10 DAYS UNTIL IMATS TORONTO 2010!!!  I am so excited and ready to attend.  I hope everyone who is from the USA has their passport book(if flying) or card, or enhanced license to cross the border.  I made sure mine was here before reserving my hotel.  I have been checking out the site http://www.imatsshow.com to see the updates to the schedule and exhibitor list.  I also am getting my portfolio ready for some networking....

I will be so excited to be able to hear Keynote Speakers:

Taylor Chang-Babaian- Celebrity MUA and author

Whether you are a beginner or have been in the industry for decades things are always changing and there is always more to learn.

Check out the speaker bio page for a better description of who they are and what they do and the IMATS schedule to plan ahead for classes you may want to attend.

I plan to definitely check out KJ Bennett's classes on Tool Time and The Complete Complexion.  Perfecting the complexion and the airbursh classes are my main focus.  Fall / Winter Runway Trends with Nadine Luke is another class I plan to attend since I have been mainly doing fashion shows lately.  Avant Garde: Make-up as Art with Anabel Vargas is another class I would like to attend because I love fantasy makeup also.  I definitely will be checking out Cracking Couture: The Secrets to a Career in Fashion Make-up with Roque Cozzette since I love doing fashion shows and runway makeup. Some of the things he will be discussing: backstage etiquette, must-have products in your kit, make-up brushes and airbrush techniques.  Faces and More with Vargas follows on the same stage so I plan to stay and learn from him also.  I hope to see the student competitions in between all the workshops. I hope to see you there.  :)

Don't forget to bring money, etc. for great products to pick up for your kit.
