The month of June brings all sorts of celebrations—from massive Pride Marches to highlighting meaningful and empowering stories of expression and individuality. SM Beauty, the country’s leading beauty retailer, understands that Pride is colorful and unique to every person, and is shining a light on the importance of support, love and equality.
On June 10, 2023, SM Beauty launched its Create Beauty With Pride campaign at the SM Mega Fashion Hall, giving guests and attendees a special opportunity to celebrate their individuality and to express how they feel and want to be seen. SM Beauty chooses to celebrate the diversity in beauty. And with its extensive range of cosmetics and hair products, the retailer is ready to cater to diverse needs and preferences, whether exploring or established.
“At SM Beauty, everyone can create beauty and express themselves however they want to. We empower Filipinos to really celebrate themselves by providing them with a wide range of beauty products and tools to feel confident and beautiful,” says Sharon Decapia, SAVP for Marketing of Watsons and SM Beauty.
Armed with products that everyone needs to fully embrace who they are, SM Beauty invites everyone to create beauty without boundaries.
The Create Beauty with Pride launch started with a Beauty Parade, followed by an opening number by Femme MNL. Meanwhile, an advocacy talk from Yanyan Araña, Program Manager of Love Yourself, reminded people the importance of proper self-expression, getting the right support, and finding self-confidence.
Those in attendance at the event were able to join different activities highlighting this year’s thrust. A Beauty Lounge was available for attendees to try out the different SM Beauty products, as well as a Beauty Vendo Machine where SMAC members could try their luck and score product samples!
The festivities concluded with a performance from Drag Race Philippines’ Season 1 queens, Precious Paula Nicole and Brigiding dancing and lip syncing to “This is Me” which had all SM Beauty guests dancing and singing along!
