Better Homes & Gardens has named its annual 'Life in Color' Beauty Award winners. The complete list is below.
A total of 51 winners were named in five "Best of" categories—At-Home Spa, Facial Skin Care, Makeup, Hair and Body.
"This year's Life in Color Beauty Awards aims to help consumers make smarter and more streamlined choices for their beauty routine while focusing on sustainability, inclusivity, and affordability," said Stephen Orr, Editor in Chief of Better Homes & Gardens.
The team at Better Homes & Gardens says the variety of the winners that were chosen will work for a wide variety of people, and will fit any budget. Every winner will also deliver promised results.
How were the products judged? Better Homes & Gardens editors and beauty experts tested hundreds of products, which all launched in the past year. The judging panel included dermatologists, bloggers, and professional hair stylists.
All the nominees were put through a rigorous testing process, with judges incorporating the products in their own routines for several weeks.
