Each year the Cosmetic Executive Women (CEW), a non-profit organisation of members from across the beauty industry, puts hundreds of beauty products to the test and selects the top items in a number of categories. The annual awards are independent, and since the voters are all experts in the beauty field, you can look to the list of award-winners as a trustworthy source whether you’re seeking out a new body scrub, perfume or eye cream.
So without further ado, your CEW (UK) 2012 Beauty Award winners are...
