The nominees across Hair, Grooming, Makeup, Photography, and Styling represent the artists who set the visual language of today’s red carpets, editorials, and on-screen storytelling—the creative forces whose work shapes what the world sees, follows, and wears. Three nominees specializing in red carpet and editorial work compete in categories named after the current year’s Lifetime Achievement Award honorees. To ensure a broad and inclusive celebration of skill, artistry, and diversity, the Hollywood Beauty Awards recognize two hairstyling and two makeup categories.
Winners in each nominee category were revealed during the black-tie dinner ceremony at the Taglyan Ballroom in Hollywood, benefitting longtime charity partner Helen Woodward Animal Center.
