Must-see events at Milan Beauty Week

The first Milano Beauty Week will take place from 3 to 8 May. All make-up, skincare, perfume and haircare addicts will have the chance to discover brands and new products in the sector by visiting the Beauty Village Palazzo Giureconsulti, in Piazza dei Mercanti 2, the real heart of the event. Here there will be stands, talks, meetings, interviews, workshops and experiential laboratories linked to the world of cosmetics. In short, there will be many interesting meetings, and we would like to highlight three of them. Let's start with the meeting on the Economy of Cosmetics, during which we will discuss how the cosmetics industry is one of the jewels in the Made in Italy crown, with a turnover of 11.8 billion euro and an export value of around 40% of production. Also not to be missed is the talk La bellezza è multicolor, where experts such as Lisa Brugin, Earned Media Manager of the Estée Lauder Company, will explain the role of make-up in a multi-ethnic society, first explaining how to approach different cultures and then how to get to know people's chromatic and morphological differences, how to dose colour, and which type of product to use. In a way, Maneskin will attend the Milano Beauty Week, through their make-up artist Chantal Ciaffardini, who will be among the hosts of a talk on non-binary beauty.

Here are the other not-to-be-missed appointments at Milano Beauty Week that will involve, among others, major players such as L'Oreal, Chanel or Estée Lauder and emerging brands such as Comfort Zone and Skinius.
