I’m a Beauty Shortlist Awards Judge Again
Thrilled and honoured to share that I’m once again on the expert judging panel for the brilliant Beauty Shortlist Awards.

Real Experts. Real Judging. No AI.
The Beauty Shortlist Awards are judged by a panel of experts including editors, makeup artists, formulators, beauty pros and wellness specialists who know their stuff. No bots. No algorithms. No sponsors involved. This is one of the things that set these Awards apart. They are trusted and respected because both consumers and insiders know that a Beauty Shortlist Award is earned, never bought. Only the best of the best win, good enough will not do.
The Beauty Shortlist Awards (I like to call them the BS-free Awards 😉 will be celebrating 15 years in 2026. Before it was trendy or standard, they focused on championing brands with sustainable products that respected people and the planet.

Why the Beauty Shortlist Awards Matter
- Celebrate the Small but Mighty: These awards are a game-changer for small, eco-conscious businesses. The level playing field means that your favourite local, sustainable, and green brands have a fair shot at being recognized and celebrated for their outstanding products.
- Planet Power: By supporting brands that prioritize eco-friendliness, cruelty-free practices, and better ingredients, the Beauty Shortlist Awards empower consumers to make more conscious choices.
- Beauty Awards You Can Trust: No sponsors to please and judges who are experts in their fields, who have tried hundreds if not thousands of products in their time. Every single entry is meticulously tested for its quality and efficacy. Only the very best make the cut. When you see that “Beauty Shortlist Winner” label, it’s a real badge of honour that you know you can trust.
- Discover Hidden Gems: As a judge, I’ve had the privilege of discovering hidden gems. There are some really special brands and products out there, just waiting to be noticed. These awards help you unearth those treasures. For brands winning a Beauty Shortlist Award can help give them the recognition they deserve.
- Industry Impact: The Beauty Shortlist Awards are respected by beauty industry icons and buyers. Winning can lead to increased visibility and distribution, ultimately helping brands to grow.

The Final Countdown: Entries Close on 30th September!
