The 2013 awards is a review of products that were launched between October 2011 and September 2012.

Genevieve Jiang, Editor of Her World, said: “The Her World Beauty Awards remains as the most significant recognition in the beauty industry, thanks to strong support from readers and advertisers. Not only were we the first magazine to present awards to recognise the best in the beauty industry, we were also the first to let readers vote for their favourite beauty products.

“This year, we had a record number of winners as more innovative products were introduced in the market – think transversal serums and liquid lipsticks. It’s been a truly exciting year for beauty!”

Diana Lee, General Manager, Fashion & Beauty, SPH Magazines, said: “The Her World Beauty Awards has always been a wonderful platform to recognise and support the best in the beauty industry. We congratulate the winning brands and hope they continue to create innovative and effective products that meet the needs of women in Singapore.”
