NewBeauty magazine has revealed its 11th annual beauty awards with over 200 winners.
This year's awards encompass beauty products, treatments, breakthroughs and innovations.
NewBeauty editors tested and vetted nearly 10,000 products.
"Our testing process looked a little different as the pandemic forced our homes to become our beauty closets -- picture products spilling onto every visible surface like a Sephora display (but not nearly as neat)," NewBeauty senior editor-at-large Sarah Eggenberger shared in a statement.
To meet this year's criteria, winners had to solve some of beauty's biggest problems while also being the best at what they do. Before-and-after images, product labels, science, ingredients and more were all considered when testing products.
Selected products also went through one more round of review by a pro panel of 30 board-certified plastic surgeons and dermatologists.
"Our winners are a mix of old and new -- the holy grails and the latest launches and new categories that represent the current times," said Eggenberger.
Below is a sampling of products from the 2021 NewBeauty award-winners' list,
