Cosmetic Executive Women (CEW) celebrated women and achievement at the recent 2022 Women’s Leadership Awards. According to CEW, the program embodies the group's mission to motivate, elevate, and advance female leaders who are shaping the beauty industry. The two-day live and virtual hybrid event recognized and celebrated the recipients of three awards: The new Catalyst for Change Award, which celebrated one woman for moving the industry forward through a social movement; the Achiever Awards, which acknowledged seven of the most accomplished senior-level female executives; and the Social Impact Awards, which honored seven emerging beauty executives who are positively affecting change within their companies and the industry.
