The 2019 Scandinavian Global Makeup Awards will be announced on 10th December!

December is an exciting month, we’re all looking forward to Christmas, presents, delicious food and
seeing our families and friends. What else could we possibly want? Well, for those who work in the
make-up industry, an award to acknowledge all the passion, effort and creativity they have put in to
driving forward their products would be a nice cherry on the top after a hard year!
​
Additionally, for millions of customers around the world, a stamp of approval on a product which
confirms its quality and value is a very useful tool when faced with a myriad of options! In a world
where it can be hard to know which the best option is, an award from a trusted source makes things
just a little but easier. Judges at The Global Makeup Awards have decades of experience in the
industry and know everything there is to know about what makes a great product!
It’s also been a busy twelve months for us, and we are also looking forward to finishing the year with
a bang! 2019 has brought a record number of entries, and we can safely say that the bar continues
to rise. The competition has been strong, and it warms our hearts to see the advances made in the
industry.

Makeup products are continuously developing, improving and adapting in an ever-changing industry.
This can’t happen without a lot of blood, sweat and tears behind the scenes. As we near the holiday
period and a well-earned chance to relax and re-charge it is time to assess the year’s achievements
and to recognise the passion and exertion that has been involved in creating amazing new products
that satisfy the highest of expectations in a fast-paced world.
Picking the winners has been a difficult task and our six judges have meticulously analysed every
product entered into the competition, ensuring that every entry has been scrutinised and tested.
They have had the pleasure of testing a wide range of quality makeup products from a number of
brands but then been faced with the arduous task of scoring and ranking the products.
Now, the time is here to announce the results, and, on the 10th December, we will name the
winners of the Gold and Silver awards.

A massive thank you to all the companies who entered, and to our six esteemed judges who
approached their roles with enthusiasm, professionalism and diligence.
We’re starting the festive season on a high, who will be a winner this year? Not only does a win
reward the company and employees with recognition of their efforts but they will receive added
promotion and exciting content on social media and improve their SEO. The Scandinavian Global
Makeup Awards certificate looks great in the office and the logo makes an eye-catching and
attractive addition to your website and promotional material. As a wise woman once sang – “All I
Want for Christmas is a Scandinavian Global Makeup Award”, who will be crowned winner this year?

We are excited here at the Global Makeup Awards as we are opening to the Scandinavian Market in June to celebrate all things makeup, beauty and wellbeing!  Famous for their glowing skin, beautiful bone structure, love of organic, it made sense to see what are this years must have products from the Scandinavian beauty market.   Many people are interested in seeing what beauty and makeup brands cut the mustard in order to create that 'hygge' vibe and we are dedicated in showing our readers who we think are the best.

The Scandinavias are known for their love of makeup and skincare and it makes sense to recognise this region's market leaders to see who is the best for 2019.  We are delighted to say that from June we will be launching this year's inaugural awards to celebrate Scandinavian beauty and makeup.  The awards will follow the same procedure as for our UK awards.  Brands can nominate their products for the various categories, and after sending in product samples they will then be judges by our expert panel of judges.  After careful consideration by our panel of judges we will be then able to announce the winners of the Global Makeup Awards: Scandinavia and let the world know who is the best of the best from this nordic region.

Here at the Global Makeup Awards we are so excited to follow the hot trends for the Nordic Market.  Along with the influencers, we are seeing a strong trend in Scandi beauty.  Keeping things minimal and pure, and accentuating people's natural beauty.  There is also a strong trend in the Scandi beauty world at green and organic beauty trends.  This will be shown with more categories dedicated to all things green and organic.  There is also a large focus on skincare, again this will be reflected in the categories, with more focus on skincare and anti-ageing, as looking youthful is something Scandic women are famous for.  Lastly, to fit in with the whole hygge vibe of the Global Makeup Awards, Scandinavia, we have decided to have more of a focus on wellbeing.  You can expect more categories for things which make you feel great on the inside, such as aromatherapy products and more.

Looking at products from Norway, Sweden and Denmark, we are excited to see what delights these countries have on offer in the beauty, makeup and wellbeing world.  Every country has their own unique identity and we can't wait to let you know our favourites and the winners.

So from June, look out for the opening for the awards and if you are from a Scandinavian beauty or makeup brand, why not enter your products to see if they are the best of the best for 2019.

Hugs from the girls at the GMA's! xx

It's been a fast paced and incredible time for the inaugural launch of the 2019 global makeup awards!
We have been inundated with applications from all sides of the cosmetics world - face care, body care, haircare and of course, makeup!

We have loved working with you to see the newest and hottest launches of 2019 in the world of cosmetics, makeup and beauty.  All products entered are from after January 2018 so we know that the winners are a true reflection of the current trends within the beauty industry.

Winning a beauty award or makeup award is important for both brands and consumers.  It allows brands to showcase their award winning products, and for the consumer, it makes it an easier way to see which is the best of the best.  Our followers want to see products compared with similar products.  For example, they want to know the best mascara was chosen from a range of mascaras.  This is compared to other awards which have 'eye makeup' as a category which means mascaras are compared with eyeshadows.  We are as discerning as our followers and it makes sense we provide the makeup awards as we would love to see ourselves.  

So when someone sees a winners badge from the Global Makeup Awards, they will know for sure that the makeup or beauty product which has won the awards is the best of the best from within the field.

With just 3 days left to enter the awards its your last chance as a cosmetics or beauty company to enter your award.  With 6 samples required our judges will test the product purely on the product efficacy.

We look forward to seeing your entries and to celebrating a fantastic announcement on the 7th June 2019 for the Global Makeup Awards - which celebrates the best of the best in the beauty and cosmetics industry, both globally and in the UK.
