Haul: The Makeup Show NYC 2011

25 May

I have Kardashian wedding fever and the only prescription is more coverage of The Makeup Show NYC!  Take a break from wondering if Kim Kardashian’s 20.5 carat engagement ring weighs more than the petite reality TV starlet by checking out my haul video.

Review: The Makeup Show NYC 2011

24 May

James Vincent, artists and models on stage at New York Groove

The Makeup Show was off the hook this year.  It was bigger and badder than the year before and the year before that and allegedly the biggest ever in its 6 year run.  I shopped, laughed, cried (almost), learned life lessons, connected with old friends and made new ones.  Check out the highlights of my experience below:

Sneak Peek

I had the privilege of being invited to a preview hosted by James Vincent (Director of Education & Artist Relations for The Makeup Show) on the eve of the show where he gave us a rundown of what to expect.  I already had high expectations with all of the incredibly talented artists and exhibitors that were scheduled to be there but I was floored when we were told that they were expecting over 6,000 attendees.  That could be a small town!  James also went over some of his favorite products that were going to be available at the show and the new Make Up For Ever Aqua Liner was one of his picks.  I was excited that the liner was included because everyone has been raving about it and I was holding off from purchasing one until the show.  OCC lip tars and Stila Convertible Colors were also in the mix.  We were given a gift bag with his favorites so stay tuned for the full list of his picks on my upcoming video review on YouTube.

Event: 3 Reasons to Attend The Makeup Show NYC

15 Apr

[Video of my 2010 experience]

 

The Makeup Show NYC 2011

It is that time of year again.  Time to gear up for one of the events I am looking forward to the most this year–The Makeup Show NYC! 

Location:

Metropolitan Pavilion

125 W 18th St., NYC

When:

Sunday, May 15th, 2011 – 9:00 am-6:00 pm

Monday, May 16th, 2011 – 9:00 am-5:00PM

Tickets:

Two day – $70 (advanced tickets-until May 12th)/$85 (at the door)

One day – $45 (advanced tickets-until May 12th)/$65 (at the door)

With only one month to go here are three reasons why beauty professionals and students should not miss the show:

1. Stock Up

The PRO-only (according to their website: “proof of professions, such as a business card, industry license, COMP card, etc or student status is required at the door prior to gain entry”) event is the place to be for makeup artists seeking to restock their kits since many (not all) exhibitors offer discounts and value packs.  Some of this year’s exhibitors include:

  • Yves Saint Laurent – it is their first year at the show and I audibly gasped when I saw their name on the exhibitor list.
  • Face Atelier – they make an amazing foundation that is free of SPF, which is important if your worst nightmare is foundation that photographs white.
  • Inglot - make sure you camp out at the Metropolitan Pavilion if you plan on hitting up their booth.  They offer discounts on their products, which many YouTube personalities rave about.  I recently purchased some of their eye shadows and blushes and just from swatching I was impressed by their texture and color payoff.  Needless to say it was a zoo last year and I don’t expect anything less this time around.
  • Make Up For Ever - From their amazing foundations to their high impact eye shadows, it is definitely a must see at The Makeup Show.  Last year they had some great deals if you bought a certain quantity of particular items.  Their booth is chaotic as well.  Be prepared to wait on line.

2. Get Inspired

Learn a new trick or two and gain valuable insight in their Main Floor Seminars and Keynote and Business Forum from industry veterans such as Dany Sanz (founder and Artistic Director of Make Up For Ever), Billy B (celebrity makeup artist – does Lady Gaga ring a bell?), Sam Fine (celebrity makeup artist) and more.  Hands on workshops are also taking place throughout the day at an additional fee. 

3. Connect

Finally, don’t forget to bring your business cards!  It is the perfect opportunity to meet and network with other members of the beauty community.
