2020 ruined a lot of things, but it didn’t ruin our annual Cosmopolitan Beauty & Influencer Awards, where we celebrated the best in the biz when it comes to all things make-up, skincare, haircare, mental health, body positivity and beyond.
We’re thrilled to announce our exclusive judging panel: Former Cosmo ME cover stars Hindash, Karen Wazen, Elnaz Golrokh, and the brains behind all of Kylie Cosmetics’ Instagram filters, Sophie Katirai. Between them, they have tested literally thousands of products over the last 12 months, in search of the most innovative technology, ground-breaking formulas, and trail-blazing influencers.
And so, behold, the winners of the 2020 Cosmopolitan Beauty & Influencer Awards:
