NEW YORK, Sept. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The leadership of the beauty industry will join Cosmetic Executive Women on Friday, September 21 to celebrate the accomplishments of six women and one man with the 2018 CEW Achiever Awards.

Now in its 43^rd year, the Awards honor women who have reached the highest levels of the beauty industry. They also serve as inspiration to CEW's now 10,000-plus members worldwide.

The 2018 Achiever Award honorees are:
