NEW YORK, Dec. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Today Byrdie (www.byrdie.com) launched its
first-annual Byrdie Beauty Awards, called "The Byrdies," honoring
the best in beauty, across categories including Skin, Makeup, Hair,
Under $25, and People.
Byrdie's award-winning editors nominated, analyzed, and chose
winners for 91 different categories designed to help readers narrow
down the absolute best in beauty. Categories range from Best
At-Home Peel (Renee Rouleau Triple Berry Smoothing Peel)
to Best Lipstick (Mented Matte Lipstick), to Best
Deodorant (Megababe Daily Deodorant in Rosy Pits) and Best
Toothpaste (David's Premium Natural Toothpaste in Mint).
While Byrdie has published "best-of" features in the past, this
is the first time the editorial team has compiled a sweeping,
cross-category list of awards. Byrdie's annual Eco Beauty Awards,
which focuses on clean, sustainable beauty, is now in its fifth
year, and inspired this broader examination of the industry.
Byrdie's team of 15 editors, along with five guest judges,
tested hundreds of products and nominated more than 400
contenders. The winners were selected based on three
criteria: Efficacy, Overall Value, and "That Special Something,"
that indescribable factor that makes a product a favorite.
To further educate its readers about the best of the best, each
winner profile includes tags to identify where the product fits in
the beauty industry-whether it is Byrdie Clean, made with
sustainable packaging, vegan, cruelty-free, Black-, AAPI-, or
Latinx-owned, and/or has a charitable element.
Alongside the product categories are 11 "People" categories,
naming Byrdie's chosen leaders in the beauty space for
2021:
