Letter From The Editor
At Byrdie, we know that there's more to beauty than what meets the eye. Don't get me wrong, we love swiping on a sparkly eyeshadow as much (read: more) as the next person, but we're equally excited to tell the stories behind our beauty regimens. Beauty is a shared experience that connects us all, which is why we teamed up with Ulta Beauty to create Beauty With Purpose.
Throughout this special capsule, we explore the many ways that beauty creates community. You'll find interviews with inspiring founders, cultural explorations from our editors and contributors, and real-life narratives from the driving forces of the beauty industry.
We all want to feel like a part of something bigger, and beauty is one of those threads that can connect us. We hope these stories inspire you and provide a sense of community. We can't wait for you to dive in.
