A Night of Glamour & Celebration at the Long Island Beauty Awards
On March 10, 2025 the Long Island Beauty Awards delivered a night straight out of a dream. Guests arrived in breathtaking custom gowns, gliding across the Pink Carpet for live interviews before stepping into a cocktail room transformed into an ethereal white wonderland. Twinkling branches cast a soft glow over the VIP Lounge, where Cynosure Lutronic, presented by Permanent Touch Cosmetics, showcased their AccuFit technology on a jaw-droppingly gorgeous model.
Elite sponsors—including Revision Skincare, CoolPeel by Cartessa, and Galderma—networked with beauty’s best, as industry leaders sipped cocktails and toasted to excellence. The ballroom? Pure Old Hollywood romance. Draped in elegance, it was unrecognizable as Crest Hollow Country Club. Winners, finalists, and Beauty Council members took center stage, accepting stunning crystal awards before hitting the dance floor with DJ Ivan from Drive Up DJs.
From dazzling décor to top-tier industry connections, the evening was a flawless fusion of luxury, innovation, and celebration—one that will be talked about until next year’s awards!
Patients of Blaine Plastic Surgery can look forward to gaining self-confidence and a sense of well-being from looking, feeling and functioning at their very best.
