BEAUTY DESIGN AWARDS
2024

Beauty design awards celebrates the best of design in the beauty industry. 2024 will be our fifth year running the award. The award is founded and lead by the beauty brand expert Jennifer Carlsson.

When deciding on the finalist and later winners for Beauty Design Awards we look for products that bring the packaging and formulation together to create a great user experience. Everything about the product is created intentionally by design. The packaging should not just be pretty, other factors that are also considered are usability, sustainability, innovation and novelty. For the formulation we look at texture, color, scent and how the product feels when applied. We do not judge effectiveness past what can be seen by eye at application. We focus on how all these factors come together to create the holistic experience of using the product. You can find a more detailed breakdown of what we look for here.

The finalists and winners are picked by Beauty Design Awards, with exception for the consumer favorite category which all finalist products are eligible for.

Submission close August 31st 2024. If you're sending products for consideration please send them before this data to make sure they get here in time.

The Beauty Design Awards 2024 Finalists will be announced in October.

All the winners of Beauty Design Awards 2024 will be announced before the end of December.

To us good design also involves your product being created in a good way, that's why we consider being cruelty free a baseline minimum that every brand should live up. Brands that test on animals, let others test on animals on their behalf or is owned by a parent company tests on animals do not qualify for Beauty Design Awards. Other than that any cosmetics brand can be nominated for Beauty Design Awards as long as they have products that qualify for the categories.

Products are eligible for Beauty Design Awards if they: are from an eligible brand are cruelty free have not been selected as a finalist previous years are sold in 2024
