South Korea
Scored separatelyKorean wins are counted in their own Korea score, shown alongside the US number on every product. They are kept out of the US consensus because consumer reviews and retail sales data measure something different from editorial testing — but they absolutely count.
Glowpick Awards

Glowpick is a Korean cosmetics-review platform; its awards are decided entirely by consumer reviews — the 2025 edition drew on roughly 450,000 reviews across 237 categories.
Hwahae Beauty Awards
