The Best Of 'Allure''s Best Of Beauty

by Tyler Atwood

September is not only significant for students heading back to school and style bloggers attending Fashion Week; the month also marks the much-anticipated annual Allure Best Of Beauty Awards, when editors of the publication and reader votes demonstrate which products have stolen their hearts — and drained their savings accounts.

Some brands, such as L'Oreal, Maybelline, and Clinique, consistently top the charts with their beloved glosses, scrubs, and moisturizers, while more under-the-radar companies like RMS Beauty sneak in unexpectedly to claim their rightful prize. Whatever your autumnal beauty needs, Allure's roundup of 260 products has your face, body, nails, hair, and lips literally and figuratively covered. Moreover, each award-winning product can be trusted in its efficacy rating thanks to verification of readers and industry experts alike. The publication has allowed for further reader customization by creating a quiz where participants can discover their Allure "Beauty Editor Twin" — and zero in on their ideal product — by answering five simple questions.

Even consumers with reactive skin or who wish to refrain from utilizing harsh chemical ingredient-laden items are in luck; the publication has dedicated two categories to fragile skin and organic products, respectively. From mascara to masks, read on for my favorite picks from the Allure Best Of Beauty Awards 2015 (although I highly recommend you check out the whole thing, too).
