From beauty editors to publicists, hundreds of industry professionals told us what they make:
. This year, for the first time, we're also delving into the beauty industry, with a special focus on the people who help bring beauty to the masses through journalism, content creation, PR, marketing and more. The results bring transparency to what people in popular fields are making these days, on average.
More than 250 beauty professionals filled out our anonymous survey — a small but influential group with experience ranging from one to more than 20 years at companies including Esteé Lauder, Coty, Condé Nast, Bustle Digital Group, Edelman and many more. First a bit about them: Ninety-two percent are women. Over 50% reside in New York, with the majority of the rest split between California and outside the United States. Most have between 3-10 years of experience. About 60% identify as white, 9% as Spanish-origin, 12% as Asian, 9% as Black or African-American.
As far as how these demographics impacted salary, while men were not very well represented among our respondents, their average salary was still higher: $138,400 vs. $107,770 for women. White respondents had the highest mean salary of $114,830, followed by Asian at $103,820, then Black or African-American at $86,050.. Based on responses, most people either didn't have their salaries impacted negatively at all, or only dealt with a temporary reduction.
Below, you'll find the mean salaries for each job we surveyed and received a significant number of responses for. We also included mean salaries by years of experience for each field, to give a sense of how that impacts compensation as well.
