Spring 2005 has been recorded in the calendar of the Polish cosmetics industry as a time of an extraordinary event – the National Championship of Artistic Make-up for Cosmetics and Make-up Schools "CZARNA PERŁA". The event, which took place in Warsaw during the SALON WIOSNA fair, attracted young make-up artists from all over the country. The organizer of this prestigious competition was Małgorzata Wedekind – the owner of the BIKOR company, known for products such as the cult bronzer "Egyptische Erde".
"BLACK PEARL" - a place for young talents
The "BLACK PEARL" Championship is a unique initiative aimed at promoting creativity, passion and high standards in the art of make-up. The competition was attended by students of beauty schools and make-up courses from all over Poland. The task of the participants was to create artistic make-up inspired by the theme of pearls - a symbol of elegance, mystery and timeless beauty.
Behind the scenes of the event
The competition took place in front of a large audience during the SALON WIOSNA 2005 trade fair – one of the largest events in the cosmetics industry in Poland. Participants had a set time to do their make-up live, and their work was assessed by a professional jury consisting of renowned make-up artists, cosmetologists and representatives of the world of fashion and art.
Each makeup was assessed for:
- creativity and compliance with the topic,
- precision of workmanship,
- selection of colors and techniques,
- ability to highlight the natural beauty of the model.
Małgorzata Wedekind – the heart and soul of the event
The event's organizer, Małgorzata Wedekind, has been involved in the development of young talents and the promotion of standards in the beauty industry for years. Her company BIKOR is known not only for the highest quality products, but also for initiatives supporting the education and professionalism of make-up artists.
In an interview given during the event, Wedekind emphasized:
"CZARNA PERŁA is not just a competition – it is a space where young artists can showcase their creativity, learn from the best and feel proud of their skills. We want this event to become a platform for building a career in the beauty industry."
Winners and prizes
The competition winners received prizes that were to help them further develop their careers - professional BIKOR cosmetics, training courses and the opportunity to establish contacts with industry leaders. The main prize, the symbolic "Black Pearl", went to a talented young artist whose work delighted the jury with its subtlety, precision and unique interpretation of the subject.
Impact on the beauty industry
The National Artistic Makeup Championship "CZARNA PERŁA" has become an inspiration for many young people who dream of a career as a make-up artist.
