Welcome to The Beauty Gypsy. I am Anubha Charan, a seasoned beauty specialist with over a decade of experience in the industry.
I was formally a Beauty Director with Marie Claire. I worked with the French headquarters as part of the international team overseeing beauty content across global editions.
I have spent the last decade writing about luxury beauty, fashion, and lifestyle for international outlets, including Marie Claire, Vogue, Cosmopolitan, WebMD, Travel + Leisure, Casaviva, and Architectural Digest.
I also co-authored a book on French beauty for Simon & Schuster.
I created this space for beauty enthusiasts who love relaxed glamor with an edge of the unexpected — think Hailey Bieber meets Serena van der Woodsen — and are looking for a lipstick that will give them the confidence to sail past that shitty ex on their way to having the time of their lives!
My Journey: From Sunspots to Spotlight
Like many, I wasn’t graced with a supermodel’s perfect skin. My journey through persistent acne scars, sun damage, and a daunting battle with tongue cancer has led me through a path of discovery in managing hyperpigmentation and embracing self-care.
Thankfully, I have had the privilege of picking the brains of the best dermatologists, hair experts, and makeup artists. And now, I’m here to share the beauty knowledge acquired along the way.
Discover, Learn, and Celebrate Beauty with Me
Here at The Beauty Gypsy, we believe that beauty should be accessible, enjoyable, and liberating. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all beauty standards and celebrate individuality in every form.
Whether you’re looking for quick beauty hacks, advice on choosing the right sunscreen, or tips on reducing pimples without scarring, The Beauty Gypsy has you covered.
We’re committed to providing practical and trustworthy content that simplifies your beauty routines and enhances your self-confidence.
After all, unlike fashion, nail polishes don’t discriminate based on your dress size. And a fragrance can help you don a whole new personality with just one spritz.

I enjoyed reading this. While you have suffered some defeats, your life is still glamorous and quite out of reach for most people.
I love makeup. Always have. Love looking at it, smelling it, if the occasion arises, maybe taste it.
I would love to know how to feel glamorous going through menopause at 50. I don’t know my face or body anymore. I truly don’t even want people to see me. Growing up in Los Angeles will do that to a gal.
Keep up the beautiful writing. ❤️

Hi Anubha! I have been subscribed to your blog for several years now. Yours is one of the few subscriptions I have kept. I love your transparency about products that are actually useful.
I appreciate the reviews on the mid price range products, but also the glamorous high end ones.
I am just about to hit 40, and am willing to splurge on products that will help me in ease into that phase of my life, hopefully looking younger than 40 lol. Your insights and well written posts keep me reading everytime.
I wish you good health now, and in the future. Thank you for all you put into this blog. I look forward to the continued updates.
Stay well!
