Beauty's biggest night, the Nykaa Femina Beauty Awards (NFBA) took place last month at The St. Regis Mumbai where distinguished guests saw the best products take home the winning trophy and some of our favourite Bollywood celebrities were honoured.

The journey to the finale was well worth the wait. We had the very tough task of rounding up some of the best beauty products to offer and whittling them down to five. Then, we took them to our dear readers and opened the voting to you all, where we got a tremendous response. Post that our jury took over. Our esteemed panel with the likes of actor Malaika Arora, celebrity dermatologist Dr Jaishree Sharad, celebrity makeup artist Sandhya Shekar, content creator Juhi Godambe Jain, LGBTQIA+ icon Sushant Divgikr aka Rani KoHEnur, founder and CEO of Nykaa Falguni Nayar, and Editor-in-Chief of Femina Ambika Muttoo.

This year, the jury was joined by an influencer panel that was also from Mumbai and Delhi.
