The ELLE Beauty Awards are just around the corner, and we are excited. In the works is a bustling night filled with glamour, glitterati and beauty. Slated to take place on 16th November 2022 at St Regis, the ELLE Beauty Awards 2022 bring together the finest names in the industry all under one roof. Your favourite celebrity and beauty experts are all set to define the best in beauty.
This year, our esteemed jury was welcomed at Club Jolie’s and were given the most herculean of all tasks. Swatching, trying, removing- they were given a barrage of beauty products ranging from cleansers to serums along with blushes and hair masks. They had to reach a unified conclusion about the best of the lot. The pressure was intense. Our jury members spent the day browsing through products, trying, testing and checking out the many products, to give us an insight into what’s buzzing in the world of beauty.
While Dr. Madhuri Agarwal enjoyed high-performance products that were also cult favourites, Arti Nayar gravitated towards some multi-tasking ones. Amit Thakur and Namrata Purohit seemed to foster a soft spot for no-fuss products with potent ingredients. Kresha Bajaj loved her luxe beauty go-tos with a dash of versatility.
Here’s a little bit about our jury members who picked the best of the best for you

Pilates is never a bad idea and Namrata Purohit certainly made us fall head over heels in love with it.

Constantly motivating her audience to squeeze in an easy workout throughout their day, Namrata’s fitness content will definitely have you burning calories. However, Namrata also appears to be quite the hairstyle aficionado as she quickly showed us the best ways to use a claw clip.
