Last June, I attended The Makeup Show with a few of my classmates and Miss Trish. It was a great experience & the first time the event was held in my city. I met Reggie Wells (Oprah’s makeup artist & many others) there & he demo’d his latest product (HissyFit) using me as a model & we chatted for about 45min afterward. He’s hilarious, blunt & a lot of fun!

I only purchased a few items because my makeup needs aren’t as grand as my skincare. Don’t get me wrong, I love makeup but at the time I was more in need of essentials like quality makeup brushes than anything else so I purchased several from Crown Brushes. There were no freebies at the Makeup Show but I understood the reasoning. The Makeup Show is frequented by makeup artists, real pros that know what they’re doing & what they want. The number of chicly made up, gorgeous faces walking around that place let you know these ladies & gents mean business. And that’s probably why there were so many celeb makeup artists on the floor, representing their brands as opposed to the Beauty Show where booths were occupied by employees of the brands but not the creators themselves.
The Makeup Show definitely feels more like an industry insider event. Last year, I met Sam Fine, Danessa Myricks & some others. It was quite spectacular & unlike The Beauty Show, there was less pomp & frills filling the aisles. There were makeup demos going on & body airbrushing too. How those girls stand around naked like that is amazing! I mean, sure, they’re technically covered in airbrush art designed to look like they have clothes on but naked is naked honey! Those are some amazing airbrush artists indeed!
So if you haven’t attended The Makeup Show yet, visit the website & check it out & see if they’re coming to your city.
