CEW is a British not-for-profit professional organization for the beauty industry, with over 1,000 members in the UK. The organization just revealed the winners of its latest beauty awards.

CEW's members voted for the winners of the awards, which are sponsored by Marks & Spencer and were announced at the London Hilton on Park Lane hotel. It's the 11th year that the award has been held, and 350 brands competed in 27 categories.

British brands did well this year, making up over 70% of the winners. They included make-up artist Charlotte Tilbury's brand, which was the first ever to take home four awards.
