Meet your Head Judge for the 2026 Platinum Beauty Awards!
Our Beauty Editor @dottiemakeup has gathered her panel of expert judges to get testing underway in this year's Beauty Awards 💄
She says, "It is a great honour to be Head Judge for the third year running on the 2026 Platinum Beauty Awards. I can’t wait to test the performance of the products and identify those that really deliver.
"I believe women want honest, truthful, unbiased feedback and I - alongside my hand picked panel of experts - will deliver just that. I am also hoping to discover some new favourites to add to my personal beauty routine!"
Keep an eye out to meet the expert judges as we head towards the deadline - and head to the link in bio to enter by April 24th!

📸 Lights, camera, action! What a fab day it was on our @platinummaguk shoot with @samanthabondofficial - and the sun was indeed shining! 🌞
Sam confessed to not really liking having per picture taken but the incredible David Venni worked his magic and got some cracking shots, and with hair and make-up by @dottiemakeup and styling from @kate_barbour Sam looked incredible. 🤩
Find the interview in the June issue of Platinum magazine, which is out now. Sam talks about her latest series of The Marlow Murder Club plus meeting Queen Camilla and making her laugh with a naughty swear word! 🙊
🎥 Sam, who many of us know as Miss Moneypenny from the Pierce Brosnan-era Bond films and also as Lady Rosamond Painswick in Downton Abbey, shares how her career has flourished in midlife and how she “can’t imagine stopping”.
