Beauty Features

At The New York Post, I’ve produced hands-on, first-person lifestyle coverage — from testing AI stylists against in-house personal stylists in our studio to undergoing dramatic beauty transformations using special effects makeup. I’ve also covered and reviewed major fashion launches, and continue to pitch creative, experience-driven stories rooted in my expertise in fashion and beauty.

At SheFinds Media, I wrote weekly beauty and lifestyle articles, conducted exclusive interviews with celebrity stylists and experts in skincare, makeup, and health, and researched beauty trends on TikTok and other social media platforms. Additionally, I personally tested products and shared my experiences in detailed, longer-form pieces.

Exclusive | Cash-strapped New Yorkers are bartering everything from haircuts to food to save money: could you do it too?

See more of our coverage in your search results. In 2026, money talks — but increasingly, so does a blowout, a brow tint, or a fresh set of lashes.


Across social media feeds and salon chairs nationwide, a very ancient idea is making a very 2026 comeback: bartering. 


Only this time, it’s not barley for labor or tools in Mesopotamia — it’s eyelash extensions for manicures, tattoos for eyebrow shaping, and matcha for a quick trim.


Bartering — the direct exchange of goods or services with...

I tried the $2.2K Met Gala facial loved by Sabrina Carpenter, Kendall Jenner — and here’s the truth about it

It’s the Friday before the Met Gala and I’m wedged on a J train at 7 a.m., completely bare faced, under-eye circles on show, en route to the Upper East Side for a date with the hottest celebrity facialist in town. 


His name? Iván Pol — a skincare god with over a million instagram followers and a client roster that reads like an Oscars seating chart: Emma Stone, Ana de Armas, Sabrina Carpenter, Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid, to name a few.


He’s moved into The Mark Hotel on East 77th Street...

Exclusive | I needed a wardrobe makeover — could an AI ‘stylist’ save me?

It’s one of the most annoying dilemmas women face — wanting to look stylish at work, on weekends and on nights out, but getting stuck in a rut.

At the same time, finding the budget for standout pieces — or the hours to hunt online for clothes that actually flatter your shape — can feel impossible.

Personally, beyond the trial-and-error misery of online shopping, I’m burned out from slogging through fast-fashion stores and “basics” sections — a far cry from the joy I find in thrifting.

Exclusive | NYC’s secret beauty spots revealed — where women pay $25 for a Park Avenue-style glow-up worth hundreds

It’s glow time in Chinatown. Under a slant of sunlight, Viveca Chow reclines, her hair bundled in a cotton towel, as esthetician Diana Wu works a smooth, curved tool over her pronounced cheekbones.

This isn’t some cucumber-water-and-pan-flute facial. There are no plush robes or heated beds here at Diana Beauty Spa, tucked between noodle shops on crowded Mott Street — just the rhythmic pressure of Wu’s capable hands and the scent of herbal oil i...

Exclusive | Post reporter transforms into a cast member of the city’s spookiest lair for a night of fright

Behold, New York City’s newest “scream queen.”


It takes a lot to truly rattle me. I live for the eerie and the strange — the haunted houses, the folk horror flicks, the spooky vintage thrift store knickknacks.


So when I recently got an offer to go full freak show and freak out New Yorkers at NYC’s boo-tacular Blood Manor — the hugely popular, 10,000-square-foot labyrinth with 22 themed rooms of gore, guts and high-voltage trauma — I was all in.


And, really, who wouldn’t be?

Exclusive | Nike x SKIMS launch fizzles in NYC: Kim K collab doesn’t draw big crowds — or big raves

What a SKIM-py turnout.


The much-hyped NikeSKIMS collab dropped in New York City Friday morning — but for all the buzz about Kim Kardashian’s takeover of both the gym and the runway, Manhattan didn’t break a sweat.


But Post reporter Marissa Matozzo sure did, braving a barrage of squeezing, tugging, hopping and holding her breath to (sometimes) fit into eight pieces that promised effortless workouts — if not effortless dressing.


When The Post hit Nike’s Fifth Avenue flagship at 8 a.m., j...
