Anna Lao-Kaim
Acting Multiplatform Beauty Director
Anna is the Acting Multiplatform Beauty Director at Harper’s Bazaar, overseeing the beauty and wellbeing content on the UK website and YouTube channel alongside Fleur Fruzza while Bridget March is on maternity leave.
She first stepped foot in a beauty cupboard over a decade ago and loves nothing more than a deep dive into the minutiae of what makes skincare really work (or occasionally, not). She’ll be continuing Bridget’s investigative legacy for the #SkinSchool franchise as well as documenting the world’s most iconic beauty products for the History of a Hero series, all while keeping a watchful eye on emerging beauty trends.
Anna has written for various titles and brands including The Sunday Times Style, Refinery 29 and Harrods, and was formerly Beauty Editor at Good Housekeeping and Red. She lives with her husband and toddler son in Buckinghamshire.
