

How We Vet Lingerie

We also specialize in basics, regularly testing lingerie and undergarments, whether that's a sticky bra or no-show socks. Everything in this category has been worn for at least a full day by us or by people we trust. We consider each piece across six pillars: price, size range, quality, comfort level across all body shapes, design and washability.

We look directly to the pros: the parents on our team. We also call on other mothers and fathers in our network to share their opinions on products–from toddler toys to baby sunscreen–that their children love (or at least tolerate), and they often volunteer their own littles to trial products. In addition, we consult experts in the field of education, and medical professionals to ensure that anything we’re suggesting touches your child’s skin, or that they play with, is 100 percent safe.

Glamour editors and a tightly-curated group of freelance sexual wellness writers and certified sex and relationship therapists have been testing new releases in the sex toys space for the past decade. One of our writers has tried over 600 vibrators (and yes, she has the receipts).

Our diverse bank of reviewers trial the toys on different body parts during solo play and with partner(s) looking at them from every angle. They consider:

• Material: All of the toys we recommend have a body-safe silicone or ABS plastic, which won’t trap bacteria or moisture inside.
• Battery life or USB charger: They should last for at least 2 hours on one charge, or battery.
• Cost: You can get a great budget-friendly sex toy for $17 or splurge on a diamond-encrusted luxury sex toy, but our reviewers know that more money doesn’t mean better, so we assess the value.
• Warranty
• Ease of use
• How discreet the packaging is
• Noise-level
• Number and power of settings and vibrations

All products are independently selected by our editors. If you buy something, we may earn an affiliate commission.

It should go without saying that we have an unwavering commitment to championing inclusivity and diversity through all our content. In terms of commerce specifically, our experts and reviewers represent a wide range of ages, backgrounds, and identities and we aim to ensure that all the products we feature are available in not only a multitude of skin tones and sizes, but also prices. We love a drugstore find as much as a luxury item. In addition, you'll find us championing small and independent retailers alongside global brands, and we’re especially proud to spotlight women-owned brands.

Glamour is about to turn 85 (!) and it’s been our mission from day one to provide real value to our readers. We started sharing promo codes with you in 2022 as a natural extension of all of the sales coverage we do. As commerce editors who quite literally shop for a living, we know how frustrating it can be to come across a coupon that’s expired, doesn’t work, or can’t be applied to that one item you’re most excited to buy. That’s why we vet everything ourselves, working with over 700 brands to only provide you with the discount codes that’ll actually save you money.

At Glamour we value transparency, and that’s why we think it’s important to disclose how we benefit when you use one of these coupons–beyond the sheer joy of helping you save, of course. When our codes are used, we may earn affiliate revenue, but that doesn’t impact our neutrality when selecting, reviewing, or recommending products. At the end of the day, we’re all journalists here.

Whether it’s an exclusive offer we’ve secured from our favorite retailers (our commerce director is currently filling her cart with Boden), or a short-term discount to help you snag the best Mother’s Day gift, all the codes you’ll find on our pages have been hand-chosen by our team because we believe you’ll benefit from them.

We take pride in having our fingers to the pulse on all the latest style trends (mesh ballet flats, anyone?) so while our writers are perusing countless stores (IRL and online), meeting designers, and attending fashion weeks, they’re also hunting down the best discounts to make all their fab finds more accessible. Sometimes we team up with brands to get you special access to vouchers. We also sign up for our beloved retailers’ newsletters, subscribe to every text notification, you name it, to keep you all in the know. Plus, we work closely with experts at Webgears who search high and low to send us the best new deals they find as soon as they’re available. Their dedicated teams work around the clock to help us identify the latest on the web.

By the time they reach our site, each code has been tested multiple times and will continue to be routinely tested while they’re live to spare you any headaches. We make sure all the terms and conditions are up to date, and double (and triple) check the discount value, minimum order, product restrictions, errors, and of course, the expiration date (though even then we re-test it because–fun fact–sometimes codes will still be applicable). If at any point a code is invalid, we’ll remove it from our pages. Yes, it’s a lot of work but it’s worth it to make sure that everything we’re recommending is legit.

We do! Our team of commerce writers and editors are all journalists at our core, which means we’re invested in bringing you authentic reviews across all of our content–whether we’re vetting luxury LED face masks or the discount codes to help make them more affordable. When you buy something, we make sure you’re getting the savings you expect, which is why we manually verify everything.
