The most anticipated beauty award in Japan, the Best Cosmetics Awards for this year are now revealed! The awards are hosted by the Japanese cosmetics website @cosme, which is one of the most influential online beauty communities in the world!

The Best Cosmetics Awards are held twice a year in June (mid-year) and December (year-end), introducing rankings of cosmetics products by category (skin care, makeup, hair care, etc) and item (face wash, sunscreen, mascara, foundation, etc). The rankings are known for being genuine and trustworthy as they are based on real users’ votes. If you are a fan of Japanese beauty and looking for the latest, on-trend products, you should definitely check out this award!
