GLAMOUR Beauty Power List Awards 2023 Meet the panel of experts behind the honourworthy nominations.

The GLAMOUR Beauty Power List Awards 2023 celebrate best-in-class beauty – from skincare superstars, must-have makeup and high performance haircare, to the blockbuster perfumes you can’t stop spritzing and the brands you feel are trailblazers when it comes to standout innovation and sustainability initiatives.

So it's only fitting that we enlisted the help of the industry's most influential experts to narrow down the sheer volume of products and tools with laser-like precision.

Boasting over 101 categories, the Awards provide a definitive list of the beauty products and brands you swear by. A panel of professionals – alongside the GLAMOUR beauty team – nominated each and every one for the shortlist.

This year, the panel featured a host of in-the-know hair stylists, dermatologists, manicurists and makeup pros, including Zola Ganzorigt, the nail artist behind Hailey Bieber's infamous glazed donut mani, Beyoncé's makeup artist Sir John and TikTok star Abby Roberts. Hair stylists Charlotte Mensah and Dimitris Giannetos offered their hair care knowledge, while skin specialists, such as Dr Ifeoma Ejikeme and Dr Anjali Mahto, helped to decipher the best skincare products out there.
