The results are in for Bauer Media’s Australian Beauty Awards, which sees both beauty editors from the publishing house and readers testing and announcing the best beauty products of 2013.
Launched in 2009, the Australian Beauty Awards acknowledge the best products the industry has to offer in hair, face, skin care, eyes, body, fragrance, hands, nails and lips, with winners awarded ‘Readers Choice’ and ‘Judges Choice’ honours.
The ‘Judges Choice’ award sees a panel of beauty experts join beauty editors from major Bauer titles including Australian Women’s Weekly, Woman’s Day, CLEO, Cosmopolitan and Harper’s Bazaar to test thousands of products.
The Australian Beauty Awards are acknowledged as the most prestigious in the business. Taking out a gong means you can confidently say that you have the best, and I mean the absolute best, product out there,” says The Australian Women’s Weekly beauty and health director Kelly Baker.
See below for a full list of Australian Beauty Awards winners.
