What to Expect From the First-Ever Allure Beauty Congress

Working at an iconic Condé Nast beauty publication like Allure Philippines comes with a unique privilege: access to the most respected experts in the industry. From top board-certified dermatologists to celebrity makeup artists, hair authorities, nail artists, and leading voices shaping the future of beauty, the Allure editorial team learns directly from the best.

These insights—whether picked up in passing backstage, gathered during in-depth interviews, or shared during shoots—are the backbone of everything Allure creates. Every page, feature, and story, whether in print or online, is powered by this insider knowledge.

Every time readers consume Allure content, it’s as if they’re getting beauty advice straight from the experts themselves.

For the first time ever, you’ll actually be able to get those tips and insights directly from the experts, at the first-ever Allure Philippines Beauty Congress, happening on November 21 to 23 at RCBC Plaza, Makati.

“At Allure Philippines, we believe beauty becomes more meaningful when it’s rooted in knowledge. The Beauty Congress opens the doors to that knowledge—giving everyone the chance to learn from the country’s most trusted experts and experience beauty the way an editor would,” says Rissa Mananquil Trillo, editor in chief of Allure Philippines.

For three whole days, Allure Philippines is gathering together esteemed experts and huge names in the Philippine beauty industry—so that they can share their expertise with you, in person. You won’t just get to read about beauty—you will get to wade into the world yourself.

Step into the world of The Beauty Expert…

In the numerous Allure Conversations panel discussions that are sprinkled throughout all three days, all sorts of important topics and issues will be tackled. Think aesthetic enhancements, misinformation in beauty, the rise of the morena, unretouched beauty, and the power of Filipino beauty visionaries—all by influential names such as Doctors Z and Aivee Teo, Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach, Miss Universe Philippines 2023 Michelle Marquez Dee, host and morena advocate Bianca Gonzalez, actor and body positivity advocate Iza Calzado, Philippine Dermatological Society president Dr. Jasmin Jamora, host Suzi Entrata-Abrera, beauty and wellness brand founders Joel Andrade of Issy and Ava Daza of Jellytime, author and morena advocate Ayn Bernos, and more.

Attendees will also get a chance to learn beauty from the legends, with the live makeup demonstrations and skill-building sessions that will be underway in Allure Masterclasses, headlined by makeup and hair experts Lala Flores, Denise Go Ochoa, Lourd Ramos, and Booya, among others.

…And make it your own!

Meanwhile, the best in beauty and wellness will be showcased by top brands, allowing attendees to truly immerse themselves in the Allure experience. That means that you get the chance to test and take home complimentary products from local and international brands—just like an Allure editor.

A portrait session will also be held throughout the Beauty Congress, where photographers will give you a taste of what it’s like being in front of the lens during a professional photo shoot.

Finally, on November 23 on Day 3 of the Beauty Congress, guests will be among the first to witness the reveal of the latest cover of Allure Philippines.
