Students chosen as Beauty Shadow Board members after UniDays/British Beauty Council/Sephora-inspired competition
After a 'competitive nationwide selection process' - 500 applicants were asked to pitch their future-facing beauty solutions across topics including innovation & technology, sustainability, creativity, marketing and science.
The winners have now joined The Shadow Board which is designed for further education students "who are passionate about shaping the future of beauty'.
Jessica Hewitt, global head of Beauty and Wellness at UniDays, said: 'This incredible programme is all about giving the next generation of beauty talent access to mentorship, industry insights, and - most importantly - a seat at the table.
'We recognise that today's beauty students are tomorrow's visionaries, and we're committed to empowering them to shape the future of an industry they already influence so profoundly'.
Sabina Ellahi, head of PR & Communications at Sephora UK, also said: 'Inspiring doesn't even begin to describe the types of entries we received for the Student Shadow Board - the calibre of entries showed how much passion the students had not only just for breaking into the beauty industry but also being a part of the movement to drive meaningful change in the industry.
'What was most impressive was seeing how the students intersected the many facets and verticals of the beauty industry with their line of studies, highlighting so many skill sets, expertise and knowledge at the forefront.'
