Cops, Lawyers, Teachers, and More Career Women Who Beauty Blog on the Side


Beauty blogging can be a full-time job. But what happens if you love your career too much to give it up? Pennsylvania police officer Leslie Ann started her YouTube channel “The Beauty Cop” to combine her two loves: makeup and law enforcement. Since joining the site in 2014, she’s released dozens of makeup tutorials and product reviews.

Leslie Ann also makes a point to post photos of herself in full “Instagram makeup” while in her work uniform. “I want girls, especially my daughters, to not feel like they have to choose to be a certain type of girl. It shouldn’t matter what career they want to pursue,” she told The Daily Mail. This should go without saying in 2017, but yes, pretty girls can be cops, robbers, and anything else they want to be. “My goal is to be a role model and motivate other girls to just be themselves,” said Leslie Ann.

Her site is inspiring not just for her seemingly incongruous career choice, but for the fact that Leslie Ann has a career aside from working towards site sponsorships and ad buys. In a world where “Instagram celebrity” is rapidly becoming a profession, it’s refreshing to see someone who blogs simply for the love of beauty. Ahead, a few more bloggers with day jobs:

One followup question: Does she know Justin Trudeau?
