The World Beauty Awards is the network's programme for the beauty industry, judged against published criteria by an independent jury. The supplied award list gives no founding year or edition count, and its listed domain was unavailable at the time of writing — both on this site's data-gaps page.
Hong Kong has been Asia's beauty shop window for decades: the beauty retail chains and department-store halls, the Korean and Japanese importers, the cross-border e-commerce trade into the Greater Bay Area, home-grown skincare and grooming brands, a salon trade in every vertical mall and an aesthetics sector under Department of Health rules. The 75 categories cover brands, retailers, salons, clinics and beauty technology.
Who should participate
Eligible nominees are beauty businesses of every type:
- Cosmetics, skincare and haircare brands
- Beauty salons, makeup studios and nail studios
- Aesthetic clinics and beauty-clinic groups
- Organic, natural and clean-beauty product companies
- Fragrance and personal-care brands
