My experience at The Make-Up Show in Chicago was AMAZING! I met so many wonderful professional artists, freelance artists, and newbies galore. This event was by far one of the most amazing events I've ever attended, because I got to meet and see people who were interested and oh-so passionate about the one thing I LOVE, make-up!
At the show I had the opportunity to meet self-help author, educator, motivational speaker and advisor to freelance styling professionals, Crystal Wright; Oprah Winfrey's Make-Up Artist, Reggie Wells (have a great story to tell on that meeting...LOL!), uber-talented Make-Up Artist Sam Fine (my absolute fave), red carpet walkin, face beatin, tell it like it is Make-Up Artist Joanna Schlip; amazingly talented Mehron artist and creator of the Paradise Collection for Mehron Make-Up Artist Ginny Houle and a host of other amazing awesome people that I will be featuring on the blog over the next few weeks.
Words can't describe how AWESOME my day was at The Make-Up Show in Chicago...it's just one of those things you have to BE THERE to really understand where I'm coming from. Below, I've posted some pics to give you a taste of what you missed!
I can't wait to share some of the tips I learned over the next few weeks...you'll be amazed by all the things you can do with what you have at home and you don't even have to be a pro to do it!
Enjoy the pics, lovelies...
Ciao!
XOXO
