About the awards:

The Live That Glow Independent Beauty Awards 2025 aim to cut through the beauty noise.

Here’s how the awards are different:

  1. They are completely free to enter and to license our winners’ and shortlist logos.  That is because we want to shine a light on the best of the best products, regardless of a brand’s marketing budget.
  2. Our list of categories has been informed by reader polling which told us exactly what issues actually matter most to beauty fans. The only exceptions are two categories we genuinely felt were important in a wider sense. These are our “Best Accessible Product Award” for the product doing the most to make the lives of less able-bodied beauty users easier, and our “Biggest Beauty Disruptor 2025 Award” for the brand or individual doing the most to make the beauty space fairer or greener.
  3. We hve made our entire process, from our timeline to our judges and our criteria, completely transparent, so that readers can feel more involved than ever. You can find the full information at livethatglow.com/live-that-glow-independent-beauty-awards-2025/.
