Don't Miss The Makeup Show This Weekend -- May 13th - 14th

This weekend marks the six years of The Makeup Show NYC. It's the largest PRO-ONLY drive beauty event in NY! The Makeup Show is an amazing event filled with great seminars, amazing products and knowledge to be learned. The industry top artists are in attendance for two days filled with inspiration, education and community. It's also an opportunity to learn about the newest lines and product launches. You can network with peers, and develop new relationships with companies. It's my favorite makeup show. It's actually what convinced me to start this blog last year. As a makeup artist in this fantastic city, it's my favorite time. Advanced tickets are sold out, but you can still purchase at the door. Just remember, you must be a beauty professional to attend. Door prices are $65 for one day pass and $85 for two day pass. The Makeup Show takes place at the Metropolitan Pavilion on 18th street.
