After months of swatching, spritzing and spraying, PEOPLE and TODAY are unveiling the greatest of the latest drugstore beauty launches in the fifth annual Beauty Awards. Led by PEOPLE style and beauty director Andrea Lavinthal and TODAY contributor Jill Martin — our team of editors tested more than 600 drugstore beauty products to find the best new affordable finds in the body, hair, makeup, and skincare aisles, which they reveal on Friday during TODAY with Hoda & Jenna cohosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager.

With 50 budget-friendly winners across all categories, 11 of the top prizes have been awarded to game changing hair innovations, from a hairspray powered by air to a styler that speeds up blow dry time. The best part: these editor-approved winners can be shopped at your local drugstore (and some are at Amazon.com!) for less than $20 each — meaning you can achieve a salon-worthy look without the price tag.
