In addition to unveiling the IT Award winners during the Awards Ceremony of the event, there will also be a special recognition. Ewelina Aiossa, the ambassador of MakeUp in NewYork 2023 and a member of the IT Award jury, will present “The Ambassador’s Favorite” prize. This will be given to her favorite product, selected and tested from among the ten new skincare products that have been submitted for the competition.
