BFBL graduates showcasing their talents in beauty and makeup.

For eight years, the Beauty for a Better Life (BFBL) programme has equipped women from disadvantaged communities with professional skills in hairdressing, makeup and beauty. Its impact goes beyond skill-building; it also fosters a sense of purpose and community among its participants.

After graduation, these women have improved their lives and empower others, proving that beauty is not skin deep: it’s a tool to build self-confidence, resilience and change. A partnership between the L’Oreal Foundation and WOMEN:girls, BFBL combines L’Oréal’s expertise with WOMEN:girls’ dedication towards fostering self-development.
