Hello, my name Holly Downes and I'm a London-based Fashion and Beauty Writer currently working across Heat, Closer, Bella, Take a Break, and that’s life! magazines. My work spans fashion, beauty, and lifestyle, creating engaging content for both print and digital platforms.

Before moving into lifestyle journalism, I spent two years in financial journalism. I hold a BA in English Literature and Philosophy from Durham University, and I’m NCTJ-qualified with a Gold Standard Diploma in Magazine Journalism.
