IMATS Toronto November 2011

The International Makeup Artist Trade Show Toronto will be back November 12-13, 2011 at the Toronto Congress Centre.  If you missed last year's show and The Makeup Show Chicago then you definitely do not want to miss this year's show.  With over three months to save for hotel, travel, food, products and more, I expect to see more of my fellow makeup artists, vloggers and bloggers from the US this year.  Michigan does not have events such as IMATS and The Makeup Show so we have to travel to the events if we want the education and also to test and see the products in person.

IMATS Toronto is a great event for makeup artists, aspiring makeup artists and makeup enthusiasts.  It is open to the public and the tickets are affordable.  It is best to purchase tickets in advance.  IMATS is an opportunity to network with other makeup artists and to see what new products are out.  IMATS is also an opportunity to watch some of the best in the industry teach a new technique or style of makeup you may not know. 

     Check out the International Makeup Artist Trade Show  website for further information on the show. You can also check out http://tantalizing-eyez.blogspot.com for pictures and more on last year's IMATS Toronto.

The Makeup Show Chicago 2011



The Makeup Show is coming to Chicago for the 1st time June 12-13, 2011.  I can not wait for all the educational and networking opportunities.   

This will be my first time attending The Makeup Show and it is only 4 hours away in Chicago. I feel so blessed. As a new Freelance Makeup Artist in the Metro Detroit area I feel that education is very important and that is the main reason I am attending the show.

The Makeup Show is a pro only beauty event that started in NYC years ago. Since then it has been in LA for 3 years and for the first time every in Chicago, IL June 12-13, 2011 at Venue One.  Featured presenters include Reggie Wells, Sam Fine, Joanna Schlip, Jinny, Johnny Lavoy, Crystal Wright and Michael DeVellis to name a few.  Over 60 exhibitors will be at the show with various products to add to our arsenal of makeup for our clients and ourselves. 

There will be hands-on workshops at an additional fee Saturday, Sunday and Monday.  You do need proof of working in the beauty industry to attend The Makeup Show.
