My Day at The Makeup Show New York City 2012

May 16, 2012

Beauty addicts and professional Makeup Artists convened at The Makeup Show NYC this past weekend at the Metropolitan Pavilion. The event was packed full of dream seminars by top beauty industry leaders, exclusive product launches, and the latest makeup and beauty trends.

Renowned makeup brands like Smashbox, NARS, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Make Up For Ever and Stila were attendees as well as smaller brands like Biobliss and Naked Cosmetics. The show consisted of several floors that patrons had access to that consisted of presentations, vendor booths and live demonstrations. Attendees also had the opportunity to sit in on classes taught by their favorite makeup artists and to re-stock their kits or sign up for pro memberships.

The Crown Brush booth is always a Makeup Show favorite, I got there early before the mad rush of people! I already have my full set of Crown Brushes no need to purchase any this time but it’s always fun to check out what’s new.

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Eyeshadow

Of course I had to stop by the Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics booth to check out their glamorous eyeshadow and new lip tars.

BioBliss at the Makeup Show New York City 2012

While walking through The Makeup Show I always like to check out new brands and I came across Biobliss and chatted with their representative. Biobliss is said to help rejuvenate and tighten skin as well as help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The product helps your daily serum penetrate deep into your skin in 45 minutes, shortening your overall treatment time; I think I need to try this!

I stopped by Naked Cosmetics to look at their latest loose mineral eyeshadows, they were gorgeous! I became a fan of Naked Cosmetics at the last Makeup Show, they always have a nice selection of shades.

It wouldn’t be The Makeup Show without super glamorous, over the top, fantasy eyelashes. Even though I wouldn’t wear these daily they’re like mini works of art.

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.

Getting Lippy: A Perfect Pout with Beauty for Real

April 4, 2011

Many of the Spring season trends have been bold and beautiful colors and makeup has been no exception. Two of the most sought after lip shades this season are Coral and Honeysuckle and Beauty for Real has created two new shades that deliver a fresh pop of color combined with a super shiny hydrating formula. I first learned about Beauty for Real at The Makeup Show in New York City where I received a sample of their new gloss. I feel in love instantly with the minty, tingly and incredibly hydrating formula but I also loved that the lip gloss tubes have mirrors AND an LED light for those touch ups in dark club corners.

Beauty for Real glosses are power packed with green tea and grape seed extracts as well as Aloe Vera, avocado oil and Marine collagen. Green tea and grape seed extracts are full of anti-oxidants that contain anti-aging and regenerative properties. This formula is so hydrating that I can apply it directly to my dry lips and they are super soft within minutes.

I received a sample of two of Beauty for Reals new Spring colors are I was stoked! The shades are fairly pigmented with a glittery shimmer. The colors reflect this seasons’ runway trends, like All Fired Up which is a sheer yet warm coral and Kiss Me, a Honeysuckle pink which I found to be extremely flattering.

Both shades are are prefect for a Spring pout. Would you agree?
