Meet the Glamour Beauty and Wellness Awards 2024 panel of experts
The GLAMOUR Beauty & Wellness Power List Awards 2024 celebrates the best-in-class products in your routine – from hair care heroes, wellness superstars and must-have makeup, to the perfumes you can’t stop spraying and the skincare that delivers standout innovation.
It’s only fitting, then, that we enlisted the help of some of the industry’s most influential experts to narrow down the sheer volume of products and tools with laser-like precision.
Covering over 110 categories, the Power List Awards provide a definitive list of the beauty and wellness products that deserve our attention. The GLAMOUR beauty team joined forces with a panel of industry professionals to nominate each and every product on the shortlist (before you got the ultimate say).
This year, the panel features a line-up of in-the-know hair stylists, dermatologists, health experts, makeup artists, manicurists and more, including Zola Ganzorigt – the nail artist behind Hailey Bieber’s ‘glazed doughnut’ mani – and Michelle Humphrey, whose clients include Dua Lipa and Adele.
World-leading hair stylists Sam McKnight, Dionne Smith and Dimitris Giannetos offered their expert haircare knowledge. Pro makeup artists Lisa Eldridge, Harold James, Ash K Holm and Celia Burton recommended the products they couldn’t live without in their kits – and skin specialists Dr Ifeoma Ejikeme, Dr Anjali Mahto and Michaella Bolder helped to decipher the best skincare products out there.
Our favourite fragrance whisperers, Alice Du Parcq and Maiya Nicole, gave us the inside scoop on the new and classic perfumes to have on your radar, while top GP Dr Tosin Sotubo-Ajayi and wellness insider Rhian Stephenson filled us in on the fitness and health heroes we definitely need to know.
