Lottie Winter

Lottie Winter is the Beauty Director at Top Quality Designers Shopping UK. With over a decade of beauty journalism under her belt, she brings a curious mind, an unshakeable love of skincare and makeup, and a science-first approach to everything she covers—from barrier-boosting serums to backstage beauty moments.

At the heart of her work is a desire to cut through the noise and get to what really matters–– products that deliver, conversations that empower, and beauty that makes people feel like their best selves. Whether she’s spotlighting ingredient innovations, challenging outdated narratives, or collaborating with brands on meaningful storytelling, she approaches every project with both integrity and impact in mind. She also brings a sharp eye for what resonates on social, and a strong commercial sensibility that bridges the gap between editorial depth and real-world relevance.

Born in London and raised in Cambridge, Lottie studied Philosophy at King’s College London—a background that fuels her constant questioning of not just what works, but why. She began her career at British Vogue, before joining Glamour UK, where she became known for her deep-dives into skincare science, no-nonsense product guides, and powerful first-person writing around health and mental health.

When she’s not decoding ingredient lists or trialling the latest tweakments, you’ll find her walking her two dogs, deep in a medical podcast, or on an eternal quest to find the perfect concealer. A long-time fragrance obsessive, she’s fascinated by the interplay between synthetics and naturals––and lives for the clean, mineral sensuality of ambroxan-based scents.
