We're doing things a little differently at Marie Claire in 2026. Our beauty awards (previously the Skin & Hair Awards and the Makeup Awards) are merging together—and expanding to include Nails, Body Care, and Drugstore Staples. In short, it's a very exciting time to be a beauty product.
Entries, which cost $300 per product and per category, guarantee first-hand testing by our incredible panel of judges, including the MC Beauty Team and 100 expert makeup artists, hairstylists, dermatologists, and beauty insiders. The goal is to determine the absolute best products in the business—the ones we can wholeheartedly recommend to our millions of readers.
