Over 15,000 votes were cast for the products by beautyheaven members.

Commenting on this year’s awards, beautyheaven’s general manager Amber Robinson said: “More than ever, this year’s awards show that Australian women are savvy consumers who seek out the best-performing products in each category when making beauty purchases, and aren’t afraid to experiment with new products and brands. Spanning multiple price categories, the winners showcase fantastic product innovation from M.A.C’s clever double wand mascara to skin serums featuring the latest potent ingredients and formulations.”
