Say hello to the Who What Wear 100, Who What Wear’s inaugural beauty awards. Our editors know the beauty market is oversaturated—that’s why our debut awards will be kept to a tight edit. One hundred products, one premier winner per category across body, makeup, skincare, fragrance, hair, tools, and nails. Alongside the top experts in the beauty space, the Who What Wear beauty team editors will personally vet hundreds of items to land on the single item in each category that will be crowned as the best-in-class product.
We’re providing the opportunity for brands big and small to enter into a number of categories, from innovations redefining the industry to beloved hero products. This prestigious list will be crafted by an esteemed and trusted panel of editors and experts, including dermatologists, makeup and nail artists, hairstylists, cosmetic chemists, and celebrity aestheticians—all with the aim to showcase the brands and products that we believe are truly exceptional.
We are currently accepting submissions for our 2024 Who What Wear 100 Beauty Awards. Keep reading for everything you need to know to be considered by our editors for the final, hyper-curated list.
