Beauty industry icons, next-gen talent, and other friends of beauty will be on hand to celebrate as Beauty Changes Lives (BCL) marks its ten-year anniversary and a decade of changing lives through the gift of scholarships and mentoring.
Set for Sunday, April 10, from 7-11pm at Joe’s Live in Rosemont, IL, the event will start with a VIP cocktail reception followed by the evening’s “mane event,” a high-fashion runway show. Brand legends and next-gen artists will reinterpret hair, nails, and make-up artistry through a metamorphic lens, reflecting the evolution that occurs across a beauty professional’s career journey from aspiring student to next-gen artist to flourishing icon.
