Hi, Everyone!
May brings flowers, great weather, and a fantastic show called The Makeup Show NYC that I cover every year! I am so excited for all that the show is offering this year. The show is this weekend, May 6th and May 7th. Read all about what this show has to offer. There will even be a career fair this year for those that are looking to work in the beauty industry!
I love covering this show because of the atmosphere and the energy of everyone around. There are people of all ages and genders at this show, and the common thread between everyone is makeup! There is so much to learn, so much to buy, and so much to experience at this show.
