Shopee Beauty Fair Brings Brands and Beautiful Women Together!

Empowering women needs a lot of work, and to attain beauty and confidence goals, it cannot be handled by one. Thus a partnership must be made that brings the very best in taking care of different kinds of beauty.

That is why Shopee has partnered with leading beauty brands like Maybelline and Palmolive to Celebrate Women Empowerment. In a special event that brings the good news of taking care of oneself and enhance the beauty inside and out.

They brought in five women’s rights advocates in an event that includes 2013 Miss World, Megan Young, advocacy ambassador KC Concepcion and beauty, make up, and blogger-influencers Martha Jante, Kristine Roces and Helen Payawal. Shopee is also celebrating Beauty week with discounted items specifically made for products made for women.

Jane Lim, Director of Shopee Philippines, said, “Shopee’s Beauty Fair is a celebration of women and their success, and we are proud to partner Maybelline and Palmolive for this event - both leading beauty brands who share the same belief that women should be celebrated as they are. Beauty Fair was conceptualised as part of Shopee’s continued commitment to empowering Filipina across the country. We hope  that this serves as an inspirational platform for more women to take a step forward towards achieving their goals.”

2013 Miss World Megan Young on empowerment and standing up for yourself

As a speaker at the event, Young shared about her journey to being crowned 2013 Miss World, and how the title has since placed her in a position to inspire young women around her.

“Joining Miss World 5 years ago really took me out of my comfort zone and challenged me to be more confident. After being crowned, I realised I was in a position where I had the power to influence young women, and I wanted to do my part to encourage them to stand up for themselves. I used to just shrug off people who say insensitive or hurtful comments, but now call them out and tell them they’re wrong, and I encourage all women to not be afraid to do the same,” shared Young.

Young’s success in her acting career is also a reflection of her commitment to empowering women, choosing only to act in powerful female roles. She currently stars in the drama,The Step Daughters, where she plays a young, fearless woman named Mayumi who changes her destiny by being tenacious and true to herself.
