The moment we have all been waiting for has finally arrived! The 2024 Allure Best of Beauty Awards have been officially announced. After months of reviewing thousands of products, the staff at Allure has revealed which products reign supreme in 14 beauty categories. And these winners are worth all the hype.
Since 1996, the magazine has been awarding the famous seal of approval. And while there are thousands of products on the market, whether it’s hair, makeup or skin care, only a select few have received this label over the years.
Allure Editor-in-Chief Jessica Cruel stopped by with Hoda and Jenna today to share some of her top picks from the 2024 winners. Below are some of the winners from our list, from melting cleansing pads to silky hair serums. All of these are less than $15.
