Burcu Esmersoy and İbrahim Selim hosted the award night. The entertaining dialogues between the two gave the guests enjoyable moments.
At the 8th Watsons Beauty and Personal Care Awards, where the “best” of beauty and personal care products are determined, 137 products in 25 different categories were voted by customers, influencers and members of the press. The products that were determined by close to 1 million votes and received the most votes in their categories were entitled to be the “Best Product of the Year”.
In the fascinating night designed with the concept of Watsons Wonderland, the guests were welcomed with a carnival-like cortege. The night started with the performance of the piano player accompanied by Tarık Sezer’s Voice orchestra. Deniz Yiğiter’s ballet performance in the opening show and Nebi Birgi’s stage performance by joining Deniz Yiğitler right after were dazzling. The magnificent Colorful Show of Baran Yüksel and his team was one of the performances that made the night unique. The performance of talented dancers, combined with the body painting of the esteemed Painter Emel Ülüş, made all the guests experience a real world wonderland. Spanish winds blew with the Flamenco performance of Melek Yel and her team.
Marked the awards night
The surprise name of the night was the famous rapper Ceza. Enthusiastic with his favorite songs on the stage, Ceza left his mark on the award night. Another name that left its mark on the night was the famous choreographer and art director Nebi Birgi, who also choreographed A Midnight in Pera Palas, the popular TV series of recent times. Nebi Birgi gave a wonderful nostalgia to all the guests with Zeki Müren’s performance at the night. Award-winning actress and artist Nebi Birgi’s “Happy” performance and choreography specially prepared for Watsons Beauty and Personal Care Awards left their mark on the night. Finally, the night ended with the unforgettable stage performance of Zuhal Olcay, who received the “Infinite Success” award.
Within the scope of the environmental axis of Watsons’ Sustainable Living mission, a sapling was donated to the TEMA Foundation on behalf of each guest, in cooperation with the TEMA Foundation. “Watsons Producer Partners with the Highest Rate of Female Employees” were awarded for the second time this year in order to encourage women’s participation in business life and economy on the axis of social sustainability.
