There’s just over a week to go until The Beauty Beat 2026, and this year’s edition is expected to be a goodie. The two-day event, dedicated to celebrating Black women and Women of Colour, will bring together some of the biggest names in beauty for a weekend of shopping, treatments, masterclasses and, most importantly, conversations.
Founded by Donna Dia, The Beauty Beat was created to bridge the gap between beauty brands and Women of Colour, giving a community that, to this day, isn’t properly represented in the industry a space to feel seen and celebrated. Now marking its fifth anniversary, the event has grown from a sold-out debut in 2022 to a highlight of London’s beauty calendar. So, what’s in store this year? Some of the biggest names in beauty, with Fenty Beauty, Estée Lauder, MAC, NARS, L’Oréal Paris, Sephora and more participating across the two days. There will also be lots of products to explore, exclusive shopping offers, expert advice and complimentary beauty services, from nails and lashes to hair consultations.
And then there are the conversations. Taking to the stage, Mel B will be sharing her hair and beauty journey, while Janell Stephens, founder of Camille Rose, will be talking all things haircare. Uche Natori is scheduled to host a masterclass, alongside conversations featuring Sabrina Elba, Mikai McDermott and Candice Brathwaite, covering everything from beauty and wellness to confidence and the industry’s ever-changing standards.
And last, but by far not least, there are the goodie bags. Each ticket comes with a goodie bag worth over £400, packed with full-sized products.
The Beauty Beat 2026 takes place on 31 October and 1 November at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre, Broad Sanctuary, Westminster, London SW1P 3EE. Find more information about the event and tickets HERE.
