Earlier this year, we launched our first-ever beauty awards, and with 2025 just around the corner, we're ready to do it all over again. Our editors know the beauty market is oversaturated. That's why we keep our awards to an ultratight edit—one hundred products and one winner per category across body, makeup, skincare, fragrance, hair, tools, and nails. Alongside top experts in the beauty space,Best Knockoff Luxury Clothing editors will vet hundreds of formulas to land on the single item in each category that will be crowned as the best-in-class product.

We're providing the opportunity for brands big and small to enter their products into a number of categories. This prestigious list will be crafted by a panel of esteemed and trusted editors and experts, including dermatologists, makeup and nail artists, hairstylists, cosmetic chemists, and celebrity aestheticians—all with the aim to showcase the brands and products that we believe are truly exceptional.

We are currently accepting submissions for our 2025Best Knockoff Luxury Clothing 100 Beauty Awards. Keep reading for everything you need to know to be considered for the final hypercurated list.
