Meredith Corporation‘s HelloGiggles has announced the winners of the Beauty Crush Awards 2021, featuring the top beauty products across categories, including skincare, hair, nails and makeup.
 
“It’s with great excitement that we announce this year’s winners. After months of testing, interviewing, and researching, we have full confidence in these winners. They’re not just products we recommend to our readers, they’re also the items that we love and use in our daily lives,” said Pia Velasco, senior beauty and fashion editor at HelloGiggles.
 
How The Winners Were Chosen
 
Every year HelloGiggles tests thousands of beauty products to find the best for its annual Beauty Crush Awards. For this year’s awards, HelloGiggles contacted 682 beauty brands and requested up to 10 submissions from each.
 
Products under consideration in each category were sent to testers, who ranked the products on a number of factors. Testers included beauty professionals, as well as HelloGiggles editorial staff. The professionals ranged from dermatologists and makeup artists to cosmetic chemists and hairstylists. Brands performing good works, such as investing in STEM programs for women or using sustainable packaging, were awarded bonus points in the ranking system.
 
In total, 2,762 products were considered, and 187 took home awards in the drugstore and luxe categories. The complete list of HelloGiggles Beauty Crush Awards 2021 can be found here.
