The Beauty Edit launches new event series gathering movers in the beauty community

Published May 27, 2025 05:21 am
The Beauty Edit has officially launched “Un/convention/al,” a new event series created to cultivate intimate, impactful spaces for genuine dialogue and meaningful connection within the beauty industry. Each edition is tailored for a distinct group—whether editors, creators, executives, wellness advocates, or everyday beauty lovers—with a unifying mission: to reflect, reconnect, and reimagine how we show up in our work and lives.
The inaugural edition, “Bylines & Beyond: The Editors Forum,” welcomed beauty and lifestyle editors, writers, and creatives for a full day of thoughtful discussions on craft, community, and the evolving future of storytelling.

“We created this not to reinvent the industry, but to reconnect with why we do what we do,” said Nicole Morales, founder of The Beauty Edit. “To remind ourselves of our mission, to have honest conversations, and to gather with people who care just as much about the work as we do.”
The forum featured an inspiring lineup of speakers who offered fresh and insightful perspectives on the culture and craft of storytelling in beauty and lifestyle media. Among them were Senator Risa Hontiveros; lifestyle journalist and Pineappleversed founder Chonx Tibajia; Monique Buensalido, vice president at Buensalido PR & Communications; and more.

The event concluded with a heartfelt reflection from Nicole:
“There’s something special about being in a room full of people who understand what it means to create, to care, to write with intention. We hope today reminds you that there’s room for all of us to grow together.”
Future editions of “Un/convention/al” are already in development, each one crafted to support and inspire a different segment of The Beauty Edit’s growing community—from creatives and professionals to passionate beauty users.
