The Dutch beauty media landscape in 2026

Beauty journalism in the Netherlands leans on the glossy titles: ELLE, Vogue NL, Harper's Bazaar, Marie Claire and Beau Monde have dedicated beauty desks covering trends, launches and care. LINDA., Glamour and Cosmopolitan bring beauty in a more accessible register, while &C and NSMBL serve a younger online audience.

Alongside them sits a specialist layer of beauty platforms and trade media for the professional market, and the health desks of newspapers and magazines increasingly join in on subjects like skin health, ingredients and cosmetic procedures. Beauty influencers and editorial desks also increasingly share the same press lists and events, so a good pitch pays off twice.

Which topics Dutch beauty journalists pick up

The most covered themes in 2026 are science-based skincare and ingredient literacy, sustainable and refillable packaging, the rise of affordable dupes, skin health and SPF, and the crossover between beauty and wellness. Launches get covered when they fit a trend or seasonal story, and desks test products themselves before writing about them. Medical or exaggerated claims without substantiation are the fastest route to the bin.

How to approach beauty journalists in the Netherlands effectively

Three rules work consistently.

Send test products: Beauty desks only write after testing. Offer samples proactively and give the desk time to actually use the product.
Substantiate your claims: Ingredients, mechanism and research: deliver the facts the desk can build on. Exaggerated claims cost you credibility.
Think in seasons: Glossy monthlies work months ahead. Pitch summer beauty in spring and the holiday looks well before autumn.

Well-known beauty journalists work at ELLE, Vogue NL, Harper's Bazaar, Marie Claire, Beau Monde and LINDA. Presscloud tracks 190+ active beauty journalists in total. A complete list of names and contact details is available for accounts.

The most effective approach combines three elements: a personal opener that references the journalist's recent work, a story that fits a trend or season, and test products with strong imagery. Pitch by email, not via LinkedIn or phone, unless you already have an existing relationship.

Desks almost only write about products they have tested themselves. Offer to send samples in your pitch and deliver them quickly after agreement, with full product information and the ingredient list. Sending large unsolicited packages tends to backfire.

Skincare is covered by the beauty desks of ELLE, Vogue NL, Marie Claire and LINDA., and increasingly by the health desks of newspapers and magazines when it concerns skin health, ingredients or SPF. Science-based stories featuring a dermatologist or expert do well.

For glossy monthlies you work three to four months ahead, especially for seasonal launches and the holidays. Online media work closer to the news; there, one to two weeks is common. Align your timing with the calendar of gift guides and seasonal specials.

The worlds overlap strongly: many beauty events and press lists serve editors and creators at the same time, and desks watch what happens on social media. A consistent approach towards both groups, with the same facts and imagery, strengthens your story on both sides.
