Beautycon 2025, tagged Destination: Beauty,  proved to be the ultimate venue and the hottest event for every beauty fan last August 28 to 31, 2025, at the SMX Convention Center Manila. Watsons, SM Beauty, and Look At Me patrons were treated to an extravaganza made bigger and better—thanks to last year’s overwhelming turnout for the first-ever Beautycon. The beauty community, including celebrities, TikTok stars, and industry pioneers, gathered to celebrate the best in makeup, skincare, personal care, health & wellness, and more.

Adding to the excitement, Watsons Club members, SM Advantage Card holders, and Look List loyalists enjoyed free entry to the event. Inside, over 160 brands showcasing makeup to fragrances, body care to hair care & styling, personal hygiene to health and wellbeing were present to give everyone exclusive discounts, bundles, gifts with purchases, and first dibs at the latest launches. Filipino beauty favorites and international brands all welcomed patrons to interactive booths and experiences that can only be executed at Beautycon 2025. It was an affair begging to be seen IRL and shared online immediately as the entrance featured a photo-ready LED tunnel while inviting pink archways and striking visuals greeted customers as they made their way to the second floor of the SMX Convention Center. Inside, a big boarding pass and a traveling postcard made for cute moments!

Beautycon 2025 also teamed up with the Philippine Dermatological Society to offer free derma consultations for everyone in attendance. 

 

Senior Assistant Vice President for Marketing Communications, Public Relations, and Sustainability of Watsons Philippines, Ms. Sharon Decapia, expressed her excitement about the event’s success, saying: "We're thrilled with this year's Beautycon turnout. It was an ambitious project to bring together so many brands and a star-studded celebrity guest list, but it all came together.  We really saw how much our Watsons Club, SMAC, and LOOK At Me members enjoyed each zone and shopped for the best beauty finds. We're looking forward to seeing everyone again in 2026 for an even better Beautycon experience."
