Topical, inclusive and stylish, Grazia’s mission is to keep our discerning, influential female audience in the know – on whatever platform they choose to engage with us.
That means taking our audience up-close and behind the scenes of the fashion world, whilst also taking the hard work out of shopping– curating an edit of the best items to buy now. Whether it’s the dress every influencer is wearing on Instagram or the new high street designer collaboration to shop now, you’ll know about it as soon as we do.
Our informative, practical approach to beauty and wellness means that we give honest reviews of the products you want to know about – while also answering the health questions that are relevant to you.
We know home is crucial to our audience, which is why we’ve also launched Grazia Casa– an annual interiors magazine, offering advice and inspiration to make your space as stylish as you, while online, our interiors section is packed with decorating advice, interiors trends and inspiration.
Wellbeing – from mental health to fertility – is important to you, so it’s important to us, too. Here you’ll find practical, thoroughly researched features, from women who understand and are well-equipped to tackle the concerns you’re facing. Meanwhile, we know for our audience who are parents, their children don't define them - but would like relatable advice and real-life stories about the struggles and juggles of modern parenthood - which is why we launched our Instagram-first parenting channel The Juggle in January 2020. We also know that our audience wants smart and thoughtful takes on pop culture and celebrity - which we deliver in spades.
We’ve got the bigger issues covered, too. From our take on some of our audience’s biggest milestones – from career pressures to relationships – to agenda-setting features on what’s affecting women globally, Grazia is the place smart women come to when they want to feel informed, entertained and inspired.
History
Grazia originated in Italy where it was launched in 1938 by Mondadori. It was launched in the UK in 2005 by Bauer Consumer Media as the first ever women’s glossy weekly magazine. It is now published in over 20 countries globally.
Fashion is at the heart of Grazia’s proposition in all territories, but the brand also is a thought-leader when it comes to what is driving today’s global woman, meaning it covers everything from beauty to TV and politics.
Today, Grazia UK is published fortnightly in print and available both on the newsstand and via subscription. Of particular note are the seven fashion issues a year, alongside special issues that are published in line with key events for example King Charles’s Coronation. Online, the brand website Grazia Daily - www.graziadaily.co.uk - was launched in 2008 - and covers the same content pillars and topics as the print magazine, on an hourly and daily basis. Grazia UK also reaches its audience on a range of platforms - Facebook, X, Instagram, Pinterest and TikTok. You can also find additional Grazia content on Apple News+. In 2021, we also started @TheJuggleUK – a social community of parents who share advice, humour and passions.
Editorial Policy
As qualified, experienced journalists, the Grazia team are experts in their chosen field. That means you’ll get authoritative recommendations, insight and advice you can trust from them and the pool of talent that contribute to the brand.
Our audience of ABC1 women are at the heart of everything Grazia does. Using data, research and focus groups, we listen to what our audience want to hear – and create compelling content in response to help inform, entertain, inspire and assist them in their busy lives.
We want to give our audience the ability to be part of shaping Grazia and actively encourage feedback via our social media channels and by emailing feedback@graziamagazine.co.uk. Readers can subscribe to print and/or join the Grazia Beauty Club, our VIP membership proposition where they gain access to additional content, products and events from the Grazia beauty team and our partners.
We feel a responsibility to use our power and platform to campaign on the issues that matter to our audience – and make meaningful changes to her life. Over the years, we have successfully campaigned on issues, including equal pay – resulting in the UK government changing the law so that all companies who have over 250 employees must publish their gender pay gap annually. We are currently calling on the government to hold an independent review into the affordability and accessibility of childcare – something the Labour party have promised to deliver while still in opposition. We will now be working to hold them to this promise. In addition, we are working with the charity Refuge topetition tech companies to put women’s safety at the heart of their tech design.

Why you should trust Grazia UK
Our team of experienced editors and journalists work hard to ensure everything you read from Grazia - whether that’s in print, online or from one of our social media accounts is fully fact-checked and edited for accuracy, fairness and clarity. All stats and information we cite are fully checked at source and we never use quotes we can’t back up and verify.
When we recommend product to you, it’s because we think they’re genuinely worth shouting about. We test products as much as we can, and where we haven’t been able to check a product out first hand but have heard that it’s great, we’re honest about that. We also call upon our beauty panel of trusted experts to share their honest views on the products we’re trying out. We may get paid commission when you buy something that you click through from on Grazia Daily, that we never allow this to influence the products we recommend to you.
Whether we’re testing within the team, or asking out readers to test for us, we work hard to ensure diversity, equality and inclusion within our product reviews, using a wide range of testers that reflect the different experiences of our readers when they’re shopping for and selecting products. We strive to feature products that work for as wide a range of people as possible, and ensure we're covering a wide-range of price points in our product selection.
We also have a strict privacy policy - and adhere to Bauer Media’s commitment to respecting and protecting your data when it’s in our care. You can read more about our privacy policy here.
Product Reviews and recommendations: how we test
We use our knowledge and experience as experts in beauty, fashion, parenting,interiors and lifestyle to test and select products we think you’ll love. We try out and test products the way we think our readers will use them - whether that’s whether a new foundation lasts the course after eight hours in the office or whether the most popular toy on sale for Christmascan withstand playtime with a boisterous two year old. We use search data, trends and our own life experience to decide which products our readers want to know more about, and work hard to ensure that we’re reviewing and recommending products in a way that’s useful, transparent and with expertise.
Whether it’s sex toys or mascaras, have clear parameters for testing our products, and ask our testers to consider the same things you’ll be thinking about when you’re making a purchase - not just whether the product lives up to its promise (although we look at that as well), but whether that cleanser comes in a bottle with a pump dispenser or a lid, whether those wide-legged jeans skim the ground on our 5ft 3 inches tester, or how many shades that new ‘wonder foundation’ is actually available in.
Clothing
Where possible we'll try and try on the clothes we're recommending - so we can tell you about the cut, the fabric and wearability of an item, not just what it looks like. We aim to feature as diverse a range of body shapes as possible, so you can see how different clothes will work for you. And when we’re testing out clothing with a practical application - like shapewear or the best raincoats, we consider the technical specifications of the product, where it would work well, and - just as importantly - the limitations of that particular product. We want our readers to have all the information necessary to make as informed a choice as possible.
Hair and Beauty
When we review makeupand beauty products, we try to test on a range of different skin types and skin tones over the course of a week. Similarly, for hair products or tools, we endeavour to test them on as many different hair types as possible and share original imagery and video of the testing process. Where we haven’t been able to, we will try and include external reviews from as wide a range of different places as possible, and be clear and transparent about that.
Skincare
When we're putting the latest cleansers, moisturisers and serums to the test, we aim to try them out on as many different skin types and tones as possible, in real-life settings, so really get a sense of how they worked for us - where we can we'll show you before and after pictures so you can really see how a product worked on us. As well exploring whether the latest wonder-product lived up to the hype, we think about all the other things you care about - the small print around active ingredients, whether the product features an SPF, and how much packaging there is.
Parenting Products
We ask our team of parent testers on the team and beyond to put everything from toysto the best baby slings through their paces, testing on an appropriate range of children and considering and considering the longevity of a product, as well all those little things a parent really wants to know before committing to a purchase - how much noice does that toy make (and does it have an off switch), does it eat batteries? Is it machine washable?
We can’t test every single product we feature in Grazia, but when we’ve been unable to test ourselves, we scour your reviews of the products we’re featuring on Amazon, Google and other sites to make sure we’re only featuring products that are well-loved and highly recommended. But we never pretend to review products when we haven’t seen them, and will always be clear about what we’ve tested.
While we may receive commission or other compensation on our website, we never allow this to influence policy selections - we will always strive to give our readers all the information they need to make informed purchases from our website.
