Everything That Went Down at the BAZAAR Beauty Experience

A hub for every beauty maven.

Whether you’re a beauty enthusiast or a trendsetter in the beauty industry, the BAZAAR Beauty Experience is an exclusive three-day event that caters to your interests. For the first time ever, we have brought the magic of our annual Beauty Awards offline—this time, in the vibrant shopping destination in the heart of KL, The Exchange TRX.

From 26 to 28 July 2024, the BAZAAR Beauty Experience celebrated diversity in beauty. We showcased this year’s award-winning products, inviting everyone to try, explore, and fall in love with over 100 beauty must-haves. From skincare and makeup to body and fragrances, we have something for every beauty lover.

And, of course, it wouldn’t be a celebration without a soiree.

Here’s what you missed from the BAZAAR Beauty Experience:

To kickstart our BAZAAR Beauty Experience, the BAZAAR team hosted its grand opening surrounded by our Friends of BAZAAR and esteemed clients. With an aura that exudes poise, grace and confidence, notable names like Mandy Gioh, Bella Kuan, Nelissa Hilman, Han Pin, and more were dressed to the nines for the party.

Before entering the beauty realm, guests would jot down their answers to the million-dollar question – “What Makes You Beautiful?”

The most popular answers include “My family”, “Smiling Everyday”, and “Confidence”.

A soiree isn’t complete without refreshments and light bites, and Café Kitsuné provided everything we needed and more. From sip-worthy coffee to delicious sandwiches, every bite was an indulgent experience.

As a sweet surprise, we invited Malaysian singer Yazmin Aziz to perform a rendition of Miley Cyrus ‘Flowers,’ which got the crowd singing along and dancing.

Later, we had our Creative Director Aziz Draim and Beauty Director Alisha Azuddin to share an insightful speech on the beauty of our 21st Anniversary celebration along with the BAZAAR Beauty Experience.

The BAZAAR Beauty Experience was not just about the products but also about the joy of seeing beauty mavens immerse themselves in the experience.

We had the pleasure of speaking with Confidence Cosmetics founder and actress Sharifah Aryana, who shared her excitement: “I can’t believe this is Harper’s BAZAAR’s first time doing this. It was such a good event, and I believe next year will have to be bigger and better!”

Our weekends were filled with informative beauty masterclasses hosted by YSL Beauty and Lancome. Mei Ling, Education Manager at YSL Beauty, demonstrated a seamless way of setting the perfect makeup base. At Lancome, celebrity makeup artist and 2024 Beauty Awards judge Ummi Nasir shared her tips and tricks for achieving the everyday glow. The excitement continued with the special appearance of celebrity makeup artist Shiyo Joo, who showcased the do’s and don’ts using award-winning products from the BAZAAR Beauty Experience.
