Beauty design awards celebrates the best of design in the beauty industry. 2025 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 2025. 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 2025 Finalists will be announced in October 2025.

All the winners of Beauty Design Awards 2025 will be announced before the end of December 2025.
