CLEANSER WINNER 2020
The sweet periwinkle blue going into a transparent frosted glass that shows the bright yellow of the cleansing balm gives such a fresh and modern look. The typography is very clean and the whole product has such an overall appealing look.
MOISTURIZER WINNER 2020
This sweet little moisturizer from Glow Recipe has a really nice rounded glass jar with a smooth straight lid in a just right banana yellow lid with the clear glass showing the slightly paler cream inside is such a treat.
TONER WINNER 2020
The unique shape of the glass bottle with the pale pink lid and clean typography gives a really clean and modern look with a twist. The bottle was sculpted in clay and then made into a mold, giving it such a special look.
FACE MASK WINNER 2020
Glow recipe's Avocado Melt is another amazing packaging design with a really unique shape.
FACE MIST WINNER 2020
This face mist from Glossier has a lovely millennial pink color which looks really nice on the semi transparent top Which is finished with a white label with simple black sans serif text.
HIGHLIGHTER WINNER 2020
This face mist from Glossier has a lovely millennial pink color which looks really nice on the semi transparent top Which is finished with a white label with simple black sans serif text.
MASCARA WINNER 2020
Really simple cylinder shape in signature millennial pink with the bold Glossier logo, classic.
BLUSH WINNER 2020
I love this design so much I wrote a whole blog post about it. The way the colors and typography is layed out and the type of tube reminds me of both paint tubes and pantone color swatches.
BODY MOISTURIZER
WINNER 2020
This design is so fun and lovely. The solid mango body butter is wrapped in paper with a cardboard around it that easily is ripped off in sections as you use up more of the bar and then it can be placed inside another cardboard package that it fits perfectly inside. Every layer looks just perfect.
PRIMER WINNER 2020
Really lovely minimalist packaging from ilia, they recently did a redesign of their packaging and the new one looks amazing. The packaging is off-white matte opaque plastic, which I think makes it look more expensive than if it just were a basic glossy white. They even color matched the silicone dropper top to match the color of the plastic.
SERUM/FACE OIL WINNER 2020
Herbivores Lapis has a square clear glass bottle with a plain white dropper bottle lid and minimalist typography that really shows off the bright blue of the serum inside the bottle.
HAIR CARE WINNER 2020
The Honey Infused Hair Mask from Gisou comes in a clear glass jar with a thick bottom. The lid is a soft light pink plastic. The whole jar is a straight cylinder making the design look really clean.
SUNSCREEN WINNER 2020
HAND CREAM WINNER 2020
FOUNDATION WINNER 2020
CONCEALER WINNER 2020
A really sleek and minimal design from Rare Beauty. Love the matte look with the pale pink lid. The round knob on the lid not only looks nice, it also makes it easier to open and hold while using. It makes it easier for everyone but it can also be an enormous help for people that have dexterity challenges. It's just so perfect when packaging can look nice and be more practical for it.
