About Makeup Awards
Makeup awards honour the artists, educators, salons and products that shape how the world wears makeup. Some celebrate artistry on screen and stage, some recognise the best new products, and others crown the stars of a whole regional industry.
Screen work takes the spotlight at the MUAHS Guild Awards at The Westin Bonaventure in Los Angeles each February. Product focused awards include the CEW UK Beauty Awards at the Business Design Centre in London in March and the Pure Beauty Awards, usually held in London each October. Before 2026 closes, the BEAUTY FORUM Stars Award is presented in Munich, the Contessa Awards celebrate Canadian talent in Toronto and The Beauty Awards come to London in late November. In 2027, PBHJ Beauty, Hair and Spa Awards are in Dublin in April, NAHA is in Orlando in June and the AHIA Creative Awards are in Sydney at the end of June, while Queen's Night UK and Ireland brings awards to Coventry in October. The Global Makeup Awards and the International Beauty Industry Awards are open to entries online.

How makeup awards work
Artist awards usually ask for photographs or a portfolio of recent work, while product awards are entered by brands and judged by panels or testers. Entry windows often close months before the ceremony, so mark the deadlines early.
Choosing your awards
- Screen and stage: the MUAHS Guild Awards celebrate film, television and live performance makeup.
- Products and brands: the CEW UK Beauty Awards and Pure Beauty Awards recognise launches and ranges.
- Artistry: NAHA, the Contessa Awards and the AHIA Creative Awards include creative and photographic categories.
- Online: global online awards let artists anywhere put their work forward.
On the night
Ceremonies are usually ticketed and often formal. Book a hotel close to the venue, and plan your own makeup and outfit as carefully as your entry, as the photographs will be shared widely.
