Good (early) morning everyone!

It's Dominique here from the Global Makeup Awards.  Today I'm up too early....3.45am because the sun is just rising, it's one day after the summer solstice.  That's not a regular habit of mine... more just being someone who once sees the sun is up, I can never get back to sleep again, anyone else like that?

A little quick update with where we are with the awards.  We currently have TWO awards open.  We have both the 2020 Global Green Beauty Awards open (a green beauty awards alternative) and the 2020 USA Global Makeup Awards open. (This is like the other Global Makeup Awards you know and love, but this time we've branched out into the fabulous American market, where the is so much beauty innovation and expertise.  We are so excited to be launching in the USA and for our USA beauty awards to be taking on a whole other shape and dimension.  Entries for the Global Green Beauty Award end July 15th, and for the USA Global Makeup Awards the entries close August 1st.  We don't normally have two awards running at the same time, but as you all know coronavirus has wreaked havoc on schedules and timings so we have had to have had a little reshuffle!

In other beauty related news, we have had delivery of our 2020 UK Global Makeup Awards trophies.  They are so beautiful.  We love our innovatively designed A6 perspex block beauty award trophies.  They look so cute on a desk to celebrate a win or placed on a shelf. 

If you have just entered our Global Green Beauty Awards or the USA Global Makeup Awards and would like to order one like in the picture, just let us know.  Why not try and collect one for each global region that we run our awards in, or one each year?  They cost £150 for one trophy celebrating one win, but be sure to let us know soon as you win as we have a short order window.

What do you receive when you win in our awards?
We really do try to add value in our awards.  Every winner in our beauty awards receives for free and entry in our Global Makeup Magazine, and for the moment that includes an image too. You also receive a paper certificate posted to your door and of course our iconic awards logo and a mention with back link on our website.  But, if that's not enough for you and you would like something physical on your desk, then an additional perspex trophy is exactly what you are looking for.  

We also announce the winners in Diary Directory.  Have you signed up to it yet?  It is such an amazing beauty tool to find out  what is going on in the beauty events calendar, and their daily email is really interesting.  You'll also never miss out on our awards dates this way either!

Will you ever run a gala?

A gala for our beauty awards is something we are so keen to do.  What better event is there for networking, socialising, having a good knees up and of course for finding out the winners to the beauty awards with a celebration gala.  However, for the moment with the coronavirus pandemic we need to keep things safe.  As soon as things return to pre-apocalypse (kidding! but you know what I mean) then it is definitely something we will put on the table.

The sun is really coming up now and it's already time for another coffee.  If you have received your UK Global Makeup Awards trophy please do send me a picture of it so I can feature on the website and social media.  Our next UK awards isn't until January 2021 so let's keep the ball rolling and news about the 2020 awards hot hot hot!

Peace and love

Hi everyone. Dan here, firstly with a little update on life here in Italy and then with a quick spotlight
on one of the victors after the recent announcement of the winners at the 2020 UK Global Makeup
Awards.
So, since we last met, lockdown measures have gradually eased here in the region of Lombardy.
Lombardy is in the north of the country; it borders Switzerland and its two largest cities are Milan
and Brescia. The word Lombardy is originally formed from Long and Beard, that’s pretty cool. I’m
down in the Brescia region, among the stunning mountains at the popular holiday destination Lake
Garda.

Over the past week, shops and restaurants have gradually reopened, and once again there are
people on the streets and visiting cafes. On Friday afternoon I had an appointment in the beautiful
lakeside town of Salo, and there was a wonderful energy and atmosphere as friends re-connected
with each other after nearly 3 months of isolation. Everyone seemed to respect social distancing and
the police were helping restaurateurs to arrange their tables according to new regulations
Personally, I’ve particularly enjoyed getting my paddleboard back out on the lake. The scenery here
is beautiful but I don’t think any view of the area beats the view from when you are actually in or on
the lake!
​
In addition to getting out on the lake, our international team has been busy announcing the UK
winners of the 2020 Global Makeup Awards. There were over 350 entries to our beauty awards and
over the next few blogs, we’re excited to share more information and background on some of the
winners. You can read our debuted new magazine "Global Makeup Magazine" showing the winner's showcase for the 2020 Global Makeup Awards here. 

Let’s start with the BEST CLEANSER GOLD WINNER. Beuti skincare prevailed in a competitive market
to take home the gold award for their Pomegranate glow 3 in 1 enzyme cleanser & Phytoessence

Biocosmetics Face Cleansing Oil, launched in 2015 by former aesthetician LEILA AALAM with the
mission of providing high quality yet affordable beauty products free from unnecessary chemicals.
Beuti products were an immediate hit and Kate Middleton even took care to include their products
while packing her hospital bag as she prepared to give birth to little Louis -read the blog here:

The Pomegranate glow 3 in 1 enzyme cleanser is a fantastic product which in addition to being an
excellent cleanser, also functions as a facemask when left applied for 5-10 minutes. The fermented
Pomegranate acts like a gentle glycolic acid which exfoliates and cleanses skin while rose clay while
Copaiba Balsam soothes and protects against inflammation.
Beuti were hugely deserving winners in this category of beauty awards despite facing a lot of
competition from other high-quality brands. Do check out their website where you can order online
and access a list of stockists throughout the UK, USA and Europe - https://beutiskincare.com/shop/
That’s all for now but please stay tuned for more spotlights on worthy winners from our most recent
awards over the coming days and weeks. We love sharing more information with you about our
winners and their stories!
