CANTIK DALAM HARMONI INDONESIA: CELEBRATING THE BEAUTY OF THE ARCHIPELAGO THROUGH MAKEUP

Indonesia is a celebration of beauty in diversity. From traditional attire and rich cultural heritage to the stories woven into every region, Indonesia offers countless colors and expressions worth celebrating. In celebration of the 81st Independence Day of the Republic of Indonesia, MUAQ invites Makeup Artists, Beauty Enthusiasts, and Content Creators to translate this beauty through creativity, artistry, and self-expression with CANTIK DALAM HARMONI INDONESIA—a makeup challenge that creates a space to explore and celebrate Indonesian beauty through your own interpretation of makeup.

Through this challenge, you can choose from two exciting themes. First, Adat (Traditional Look), where you can draw inspiration from traditional makeup, cultural attire, heritage elements, and the rich cultural heritage of various regions across Indonesia. Or, take your creativity to the next level with Fantasy Nusantara—a theme that invites you to transform the richness of Indonesian culture into a makeup look that is more imaginative, artistic, and full of character.

There is a total of IDR 25,000,000 in prizes for 8 winners. More than just a competition, this is an opportunity to showcase your makeup artistry, explore your creativity, and celebrate Indonesia through your own unique perspective.

The challenge runs from 10–31 August 2026. It’s time to find your inspiration, choose your theme, create your best makeup look, and share it through Instagram and TikTok. Don’t forget to submit your entry through the designated submission form.
You are also welcome to submit more than one makeup look and explore both themes—Adat (Traditional Look) and Fantasy Nusantara. Each submission will be considered, and the best looks will be selected as winners.

To give participants more opportunities to win, there will be two winner selection periods:
- 17 August 2026 — for participants who submit their entries between 10–16 August 2026
- 31 August 2026 — for participants who submit their entries between 10–30 August 2026
Be sure to check the official MUAQ Instagram post and website for full challenge details and Terms & Conditions.

Because there is no single definition of Indonesian beauty. There are countless stories, colors, and perspectives—and each one deserves to be celebrated.

So, are you ready to show us your interpretation of Indonesian beauty? Glam up, get creative, and celebrate Indonesia your way, Troops!
