Hey, y’all, I’ve got good news: The polls for Cosmopolitan’s 2023 Readers’ Choice Beauty Awards are finally open. That means it’s time for you to give your holy grail beauty products some major love and support in the survey here. By participating in the survey, you’ll be able to cast your vote for your all-time favorite beauty brands, products, and tools across 83 different categories (check ’em out below).
The final list of winning products and brands will be able to proudly display the Cosmopolitan Readers’ Choice Beauty Awards seal, aka your (oh, hiii, beauty-obsessed readers) official stamp of approval. All the details on how to obtain the seal will be available once winners are announced. Now go ahead and let your beauty voice be heard—go vote!
How It Works

- Brag about all your favorites in the comments sections of the survey. And if one of your faves isn’t on list? Don’t worry, you can nominate your own picks in the survey comments sections too.
