The International Beauty Industry Awards

The International Beauty Industry Awards A Global Spotlight on the visual art being created in the mediums of hair and makeup.

04/27/2026

The best art isn’t just seen… it’s felt.
It lives beneath the surface.
It moves through the body before the mind can name it.

It lingers, it echoes, it is unforgettable...

True artistry doesn’t ask for attention,
it commands presence.
It stirs something deep within us,
something wordless, something real.
This is the kind of work that stays with you.

And this is why we honor beauty Artistry and the Beauty Artisans behind the brush at the IBI Awards.

A global stage where only one thing matters… YOUR art.

What an honor to watch YOU BLOOM! Take a moment to thank yourself for all the seeds you have planned, nourished and planted. This is your friendly reminder to celebrate every part of the seed you once were and the glorious plant you have become. You are inspiring those around you with each bloom that you dare to risk sharing with the world. Keep going! Your blossoms give permission and courage to all who are lucky enough to get to watch you in full bloom.

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." -- Anais Nin

On Blossoming: In order to achieve any growth in our lives we must first tend to our soil, choose and plant the seeds and then begin the process of nourishing and caring for the future sprouts that will eventually come from our love and labor. After the sprout has broken through the cold dark earth–seemingly against all odds, it still needs courage and of course sustenance to go from a tiny wobbly sprout to a glorious blooming plant.

You did that. 👏👏👏🙌✨
Keep blooming, what you are growing is beautiful and the world needs to be transformed by the beauty you bravely share.

Do whatever it takes to make your mark. The thrill of creation. The indescribable feeling of watching your vision come to life. Beauty Art is about making a bride feel the most beautiful she has ever felt, giving the hair cut or style that boosts confidence on the day of that important job interview, creating the makeup or hair design that makes the movie become real to the audience watching, or creating the color that allows someone to express themselves fully...Beauty art is visual poetry in action, brought to life by Hair and Makeup Artisans every day all over the world.

Is Beauty art getting the recognition it really deserves? We don't think so. That's why The International Beauty Industry Awards were founded in 2018, to celebrate the incredible Artistry being created and to bring awareness by shining a spotlight on the diverse and multifaceted industry we are so proud to be a part of.

Only 30 days left to share your Artistry with the world.

This is your moment, YOUR vision, YOUR craft, YOUR creations on a GLOBAL STAGE LIKE NO OTHER.

Link in BIO to enter YOUR Artistry into The 2025 IBI Awards and become part of the legacy.

Let your work speak for itself.
We're listening.

The world is watching.
