Event Recap: The Makeup Show 2011

Event Recap - The Makeup Show - Metropolitan Pavilion - May 15-16, 2011

The Makeup Show NYC "brings the makeup artistry together to create a community that meets the needs of every artist at all levels of their career." This year education and networking were the focal points for the show, and the goal was indeed met! FAB was on the scene to attend exclusive seminars, capture pictures and experience to-die-for discounts! From the legendary Makeup Artist Reggie Wells to the Creative Founder of Makeup Forever Dany Sanz, The Makeup Show brought together the best of the best and gave us front row seats to learn! learn! learn! There were over 3,000 attendees present - largest crowd to date!

I was so eager to share my experience, that I tweeted live during the show (check me out at @stylesj) and gave my twitter followers the inside juice! Now it's your turn . . . check out the FAB pics to view my version of The Makeup Show NYC!
