ABOUT THE BEAUTY SHORTLIST AWARDS
These awards went global in 2017 and are now the largest sponsor-free, completely independent beauty awards in the UK.
The Beauty Shortlist Awards celebrate the brands and products that our panel of beauty experts consider absolutely outstanding in a very competitive marketplace (often marred by excessive marketing hype, greenwashing, bloated/inauthentic Instagram accounts or lack of full disclosure, and what can feel like an overwhelming number of product choices).
This year we’re celebrating 10 Years of The Beauty Shortlist! Join us on Monday 2 March 2020 to discover the much-loved products that received the highest scores collectively from this year’s panel of beauty industry professionals.

“As a new brand from Australia entering the UK market, the Beauty Shortlist was the obvious choice of our PR Agency, for awareness and profile. We were ecstatic to have been selected twice as a finalist in 2014 and 2015 for our mascara, liquid liner and eye pencils – the award gave us such credibility and has set us up as brand of quality in the UK. Nothing could have catapulted our profile like the Beauty Shortlist and we are forever indebted”
