Over 40 countries are regularly represented on the annual list. That number seems to go up every year as the public participation grows and expands. This diversity relies heavily on suggestions from almost every corner of the globe. When the list first began in the early 1990’s, it was comprised mostly of American, British and Australian stars. Only the most famous international cross-over stars would have been recognizable enough to merit consideration. However, as the years have passed, The Lists have been heavily influenced by the rise of international modeling, worldwide cinema, K-Pop, Bollywood, global television, internet personalities etc. It is now the most diverse and inclusive beauty list you will ever find.
