STUDIO BEAUTYQUE ANNIVERSARY PARTY

On Thursday May 13th, 2021 we celebrated Beautyque NYC's first year anniversary! We hosted the first ever 3D virtual event inviting beauty lovers and beauty brands to come together for an epic disco party aka "Studio Beautyque" inspired by New York's biggest club scene, Studio 54. Here is a recap of our anniversary party:

Since Beautyque NYC was established in New York City, that is why we chose the aesthetic and overall theme of Studio 54. When you envision Studio 54, you are thinking of bright lights, sparkle, groovy looks, and let us not forget about the disco balls. We wanted to implement a disco-esque vibe that Studio 54 brought to the big apple in virtual form.

SHOWROOM

There were a total of four floors that consisted of different activities attendees could enjoy and be a part of. The first floor was our Beautyque NYC 3D virtual store decked in party decorations. On this floor, you were able to shop for beauty and wellness products from our amazing indie brands. We built a virtual elevator for guests to explore the entire event. It also consisted of a chatroom for everyone to connect with each other as well as network on each floor.

STUDIO BEAUTYQUE

Our goal was to create a full-on party experience for attendees. So, on the second floor, we added a DJ booth which was where you could zoom with others during the event and have a dance party, a photo booth, and a mixology bar that directs you to a cocktail recipe tutorial that you can achieve in the comfort of your own home. We strived to go all out on this floor because this was where the party took place.

We implemented a giveaway where indie brands had the opportunity to include their desired products in a "swag bag", then choosing an attendee who had the best photo-booth submission to win the swag bag filled with full-size and sample-size beauty and wellness products worth a value of $1,000.

Here are the sponsors that participated in the giveaway.
