Presenting: The Winners of the 2022 Beauty Awards!

Welcome back to my annual Beauty Awards!

For context, back in the day when I was a magazine editor we used to do beauty awards each year and I absolutely loved the concept. It was such a great way to rank products that editors loved and compile a complete list of the best of the best. I wanted to find a way to incorporate that concept into my own content creation, and thus the beauty awards was born!

Presenting: The Winners of the 2022 Beauty Awards!

I hosted my first Beauty Awards four years ago (!!!) on my YouTube channel but since I’ve changed my YouTube content to focus primarily on creator tips, I’ve decided to host the awards on the blog for the second year in a row.

Part of my job as a beauty creator is testing products and reviewing them all so you don’t have to.

As a reminder that means that often I am gifted products from brands but I am under no obligation to give them a positive review, recommend them, or even talk about them at all unless I choose to do so at my own editorial discretion. Like right now!

So, with that being said every product I’m sharing here are products I genuinely love and recommend that you check out. As you’ll see there are some products that are two, three or even four time winners, so pay extra close attention to those because you’ll know they stand the test of time and that they’ve become staples in my collection.

I am the one and only judge here, so keep in mind if I’m recommending a product, I’ll be sure to mention the shade I use but that may not be the shade that would work best for you. Also I have straight hair and normal/dry skin if that helps you decide if a product is worth checking out.

Let’s get on with the show: without further ado, presenting the 70 best beauty products of 2022 according to, well, me!

Presenting: The Winners of the 2022 Beauty Awards - skin products

 

best of beauty 2022: Skin

My skincare routine is one of my favorite parts of my day. I feel like I’ve found a rhythm where I’ll alternate and do a more treatment-heavy routine and then swap in a more moisturizing routine. See below for links to my top skin products of this year!

best of beauty 2022: Face

This category was heavy on repeat favorites that I really feel stand the test of time, but I also got to try some new products that quickly found their way to the front of my makeup drawer in 2022 (even resulting in me wearing a few to my engagement shoot!). See below for my top face products of the year!

Best of beauty 2022: Product of the year

I thought long and hard about what to crown my favorite product of 2022, and when I tell you that nothing impressed me more than the It Cosmetics Nude Glow CC+ Cream, it’s the truth. This product is the perfect balance of coverage and dewiness that you’d want in a base. It Cosmetics has continued to iterate on its very successful collection of CC Creams and I feel like they can really only go up from here.

Winner: It Cosmetics Nude Glow CC+ Cream (I wear the shade Fair Light)

 

 

Best of beauty 2022: brand of the year

Choosing a brand for brand of the year is so hard especially when you have brands doing such great work—but if you ask me, no one tops Rare Beauty right now. For one, the brand seeks to expand access to mental health resources and founder Selena Gomez’s presence at the White House Youth Summit this year brought more awareness to the cause. Next, the products are just top tier—great names, packaging, formulation and staying power. And lastly, they are killing it on the social media and marketing front. Whether it’s Selena collaborating with popular TikTok creators or CMO Katie Welch sharing the behind-the-scenes for people who want to work in beauty, the Rare Beauty team is doing the WORK.

Winner: Rare Beauty

Honorable Mentions: Paula’s Choice, Kosas, Charlotte Tilbury
