Hundreds of thousands of votes, heated beauty debates, and whole-hearted campaigning across the nation: thanks to your support, passion and commitment to beauty, the time has finally come to announce the winners of the 2020 MECCA Beauty Election. We know you’re here for one thing—and one thing only—so it’s time for us to cut the waffle, and for you to delve into the very best in beauty, as chosen by you.
And the winners are…
Best Moisturiser
TATCHA Dewy Skin Cream $109 or 4 x $27.25
“The Dewy Skin Cream is incredible for normal to dry skin types. It has an emollient texture that acts as a magnet to lock down makeup you apply on top.”
DANIEL MARTIN, TATCHA GLOBAL DIRECTOR OF ARTISTRY
Best Serum
DRUNK ELEPHANT T.L.C. Framboos™ Glycolic Night Serum $144 or 4 x $36
“This product manages to keep the surface of the skin clear of dead skin cell debris that can lead to congestion and block absorption of moisture, hydration and other actives in a routine.”
TIFFANY MASTERSON, FOUNDER
Best Cleanser
KATE SOMERVILLE ExfoliKate Cleanser $61 or 4 x $15.25
“This is full of papaya, pineapple and pumpkin enzymes that enhance exfoliation without over drying, plus has Glycolic and Lactic Acids to refine the appearance of pores.”
KATE SOMERVILLE, FOUNDER
Best for Acne
MARIO BADESCU Drying Lotion $27 or 4 x $6.75
“There’s a reason why Drying Lotion has been a medicine cabinet staple for over 50 years: it’s the original bi-phase, on-the-spot solution that targets surface blemishes while you sleep.”
MARIO BADESCU TEAM MEMBER
Best Eye Cream
ORIGINS GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream $51 or 4 x $12.75
“This is like an instant shot of espresso for your eyes! It will help fight visible signs of fatigue and soften the look of dark circles and puffiness.”
