The Makeup Show NYC 2011

May 15, 2011

The booths at The Makeup Show NYC

The Makeup Show NYC descended upon the Big Apple for it’s 6th consecutive year bringing beauty professionals two days of lectures, workshops and the opportunity to stock their kits with some of the best products on the market. Some of the pro-focused brands present were Make Up For Ever, Stila, Face Atelier, Smashbox, Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics, Kevyn Aucoin, Yves Saint Laurent, Becca Cosmetics and many, many others. The Makeup Show is more than just a trade show, it provides inspiration, community and necessary education to the artists that attend.

In addition to the pro workshops there are live demos where you can get up close, ask questions and even buy the products used. One of the most popular booths was Xotic Eyes Body Art, they had lots of models and they were VERY creative with their designs. Check out one of their models below (left).

Another benefit of the Makeup Show is checking out the new products. One of my favorite discoveries is actually a something that I was looking for anyway, a summer lotion. I sampled the new Summer Shine Body Lotion by Mario Badescu and I was sold immediately. The lotion gives a subtle (not glittery) shimmer that just illuminates the skin.

This is my second year attending The Makeup Show and needless to say it did not disappoint,  you can check out the 2010 makeup show here and here. Have you attended The Makeup Show before, what was your experience like?

The Makeup Show Korres

Korres was one of the first stations that I visited and while I was there I picked up some makeup removing wipes. It’s my first time trying this product so I will let you know how they work.

These were just a sample of the amazing booths that we showing at The Makeup show. This is certainly a MUST attend event for all professionals in the beauty industry. I was able to sample quite a few products and purchase some as well. I even picked up a complete set of makeup brushes which I cannot wait to try out. Many of the booths provided take home samples so that you can try their products at home, which is nice because really how many products can you test out in one day? I loved every second of it,  swear I died and went to makeup heaven!

More to come…
