The Big Beauty Bash went full-on pop this year with a music-awards–themed celebration—where every corner was made for the spotlight, every moment felt like a scene, and every guest stepped into their star era.
Now in its fifth year, The Beauty Edit marked a major milestone with a show that celebrated beauty loud, proud, and unapologetically—exactly how an awards night should. Held at Rockstar Greenhills, the event transformed the entire venue into a beauty-meets-music playground, inviting guests to discover the industry’s chart-toppers with pure pop-star flair. Even the KTV rooms were reimagined into pop concert stations, leading up to the main event: a live awarding ceremony inside the Concert Hall.
It was a day pulsing with beauty’s fun, fearless, ever-evolving energy—brought to life by a community that’s been there since day one, plus plenty of fresh faces. Here’s your backstage pass to everything that went down.
Welcome to The Beauty Edit Pop Awards 2025
Inspired by the iconic music award shows of the ’90s and 2000s, this year’s celebration gave beauty the stage it deserved. From backstage access to chic VIP lounges, every spot was thoughtfully curated to capture peak pop awards energy—creating an experience that was immersive, nostalgic, and truly unforgettable.
Right after registration, guests received their wristband and ticket—an instant kickstart to their awards show journey. The wristband served as their official event marker, while the ticket guided them through the space, ensuring every room was explored and every moment experienced by all.
The Pre-Show Journey
As the countdown to the show began, guests stepped into a full artist’s routine, thanks to the event’s headlining partner brands.
At the Reborn Studio, Dove offered express hair touch-ups to keep everyone’s ‘dos fresh and camera-ready. Meanwhile, the Hair Jam Tent by Fino delivered a true Y2K moment with hair-bedazzling appointments that added extra sparkle to every strand.
No performance is complete without picture-perfect skin. Guests prepped at Pond’s Dream Glow Lounge, discovering the Ultra-Light Biome Gel for a radiant, photo-ready finish. Over at the Backstage Area, Marie France, Facial Care Center, and Svenson offered the ultimate pre-show reset, complete with surprise treats.
Makeup touch-ups awaited at the Glam Room, fully stocked with Issy, Popique, and Lucky Beauty for swatching, experimenting, and capturing final looks at the built-in photobooth. To channel full pop-star energy, the Soundcheck Studio with Lancôme invited guests to warm up their vocals before taking center stage.
For those seeking relaxation, two dedicated spaces offered calm and sensory escape. Vaseline at the Dream Glow Lounge treated attendees to quick hand massages—aptly called “Skin Shots”—for an instant dose of calm. For a deeper olfactory experience, local perfume brand Tadhana transformed the Chillout Lounge into a fragrant haven for full scent discovery.
Several spots captured the thrill of being a true fan. At the Fan Zone, powered by Puressentiel and Bioderma, guests picked up feel-good favorites to take home. Inside the Concert Hall, the Merch Booth showcased a curated lineup of local brands from The Beauty Edit Gallery at Spatio. The VIP Check-In welcomed subscribers with personalized keepsakes, while annual members scored instant welcome kits.
Finally, The Beauty Edit Box Vol. 18 | Greatest Hits made its grand appearance in the Concert Hall, ready for claiming after the program—the perfect sendoff after a star-worthy experience.
