The winners were chosen on a problem-solution bases, where readers wrote in their biggest beauty problems, and the experts chose the categories and winners accordingly:

Obviously I’m aware that the magazine may include some prticular brands rather than others because of their advertisers, but I’ve highlighted the winners that I agree with in bold - I haven’t tried most of these products, so I can’t comment on those I don’t know!

Do you agree with these winners?
