The Beauty Awards Shine at Cake Mix

The Beauty Awards took centre stage at this year’s FASHION Cake Mix Party, the third annual kickoff to Toronto Pride. Designed by Nivek Remas, the immersive pop-up featured a cloudscape set against a monochromatic peach fuzz backdrop, reflecting the Pantone colour of the year and this year’s Beauty Awards theme. Guests were invited to explore award-winning products from brands like Shark, Clairol, Jean Paul Gaultier, OPI, and VASANTI®, with Toronto-based Creative Myles Sexton hosting the event.
