The prestigious awards spanned 20 categories, spotlighting excellence within skincare, anti-ageing innovations, makeup, fragrances, and rejuvenating treatments.
The ambience of the Beauty Awards venue was carefully curated.

Guests were invited to take snapshots in various photo spots to commemorate the afternoon.
Attendees were treated to a culinary experience fitting for the elegant occasion.
