Addis Ababa glowed a little brighter this past weekend as Radiance Fest took over the Addis International Convention Center on November 1–2. Far from being just another beauty event, the festival brought together over 50 local and international brands for two days of discovery, conversation, and inspiration.

Centered on aesthetic care and gentle self-enhancement, Radiance Fest focused on the idea of beauty as a journey not a standard. Instead of pushing perfection, organizers designed the experience to encourage visitors to explore treatments, innovations, and wellness practices that help them feel confident, cared for, and authentically themselves.

From skincare to holistic healing, the event offered live demonstrations, expert talks, and hands-on sessions. Attendees had the chance to learn about the latest in non-invasive treatments, derma technologies, wellness therapies, and clean beauty innovations directly from professionals and pioneers in the field.

Dermatologists, cosmetic experts, nutritionists, and wellness coaches hosted open conversations on topics like aging gracefully, skin health, mindful beauty routines, body positivity, and the emotional side of self-care. Crowds gathered around demo stations to experience everything from LED facials and herbal treatments to beauty tech tools and makeup artistry.

But what set Radiance Fest apart was its message beauty beyond appearance. The atmosphere encouraged healing, growth, and personal expression. Whether someone came to find skincare solutions, learn new techniques, or simply enjoy the energy of like-minded individuals, the festival made space for every story.

With its blend of innovation, education, and empowerment, Radiance Fest proved that beauty isn’t about pressure or perfection it’s about feeling radiant in your own way.
