Giving back to the community is something that Amorepacific Malaysia believes in. Amorepacific which owns popular cosmetics brands such as Laneige, Sulwhasoo, Innisfree, Ryo and Mise En Scene, will collaborate with Subang Jaya Medical Centre (SJMC) for its ‘makeup your Life’ corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme this year.
Through this programme, Amorepacific Malaysia will offer makeup and skincare education to help cancer patients beautify themselves and regain self-confidence while they deal with changes in their physical appearance due to cancer treatment. The ‘makeup your Life’ programme this year is targeting to reach out to 160 cancer patients in SJMC. Several ‘makeup your Life’ workshops will be conducted between August and December 2022 in conjunction with SJMC’s 37th Anniversary.
The ‘makeup your Life’ programme is part of a ‘2030 A MORE Beautiful Promise’ Commitment by Amorepacific. The company is investing KRW100 billion by 2030 to support the financial independence of socially vulnerable groups and to empower citizens to lead healthier, more sustainable lives. Implemented mainly in Korea and China, this initiative aims to help reduce the mortality rate and improve the lives of female cancer patients.
In these two regions, the initiative extends to preventive education and screening measures to funding surgery for women who fall within the low-income group. By joining the UN-led movement called ‘Every Woman Every Child’, Amorepacific also carries out its obligation to the fullest as a responsible global citizen, thereby contributing to A MORE Beautiful World.
‘makeup your Life’ is a fun-filled educational event that will include a skincare and makeup class as well as health tips by healthcare professionals. The ‘makeup your Life’ programme has been conducted since 2008 starting with South Korea and later extended to the other regions which include China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia.
