109 categories mark Byrdie’s most extensive awards to date
Byrdie (www.byrdie.com) announced the winners of the 2022 Byrdie Beauty Awards, or “The Byrdies,” honoring the best in beauty across the Skin, Makeup, Body, Hair, Under $25, and Beauty Pros categories.
Byrdie’s award-winning editors tested, analyzed, and declared winners for an exhaustive list of 109 different beauty categories, all designed to help readers narrow down the absolute best in beauty. Categories include Best Cleansing Balm (Eadem Dew Dream Cleansing Balm); Best Overnight Mask (U Beauty The Barrier Bioactive Treatment); Best Multi-Use Makeup Product (Danessa Myricks Beauty Colorfix Eye, Cheek & Lip Cream Pigment); Best Hair Oil (Squigs Gooseberry Delight Hair Oil) and Best Eyeliner Under $25 (Half Magic Magic Flik Liquid Eyeliner)
After testing hundreds of products, Byrdie’s 10 editors collaborated with six guest beauty expert judges to choose the honorees. Winners were selected based on three criteria: Efficacy, Overall Value, and “That Special Something,” that indescribable factor that makes a product a favorite.
For more details about the best of the best, each winner profile includes tags identifying the product’s additional characteristics, like whether it’s made with sustainable practices; vegan; cruelty-free; Black-, AAPI-, or Latinx-owned; and/or has a charitable element.
The product categories are accompanied by ten categories of Beauty Pros, naming Byrdie’s chosen leaders in the beauty space for 2022:
