With 48,600 votes submitted, Australian beauty lovers have had their say, and the winners of beautyheaven’s Glosscar Awards 2019 are here!
Revealing the most-loved new products and the best solutions to top-to-toe beauty concerns, engaged consumers voted for their favourite new product picks, awarding winners and runner-ups in 43 beauty categories, chosen from 535 product nominations.
This year saw the most even cross-section of both affordable and luxury brands taking the top spots. Long-time favourite Sukin swept up the most awards (four overall wins) and the newly launched male skincare brand HANDSOME taking second place with three overall wins.
Rose stood out as the most popular beauty ingredient with the note featured across three winning products and four runner-ups. It was also found that consumers are more passionate than ever about the facial care products they love and trust, with the skincare category receiving the most votes across the board.
“The most interesting outcome of this year’s award winners was the mix between affordable and high-end beauty products," said beautyheaven senior content producer, Sophie Howe.
"It’s clear that the Australian consumer wants effective beauty products, and isn't afraid to experiment between high-end and budget buys."
