The 2010 CEW Beauty Award Winners.

/

One of my favorite beauty events of the year happened on Friday in New York City. It was the annual CEW Beauty Awards luncheon where the beauty industry celebrated its finest. Overall, there were 31 winning products -- covering make-up, hair care, sun care, and more.

The CEW Beauty Awards is like the Oscars in the beauty world. You see, it is the only awards program where the winners are determined exclusively by beauty insiders — more than 3,600 professionals working in beauty, cosmetics, fragrance, and related industries. It truly is the highest honor a beauty product can be awarded.

Check out the list of winners from the 500 entries, with 155 finalists.

The CEW Beauty Award Finalists.

/

Every year, the best in the beauty business (collectively CEW - Cosmetic Executive Women) get together to review, test and vote on their favorite beauty products submitted by brands. The winner will receive the special CEW Award Winner seal. I equate these awards to the Academy Awards - except, this is just for beauty.

Earlier this month, the annual product demonstration was held and the finalists have been chosen.  Take a look at the list to see if your favorites are listed. I've starred my favorites in each category and will be placing my vote.
