Arabelle Sicardi & Mary Wang

My name is Arabelle. Im Taiwanese American. Im a genderqueer writer specializing in beauty and how it is shaped by politics and technology. I've been writing about beauty, fashion, and feminism professionally since I was 15. As a teen I was a fashion blogger, as a fresh college graduate I was the youngest Beauty Editor ever appointed by a media juggernaut, and now I'm a full-time beauty writer and general weirdo. I write about beauty, but I also love to collaborate with artists, programmers, feminist activists, and selected beauty brands.
