There is just one month left to enter the 2020 USA Global Makeup Awards.

This is our inaugural launch for the USA and we know it is going to be just as big as the UK Global Makeup Awards was.

It made sense to expand our awards to different regions across the globe,  There are so many brands out there, and for America all the more so, there are so many great MADE IN THE USA brands!  So it is time to celebrate them.

Beauty Awards are a big thing in the UK.  In fact there are a tonne of them.  We love to celebrate the best of the best new launches and consumers are always looking to find what is the hottest on trend beauty product on the market right now.  But when you look to the USA, things have gone a bit quieter on the beauty awards and makeup awards front?  There are the odd awards by magazines but not many awards that we can see which are independently judged and adjudicated by a team of beauty experts. For two countries with not only a shared language, but also a shared love of beauty products this seems to not align correctly.  So we are delighted that the Global Makeup Awards has branched out and created an awards, just for America. 

Products need to be  available to purchase in America either by post or in shop in order to enter these awards. American beauty products are a huge thing.  In fact - even Cosmo did an article for UK residents on what beauty products to buy in America if they are visiting there as not all are available to buy in the UK, making some products a bit like cult classics....especially when shopping in the famous ULTA and Sephora. I mean, some people even pack an extra suitcase when travelling to the USA just for beauty buys... oh and some Hershey's chocolate.  In fact, in America, these are called the MVP Beauty Players - or in other words, the Most Valuable Player beauty brands.

Did you know Glossier (it's only been around since 2014 can you believe it!?) Drunk Elephant and CoverGirl were all American beauty brands?  That's right.  Some more hot American beauty brands out there right now and perhaps a little lesser known in the UK are BeautyCounter's tinted moisturizer, and RMS beauty un-coverup.

We've all heard of Kylie cosmetics here in the UK and we are hoping they will be entering the 2020 USA Global Makeup Awards. We'd love to try their Stormi palette with its unique periwinkle shade and beautiful butterfly packaging.  Let's see how it rates against the other big palette players like Urban Decay's Naked palette.  The Kylie Cosmetics brand was made famous by the Kylie Lip Kit - which sold both a lippie and a pencil for $36.

There is also Milk Makeup out there, which is an American brand from New York.  They don't currently ship internationally which means it's time to book a flight and a suitcase if you want to get your hands on their Matcha stick cleanser.

Our 2020 USA Global Makeup Awards close in just one month.  That's not much time to get entries in and we can't wait to see which hot hot hot products will be entering this year.  We are of course looking for the best of new launches and are so excited to see who the winners will be in this year's American beauty awards.

Anywho, we will be announcing the winners for the USA Global Makeup Awards on 10th September - so keep an eye out - it's going to be one to watch if you want to keep up to date on the hottest beauty trends on the other side of the pond

We are so delighted to announce that tomorrow the USA 2020 Global Makeup Awards opens!
We are so excited to make this awards truly global as through opening in the USA, the beauty hub of the world, we will be sure to see huge innovation in the beauty and cosmetics industry.

The global makeup awards looks at new launches - so we are looking for beauty entries which have been launched after January 2018 and and are available to purchase in the USA.  The global makeup awards is currently open in three regions - the UK, Scandinavia, and now also the USA.

Winners receive a paper certificate, a mention in our online magazine Global Makeup Magazine and a link on our website. It costs £100 to enter the awards with one product and we require 6 product samples.  Products are judged on their efficacy by the judges, so as long as the product is a game changing, great product, you have a chance of winning an award!

You've got to be in it to win it though.  And to win what we call a 'beauty oscar' - just click on the enter award page here.

Categories are for makeup, skincare, haircare, bodycare and brand categories.  We are looking at a wide range of beauty innovations so there is a category for everyone within the beauty industry.

The deadline to enter is August 1st and winners will be announced on September 10th 2020.

We look forward to seeing a host of new brands enter, especially ones which are only based in the USA.  To enter the awards, your beauty brand has to be available to purchase in the USA, either in a shop or by post.

 We are ecstatic to announce the launch of the USA 2020 Global Makeup Awards.  We had over 350 entrants for the UK awards, and we are sure we are going to beat this record with the USA.

The USA is the global leader in beauty and cosmetics which means we can't wait to see their hottest launches for 2020.  We were so excited to go to the North America, Las Vegas COSMOPROF beauty event this year, which has been postponed. It typically attracts over 40,000 guests which is quite incredible.  They are hoping their June dates will now be in September but due to the coronavirus outbreak this might be postponed again.  Let's wait and see!

Regardless of Las Vegas Cosmoprof, we will be going ahead with the USA 2020 Global Makeup Awards.  We have some key dates for your calender so be sure to put down the following for our beauty awards:
