The world is seeing unprecedent times and artists in the beauty industry are struggling now more than ever. In a call to help, Support Creatives is doing their part to provide assistance to those in need. Between June 16-26, the 501(c)(3) beauty nonprofit will be hosting Beauty Together, a huge 10-day industry fundraiser to educate and spread positivity, while supporting inclusivity in the beauty industry and artists affected by COVID-19. The global livestream education event will bring together a diverse group of 50 celebrity hairstylists, makeup artists, beauty agencies, celebrities, and brands from around the world to “virtually hold hands” in a benefit for artists. Can’t watch live? Classes will also be available On Demand.
Beauty Together will not only raise money for artists affected by COVID-19 and provide a percentage of donations from all classes to organizations supporting racial justice, but it will spread positivity through unique education opportunities for industry professionals and beauty lovers across the globe. Those in attendance will have the opportunity to support artists in the industry while having fun and learning from top professionals.
The global livestream will be open to the public with the capacity to host up to 5K viewers. The classes will start at a $10 donation. All attendees are allowed to donate more than the starting amount, and those who would like to support the cause further can make direct donations on https://supportcreatives.org/pages/donate
In addition to providing a unique educational experience with industry professionals, the event’s supporting sponsors R+Co, Schwarzkopf, Aloxxi, Alterna, Unwrapped Life, RCMA Makeup, Beachwaver, Danessa Myricks Beauty, and The Makeup Show will team up to support the industry, some with headlining artists, and even special giveaways for a few lucky attendees!
The event will be hosted by Michael Dueñas, celebrity hairstylist and Co-Founder of Support Creatives and feature artists like Bobbi Brown, Sir John, Sam Villa, Danessa Myricks, Scotty Cunha, Katie Jane Hughes, César DeLeön Ramîrez, Sarah Potempa, Tabatha Coffey, and others who will participate in an exciting lineup of educational talks, Q+As and demos. Bobbi Brown, for example, will host an hour-long session called “Real Talk with Bobbi Brown” where attendees will have the opportunity to ask her questions, while Sir John will focus his masterclass session on Skin, Sculpt, and Eyes.
