Glowpick Beauty Awards 2022
Glowpick is one of the most popular and highly regarded review platforms for beauty lovers in Korea and abroad. Their annual awards celebrate the most loved beauty products in Korea and last month, they finally announced the final results of the Glowpick Beauty Awards 2022.
[Update: The post on the Glowpick Beauty Awards 2023 is now online]
Glowpick Beauty Awards 2022
The Glowpick Beauty Awards take place twice during the year and cover the top trends of the years and highest ranked products in skincare, make-up, fragrance and even baby products.
Glowpick is renowned for filtering reviews to ensure they’re genuine, combatting generic and unfounded reviews about products that don’t specify what exactly makes a lotion, blush or cream stand out from the crowd. This has lead the Glowpick Awards to become one of the most trusted beauty award programmes out there, putting the purchasers at the heart of recognising real beauty winners by simply awarding the products which have the best ratings.
This year’s winning products have been selected based on data collected from 500,000 reviews written on the app between 1 December 2021, and 30 November 2022.
