Welcome to The Makeup Show 2010! This amazing trade show has attracted over 12,000 visitors, over 200 brands and over 100 presenters over the years. Here is a look inside some of the amazing beauty brands that have inspired beauty aficionados and makeup artists everywhere.

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.

The Mehron booth absolutely captivated my attention.

A demo at the Mehron booth, gorgeous!

Face Atelier was in the building with some very exciting news – they launched a line for women of color at The Makeup Show!

Here are the swatches from the new line ~

Smashbox had a stand a computer kiosks set up so that attendees were able to sign up for their pro discount on the spot!

MAC Cosmetics had several live model demos.

Paperself showcased their beautiful paper eyelashes  inspired by the art of Chinese papercutting. These were absolutely beautiful.

MUD – Makeup Designory was there and their MUA’s helped me pick out a new foundation.

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!
