Highlights

On 17 September 2026, competitors from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Brunei and Indonesia gathered in Hong Kong for 86 events across nail, lash and permanent makeup artistry — each working against the clock with nothing but their own hands and training.

98 international judges assessed every entry, from the first check-in of the morning to the last static piece on the exhibition tables. 347 placings were awarded, alongside nine grand champions, the team awards and the grand prize.

Our thanks to every competitor who took the stage, and to the judges, volunteers and partners who made the day possible.
