Hi! I’m Sara Tan, a journalist, host, beauty expert, & brand consultant.

A woman with long dark hair and tattoos is applying makeup while holding a pink lipstick and looking at herself in a mirror with lips illustrations. Several hands are assisting her with makeup brushes, and she is wearing a bright green coat.

Sara Tan is a beauty journalist, editor, host, and brand consultant with over 15 years of experience in beauty and lifestyle media.

Based in Los Angeles, she is the co-host of the award-winning Gloss Angeles podcast and former Global Beauty Director at Refinery29, where she interviewed everyone from celebrity beauty founders to renowned dermatologists, makeup artists, and cultural changemakers. Her warm, down-to-earth personality and sharp editorial sensibility have made her a trusted voice among beauty enthusiasts and industry insiders alike.

Sara blends creativity with strategy to help brands tell meaningful stories, build trust, and authentically connect with their audience. Her work is deeply rooted in inclusivity — spotlighting underrepresented voices and pushing the beauty industry forward — as seen through her role as Chief Content Officer at Asian American Girl Club and her service on the board of Teach AAPI.

If you’re looking for a beauty expert who knows how to connect with audiences and bring stories to life — on camera, online, or IRL — Sara delivers.
