Photography Submissions

At Beauty Etc., we invite makeup artists and beauty photographers to submit their latest work for possible publication. We are looking for editorials that celebrate makeup, from clean and classic to extreme and avant garde. We encourage submissions to take into consideration current trends, as well as our readership: makeup artists and consumers who live for makeup.

While we invite you to submit your work, we do ask that you adhere to the following guidelines in order for your work to be considered.

  • 1. Editorial must be 6 to 10 pages, but no longer.
  • 2. Upon first contact, you will be asked to submit spreads as low-resolution at 72 dpi in either JPEG or PDF formats.
  • 3. Please label all files with your FIRST and LAST NAME as well as the date you are submitting. EXAMPLE: JohnDoe_061010.jpeg.
  • 4. All beauty editorials must contain multiple beauty brands. (NOTE: Please steer away from drugstore brands.)
  • 5. Complete team credits are required: photographer, makeup artist, hair stylist, wardrobe stylist, models and all of their agencies. (If not agency-represented, please note website.)
  • 6. COMPLETE beauty credit is required in the following format or will not be accepted:
