The winners of HG’s Beauty Crush: Readers’ Choice Awards 2018, as voted by you

Here at HelloGiggles, we’re constantly testing beauty products—so much, in fact, that we’ll forget about the acne patch stuck on our chins or the 25 or so lipstick swatches on our forearms (a very bad idea when we’re wearing white). And while we love sharing our expertise with you, our readers, we want to know what you love, too. That’s why we decided to launch the Readers’ Choice version of our Beauty Crush Awards. HG readers know their stuff when it comes to makeup and skin care finds, so we turned to you for the best of the best in all things beauty.

Our readers voted in 29 different categories, ranging from best face moisturizer to best rising beauty brand. While some of your winners fell in line with our picks, others caught us by surprise—in a good way. You taught us that you love tried-and-true classics as much as cult favorites, and that cost, whether low or high, doesn’t really matter if the product is the bombdotcom.

Thank YOU for taking the time to share your beauty crushes with us. The results are now in. Below, your picks for the 2018 Beauty Crush Awards: Readers’ Choice.

Best Lipstick: Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick. This cruelty-free, rich, moisturizing lipstick comes in an array of shades so there’s something for everyone. No wonder you voted Amuse Bouche as the queen of lip color.

Best Lip Balm: Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm. Nothing beats a classic like Burt’s Bees. You love this affordable drugstore fave when it comes to keeping your lips soft and makeout-ready.

Best Concealer: Tarte Cosmetics Shape Tape. We turn to Shape Tape when we want to erase all our bad choices from the night before (aka staying up all night binge-watching The Haunting of Hill House), and it looks like you do, too.

Best Powder: Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder. This is what you use to set your #flawless beat face. Swoon.
