"As we enter our next phase of growth, we celebrate and empower every Mary Kay woman, from our Independent Beauty Consultants to their customers. Beauty Is More Beautiful Shared is more than a campaign; it is a movement."
"In Ukraine, beauty has always meant more than what we see in the mirror. It is a source of confidence, resilience, and opportunity that empowers women to move forward, even in the face of challenges," said Viktoriia Zoria-Iatsenko, General Manager of Mary Kay Ukraine. "That is why the Beauty Is More Beautiful Shared campaign resonates so strongly with us. When women share encouragement, knowledge, and opportunity, they create a powerful community that helps everyone thrive. Through entrepreneurship, education, and social initiatives, Mary Kay is committed to helping more women and girls unlock their potential and shape their futures with confidence."
The campaign will be brought to life globally through a variety of consumer engagement formats. At the core of all activities is the company's belief that beauty has its greatest impact when it is shared through confidence, support, and new opportunities for others.
