Which beauty brands scooped prizes at the inaugural Pure Beauty Global Awards 2018?

The Pure Beauty Global Awards 2018 winners have been announced!

This is the place to see who came out on top at the debut Pure Beauty Global Awards across 26 categories from Best Innovation and Best New Lip Product to Best New Female Fragrance and Best New Skin Care.

With hundreds of entries from brands spanning 29 countries, our team of expert judges determined who was worthy to be crowned the best international beauty brands of 2018!

“The Pure Beauty Global Awards was an especially proud moment for the Pure Beauty team,” said Lucy Tandon Copp, Editor of Pure Beauty and Cosmetics Business.

“Welcoming so many innovative brands to the stage to celebrate their product achievements was an absolute honour.”

The winners were first revealed last night at a black and gold-themed gala – held at the same time as Beautyworld Middle East – at the Four Seasons Resort Dubai, Jumeirah Beach, and hosted by British television presenter Layne Redman.

Tandon Copp added: “As a networking opportunity, the awards were also a brilliant chance to make those crucial connections with international retailers and suppliers, and we were delighted to play a role in helping our guests form new business relationships.

“We’re now looking forward to the return of the Pure Beauty UK Awards this October when we’ll be crowning our UK beauty champions, with entries opening on 14th May.”
