This year, we gave our beauty awards a makeover and assembled juries made up of our editors, industry experts, as well as influencers and a few lucky readers, to weigh in on the best new releases in skin care, body care, hair care, makeup, nail polish and fragrance, in 2017. Of course, there are a ton of classic, cult faves, too. We tried all 455 entries, rating them on performance, quality, packaging and ease of use. We also included a “2017 Innovation of the Year” category, looking for revolutionary products that deliver on results.
Before we get started, meet this year’s jury!
