Over the course of six weeks, in categories spanning skincare, bodycare, make-up and fragrance, you’ve been busy voting for your favourite beauty products. From the Best Luxury Skincare Brand (clue: its Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm is a cult favourite) and the best affordable buys, loved by dermatologists and TikTokkers alike, to the top hair tool, there’s something to satisfy all beauty buffs. This year, more than 850,000 of you voted, making us the largest consumer-voted beauty awards in the country.
You told us the self-tan that you swear by and the fragrances you won’t be without, the retailer you’re most loyal to when it comes to stocking up your make-up bag and bathroom cabinet, and the hair product that guarantees a good hair day. In Best Gadget or Tool, we asked you to pick between clever razors, sculpting facial tools, LED masks and hair wavers. In choosing the Best Expert-Led Beauty Brand, you chose between brilliant facialists and celebrity make-up artists to name one that far exceeds expectations (she’s a real hit with the A-list). For Suncare Saviour, the new generation of SPF and sunscreen (invisible, blendable and packed full of skincare benefits) were put under the microscope for you to choose between, and in the Blockbuster Skincare Launch category, the wizziest serums, cleansers and creams battled it out. In the Best Beauty Brand Making a Difference category, the brands doing good stepped up to the plate, sharing the schemes and plans that are helping both planet and people. And that’s not to forget the wellness aficionados, either. With Best Wellness Brand and Best Wellness Game-Changer categories, we’ve covered all bases to find the heroes that keep you feeling good inside and out. So, without further ado, here are your 2024 winners…
