Chicago asked and The Makeup Show answered.  We wanted to have The Makeup Show visited Chicago biannually like they do for other markets.  November 2016 Makeup Show being the largest ever was the kick out to the professional show revisiting for second time in six month.  The theme of this Makeup show was 3 fold.  The business of Bridal Beauty, Artist’s Kit Building and Makeup in the social media space.

A Real Urban Mom

As always crowds were waiting for the doors to open.  Lovers of all things makeup come to The Makeup Show to learn,  to shop and reunite with their makeup friends.  This show would be no different.  Shelly Taggar, co-founded The Makeup Show and now the sol owner.  She wanted to created a place for beauty industry insiders to learn, network and explore beauty brands and categories. In 10 years she took The Makeup Show, along with her team to 6 cities around the globe and continues to grow the brand around the world.

James Vincent has become the face of The Makeup Show.  James is the director of Artistry for The Makeup Show were he develops all of the education at the show.  At this show he introduced Danessa Myricks Beauty to The Makeup Show.  James also spoke about The Makeup Show’s Chicago charity Deborah’s Place.  Deborah’s Place opens doors of opportunity for women who are homeless in Chicago. Supportive housing and services offer women their key to healing, achieving their goals and moving on from the experience of homelessness.  This weekends show has been fund raising to support.  You can find out how to help here.

The Makeup show added “The Makeup Play Area.”  This specifically designed area offers the ideal environment for artists of all experience levels to be introduced to new product,  practice and improve their makeup skills, explore and play with product provided by The Makeup Show brands and interact with other artists in a fun environment and under the guidance of brand experts and The Makeup Show team of experienced artists.  It’s a great place to touch and try products.

I did a little shopping.  With so many brands in attendance I did a lot of shopping.  I visited a few of my favorite brands.  After shopping I attended James Vincent and two of Chicago area social media stars.  On a panel aimed to study the power and influence that social media has on today’s beauty industry were Jaz Jackson and Ivy Dear.

I picked up some of Tress Mink Lashes in fierce kitten, MARIO BADESCU Facial Spray With Aloe, Herb and Rosewater, a Mustaevusa mood therapy mask in sadness, among a few other things.
