The IBI Awards: Breaking The Boundaries Of Beauty Artistry

In beauty and fashion, trends evolve at the blink of an eye, but one organization is setting new trends and elevating the industry standards through their hair and makeup artistry competition. The International Beauty Industry Awards (IBI Awards), founded in 2018 by Dianna Hampton, has emerged as the pinnacle of Beauty competitions, celebrating the true artists shaping the beauty landscape. Many of the winners have become the most renowned artisans in the beauty industry and are changing the category of beauty as we know it. However, the IBI Awards are not just a competition, but a movement to cultivate a community of the most talented beauty artisans who can compete fairly and online from anywhere in the world.
