NEW YORK, Aug. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today,
Cosmetic Executive Women (CEW) virtually announced the finalists
for 2020 Beauty Awards in partnership with Gloss
Angeles podcast hosts and beauty journalists, Kirbie Johnson and Sara
Tan via livestream. The awards continue to celebrate the
most innovative and groundbreaking new products of the year and
remain the industry's highest honor.
Finalists from the 45 categories were selected from
more than 1,200 entries, represented by hundreds of brands,
and were exclusively selected by a vote of CEW members, all of whom
are beauty industry professionals. These finalists will be reviewed
CEW's Board of Governors and select industry insiders to vote to
determine the winners in each category, which will be revealed
November 13 for a virtual Beauty
Awards. (Additional details to come).
"For nearly three decades, the CEW Beauty Awards continue to be
the only beauty awards selected by beauty professionals – those who
truly know the best in beauty," says Carlotta Jacobson, President of CEW. "These
awards continue to guide consumers as they navigate the beauty
space, discovering the most creative and innovative products,
demonstrating the ongoing evolution of the industry."
In a year that saw $83 billion in
U.S. beauty sales, according to Nielsen, innovation amongst
entrants was seen across a variety of categories. Those that rose
to the top include the uber ingredient CBD, sexual wellness,
supplements, indie and niche-stige brands, 'clean-ical' skincare
and hair treatments, along with the new categories Sexual Wellness,
Skincare Face Masks, Hair Accessories and Unisex Fragrance.
"For the first time, the Beauty Awards Finalists were announced
in a livestream broadcast with an opportunity to interact and
engage with viewers in real time," Jacobson added. "CEW's
partnership with Kirbie and Sara, co-hosts of the popular podcast,
Gloss Angeles, have brought the excitement and notoriety of
CEW's Beauty Awards program to an even broader
audience."
To unite and celebrate the beauty industry during a time when
it's needed most, CEW enlisted Kirbie
Johnson and Sara Tan to
provide their fun, up-lifting take on all things beauty. Select
pieces of content from the livestream will be featured on CEW's
