“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.

Nothing could have catapulted our profile like the Beauty Shortlist and we are forever indebted”

About The Beauty Shortlist & BSL Awards
Launched in 2012 by Fiona Klonarides (The Beauty Shortlist in 2009) the awards grew quickly and organically to become the UK’s leading indie natural beauty awards before going global in 2017.
Voted into the Top 10 in the “Top 25 Who’s Who in Natural Beauty” for the past 8 consecutive years (Natural Beauty News) by those working in the natural beauty and health industries, Fiona has been championing, encouraging, mentoring and showcasing natural and organic brands since the Beauty Shortlist launched.
What we do includes…
Red flagging industry malpractices such as greenwashing or unethical behaviour to provide a completely transparent, ethical, hand-on-heart 100% “tried, loved, recommended” shopping guide and beauty edit which consumers know they can absolutely trust.
