Why is this so exciting?
In a world where many beauty awards are tied to sponsorships or serious PR campaigns, these are all about performance.
The Beauty Shortlist Awards emerged in 2012 and grew quickly to become the UK’s leading indie beauty awards before going global in 2017; these awards are particularly meaningful to us since they’re ad-free, sponsor-free, and trusted globally for their transparent, ethical approach.
The indie beauty world is truly lucky to have this organization as a champion — and we are so grateful for the global recognition. Enormous thanks to The Beauty Shortlist!
