This awards program acknowledges outstanding products, brands, and professionals who have made significant contributions to the makeup industry. It typically encompasses various categories such as best makeup products, skincare, and beauty tools, and winners are often selected through a rigorous judging process, highlighting the best products and talent in the global beauty market.
Universal Beauty Awards

​For all countries
The 2026 Universal Beauty Awards opens on 16th October 2025 for entries.

​We have seen game-changing beauty products from every sector - electronics, hair care, wellbeing, supplements, skincare, makeup, body care and more.
This awards was created in response to our past winners who didn't identify as 'makeup' and therefore is for every beauty brand, from fragrance, to hair care, to body care to devices and of course skin care.
There were no limits - the brand could have been launched with any launch date and from any country.
