The opportunity to celebrate hundreds of innovative products and their creators who have been named finalists for this year’s Beauty Creators Awards?

Triple check.

On September 15, CEW will unveil all 269 finalists across 33 categories at its first-ever Beauty Bazaar, an in-person event to be held at Chelsea Industrial in NYC that looks to be a shining element of this year’s Beauty Creators Awards [BCA] program.

This year BCA received more than 1,000 product entries. Finalists were selected by CEW’s 2022 BCA Ambassadors, a select group of in-the-know beauty experts, influencers, and executives who tapped into their product, trend and R&D knowledge to create an exclusive and exciting group of product finalists.

Bazaar attendees will be encouraged to not only learn and interact with each category’s eight finalists, but also to vote on-site for each category’s ultimate winner. To facilitate voting, the Bazaar will be outfitted with QR codes that will route voters to product information, and then lock in their digital votes in an innovative, interactive experience. The 2022 Beauty Creators Awards Winners will be announced on November 11, 2022 at the Ziegfeld Ballroom.

Acknowledging that the extremely social beauty industry has missed connecting IRL more than anything, the Bazaar will feature a chic and spacious networking lounge presented by Amazon Premium Beauty, in addition to many gathering spots throughout the event’s industrial setting. While networking, guests can enjoy elevated immersive beauty experiences, including express hairstyling by Dyson; customized skin care regimens with Drunk Elephant, Inkbox temporary tattoos, next-gen skin diagnostics at CVS’s mini-shop, and body art courtesy of BodyMark. Interactive photo-moments with J&J, and Cheddar TV. Attendees can also enjoy a variety of spa services courtesy of Spa Chicks on the Go, including makeup touch-ups, nail designs, shoulder massages, and more.

Every attendee will leave with a deluxe gift bag packed with nearly 40 premium-sized samples and/or full-size products supplied by hundreds of this year’s brand entrants—distributed in the Beauty Wonderland, created by RPG, and fulfilled by PIMS.

The Bazaar will offer two sessions to accommodate all schedules and will limit attendance to 600 people per session. The first session runs from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., and the second from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. For ticket pricing and session details, visit CEW.org.
