'Oscars' Of The Beauty Product Industry Announce 2019 Winners
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) - With new beauty products coming out everyday in a multi-billion dollar industry, how do you choose?
The answer lies in the best beauty products picked during an elite competition in Midtown Manhattan, reports CBS2's Cindy Hsu.
The Cosmetic Executive Women Beauty Awards, or CEW, are considered to be the "Oscars" of the beauty industry.
There are 1,000 products competing in 46 different categories, everything from hair to make up to wellness. Beauty products are an $86 billion industry and growing.
CEW is a non-profit trade organization made up of more than 10,000 beauty professionals. The members vote for the awards, looking for the most innovative and creative beauty products at all prices.
"We go from masks, things that are $2.99 all the way up to prestige and luxury $300 and up," said Andrea Nagel of Cosmetic Executive Women.
