British Vogue has announced that entries are now open for the Vogue Beauty Awards, recognising the best new launches for 2026, as well as its favourite product of all time.

Every year, the Vogue Beauty Awards celebrate the very best-in-class launches. These are the products, innovations, formulations, future classics and heroes that not only move beauty forward, but stand the test of time. Spanning skincare, haircare, fragrance, make-up and wellness, the awards represent the definitive edit from the beauty team. Each product is rigorously considered, expertly judged and ultimately worthy of British Vogue’s seal of approval.

For 2026, the year’s most exceptional new launches (including reformulations) will be recognised, alongside the ultimate all-time favourites. Brands are invited to submit their products for consideration across eight categories, which will be judged by the British Vogue beauty team, led by Beauty & Wellness Director Funmi Fetto.

The Beauty Award categories for 2026 are:

• Best in Skin - Across all facial skin products, including but not limited to moisturisers, serums, oils, cleansers, toners, masks, mists and devices.
• Best in SPF - Covering all types of formulation and weather conditions.
• Best in Body - Covering all types of body products, including but not limited to moisturisers, shower gels, bath products, soaps, toners, oils, hair removal, sprays and devices.
