It is Christmas time in the makeup world as The Makeup Show is coming to New York on May 7th to May 8th to the Metropolitan Pavilion. As a blogger/makeup junkie, I absolutely love this event! I covered it last year and I am still amazed at the discounts that we all received on makeup. I will be there covering the show this year as well, wouldn’t miss it!
There were various classes to watch, and many industry professionals took a seat to watch and develop their skills. Many of your favorite brands will be in attendance. I left with a ton of goodies and to this day I still have a few things that I haven’t opened yet. Everyone is in great spirits and overall it is definitely a great time. Check out my photos from last year above.
If you are a makeup student, here is where you need to be. If you are a makeup artist and you have yet to hear of this wonderful show — you’re missing out, make sure that you are in attendance to stock your kit. Lastly, if you are just a makeup lover .. how could you miss this?!
The Makeup Show NYC will take place on Sunday, May 7th from 9 AM-6 PM and Monday, May 8th from 9 AM-5 PM at Metropolitan Pavilion, 125 W. 18th St., New York City. Tickets are available online and can be purchased at www.themakeupshow.com.
