We’re shining the spotlight on an esteemed group of professional beauty experts who went above and beyond in 2022 and continue to soar.
Here at Beautytap, we are incredibly fortunate to collaborate with a diverse and talented community of verified and vetted professional beauty experts who share their detailed, trusted reviews and video testimonials around the coveted brands we have the privilege of partnering with.
With an emphasis on credibility, honesty and rich education, their reviews serve as educational testimonials and allow consumers to gain a much deeper understanding about the products being reviewed and how they will work for their individual hair and skin types.
Many of these passionate professionals regularly participate in Beautytap’s Beauty Expert Program where they attend free year-round Master Classes lead by world-renowned beauty industry experts and brand founders, experience and test out innumerable products, create video testimonials, and write hundreds of in depth, knowledge-based reviews.
We are thrilled to honor a group of exceptional individuals within our community and thank them for their dedication, diligence and artistry.
Without further ado, we present the inaugural Beautytap Beauty Expert Awards…
