This year, I had the immense honour of being part of the judging panel for the Cosmoprof Asia and Cosmopack Asia Awards 2024, a project curated by Beautystreams, held at the iconic Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre. It was an unforgettable experience to work alongside a distinguished group of global industry leaders and innovators. Together, we evaluated some of the most creative and cutting-edge products shaping the future of beauty.

As a judge, I had the privilege of exploring each submission in detail. From cutting-edge pimple patches to sustainable sanitary napkins, and revolutionary air-fixing mascaras to glow-enhancing radiance-boosting serums, the awards truly showcased the pinnacle of beauty innovation. This year’s winners pushed the boundaries of creativity and technology, offering solutions that cater to the evolving needs of modern consumers.

Whether it was the soft-focus matte perfection of a liquid powder foundation or the sleek functionality of an eco-friendly jar, the awards celebrated products that seamlessly blended style, science, and sustainability. From hair care to skincare and personal care, the winning innovations reflected the global beauty industry’s dedication to meeting diverse consumer demands with ingenuity and flair.

With 421 submissions from across the globe, narrowed down to four nominees in each of the 11 categories, the competition was fierce. Selecting the winners was no easy task, but I was truly inspired by the passion and ingenuity that went into every entry.

I was fortunate to collaborate with an extraordinary panel of judges, including:

  • Mohamad Alhussein, Founder and CEO – Jully France Paris (Cyprus)
  • Brooke Bergé, Division Manager Beauty Distribution – Ali Bin Ali Holding (Qatar)
  • Claudia Campani, Product Development Packaging & Special Projects Lead, MECCA-Maginations (Australia)
  • Cathy Chen, DMI VP China & North Asia – L’Oréal (China)
  • Sammi Dung Dao Thuy, Chairwoman – TDGroup (Vietnam)

  • Amanda Lin, Editor – CosmeticDesign-Asia (Singapore)
  • Abdul Majid Madi, CEO – District General Trading Company WLL (Kuwait)
  • Sophia Nee, Brand Project Director – Marie Dalgar (China)

  • Ka Yan Tsang, Purchasing Division Manager – AVANT & FLÂNERIE SKINCARE (UK)
  • Ng Wee Tiong, Group Director, Head of Physical Supply – Do Day Dream Co Ltd (Thailand)

One of the highlights of my experience was presenting the Cosmopack Asia Award for Make-Up Formula to B. Kolormakeup & Skincare Spa (see picture above) for their remarkable product, the Mattifix Over and Under Liquid Powder. This innovative formula combines a creamy texture with a velvety matte finish and features a unique encapsulated botanical complex that offers anti-inflammatory and protective benefits. Its cutting-edge pigments blend seamlessly with the skin, creating a soft-focus effect that minimises imperfections while enhancing natural beauty with a light veil of colour.

It was an absolute privilege to present this award and celebrate the exceptional creativity and craftsmanship behind this product. The moment reaffirmed my admiration for the incredible talent and innovation thriving within the beauty industry.

As the winners prepare to showcase their achievements at Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna 2025, I feel deeply honoured to have been part of this prestigious event. This experience has left me inspired, humbled, and more passionate than ever about the future of beauty.
