The 12 best beauty products in the world, as voted for in the Marie Claire UK Prix D'Excellence Awards 2023

Prix Awards 2023

Tonight, we celebrated the Marie Claire Prix D’Excellence de la Beauté 2023 awards. Every year, Marie Claire editors from around the globe join forces to test and vote for the best beauty products the world has to offer. After months of meticulous testing and deliberation, six products are awarded the coveted Marie Claire Prix D'Excellence de la Beauté International prizes. Together with our Marie Claire beauty counterparts in the U.S., we also decide on a Transatlantic winner.

As for our British awards? The Marie Claire UK beauty team, comprised of Beauty & Style Director, Lisa Oxenham, and Acting Senior Beauty Editor, Shannon Lawlor, enlisted the help of four guest judges (Sali Hughes, Anita Bhagwandas, Ateh Jewel and Alice Hart-Davis) to crown eight more products, campaigns or pioneers as winners. 

Our British prizes see us test and reward products across make-up, skin, body and hair, with awards also being given to brands for our Sustainability and Beauty Gives Back awards. This year, we introduced two new categories to the line-up, including our British Award for Innovation and our Female Founder award. 

So, without further ado, here are the Marie Claire UK Prix D'Excellence winners...
