Happy Fall Y'all!
Can you believe it's already October?
October is a wonderful month, it is also when my 2 worlds collide!
It is high season in the make up industry and BCAM (breast cancer awareness month)!!
My calendar/book looks like, well-let's just say there is a good bit of ink going on! I love being so busy and balanced in my two worlds because really-it's just who I am! There is so much I want to write about-all of our projects going from presenting Warriors Wear Lipstick to the Young Survivor Coalition (next blog) to the recent marvelous week long Indian wedding we had the honor of working, to this.....
The 2013 Make Up Show!!
Some of you remember that last year all 5 of us Make Up Mavens went as a group and had a blast. This year Margaret and I had the opportunity to go together and it did NOT disappoint!
I could write a book, but here are the highlights!
The Make Up Show is a show that includes the industry's top make up artists,
best brands, and exclusive exhibitors! It is simply mind blowing the people you are meeting and networking with. They are global artist at the top of their game, and most of them are famous in the own right much less their clientele. They are the most humble group of people you will find. There were hands on classes and workshops, as well as seminars and keynote speakers-giving life changing speeches. I still can't believe I had the honor of actually asking THE Billy B a question in which he graciously answered. We met so many amazing people last year (that we keep in frequent touch with) and this year, we added to the list. Along with Johnny Lavoy, James Vincent, Michael DeVellis-we got to meet and learn from Billy B and Orlando Santiago! Billy B's class was life changing!
It is also a time to network and SHOP for all the latest and greatest products out there!
This year, we were smart and went in with a game plan, a well thought out list, and a BUDGET!! We would make our rounds and then step aside to collaborate. We wanted to make wise choices and we felt we did! I found so many fabulous products and tools and a new kit and airbrush system (more on that later)!
We also met some fabulous new friends from Serenity & Scott (a sleek uber cool all vegan brand),Inglot, Stila, Make Up Forever, Nigels Beauty, NARS, Ellis Faas, Kett, and Kevyn Aucoin! Those were just a few of our favorites!
All in all in was a wonderful trip with the just the right combination of education and inspiration!
Next year, we are clearing our schedules for The Artist Summit! It will be here before we know it. We were grateful for the opportunity to attend The Make Up Show and represent our wonderful community of MUA here in good ole Charleston!
Here are a few pics from our trip-until next time!! xo
