At the event, Jane Lim, Director of Shopee Philippines, said, “Shopee’s Beauty Fair is a celebration of women and their success, and we are proud to partner Maybelline and Palmolive for this event – both leading beauty brands who share the same belief that women should be celebrated as they are. Beauty Fair was conceptualised as part of Shopee’s continued commitment to empowering Filipina across the country. We hope that this serves as an inspirational platform for more women to take a step forward towards achieving their goals.”
Megan Young on empowerment
Megan Young shared her journey to being crowned 2013 Miss World, and how being Miss World has made her an influence and inspiration to young women.
“Joining Miss World 5 years ago really took me out of my comfort zone and challenged me to be more confident. After being crowned, I realised I was in a position where I had the power to influence young women, and I wanted to do my part to encourage them to stand up for themselves. I used to just shrug off people who say insensitive or hurtful comments, but now call them out and tell them they’re wrong, and I encourage all women to not be afraid to do the same,” said Megan
KC Concepcion
KC Concepcion, a brand ambassador for Palmolive, told her own story on how being healthy is as important as being true to oneself. She talked about how her journey with maintaining her health has helped her confidence and enabled her to achieve success in both her career and personal life.
