Introducing the Best Hair & Beauty Creation Award at The IMAGE Business of Beauty Awards 2023


by Holly O'Neill
13th Nov 2023

We called on all hair, make-up and beauty creatives to show us their Rio Carnival-inspired work and win the title of Ireland’s Best Hair & Beauty Creative 2023! Drum roll please...

We have a new category for the 2023 IMAGE Business of Beauty Awards and it’s one focused entirely on creativity and interpretation of Rio’s colourful, energetic, super-extra Carnival – which is also the inspiration behind this year’s Awards night on Sunday, November 19.

We asked you to show us what you can do in hair, make-up, nails, lashes, brows, to let your imagination and creativity run riot, push your boundaries, experiment with colours, textures and shapes and bring it all together in one great image, video or reel to be awarded our inaugural winner of Ireland’s Best Hair & Beauty Creative. Drum roll please for our incredible shortlist…

Congratulations to @blendsbybowes and @grahamooo_hairstylist, @evelinasilova_makeup and Katie at @genevieve_beauty! The winner will be announced at the awards on Sunday November 19, see you then!
