I would like to start off by saying I am sorry Ive been so busy with everything, so I haven't blogged in awhile!
BUT I had a BLAST at IMATS (international Makeup Artist Trade Show) LA this year, which was my first year. It is going to be a once a year thing for me for sure! I will say Im not planning on taking the greyhound next year tho! My bus was late so I got to LA just as IMATS started..which meant it was time to get dressed in the car!
The first thing I saw when I walked into the doors at the Pasadena Convention Center was a HUGE IMATS sign well.. besides the massive line of hundreds of people! I waited almost a half an hour in line before I got next to this thing!
There were so many people looking great all day long ready to get into huge convention!
While I made a few friends in line talking about how incredibly huge the line had turned out to be we finally made it to the front! Once we walked into "Exhibit Room A" this is what I saw!! I thought I would see makeup first but all I saw was people walking around...and then I saw the makeup :) There was so much to look at and it was like a dream for a makeup artist.
I also got the awesome opportunity to meet one of my favorite makeup artists, Kandee Johnson. She is such a great inspiration to me, and one of the people that helped me stay focused in my own makeup business.
I also met another great inspiration to me, Rae Morris. She is one of the most down to earth people I have ever met. Not only is she incredibly talented but a beautiful human inside and out! She is so much prettier in person...and let me tell you.. shes GORGEOUS in pics. I have pics from meeting her at the after party at the Sheraton, and from her being a keynote speaker at the main stage. I was so exited when we got to ask questions on the cards, only 4 questions from the cards were asked and the first one to my surprise WAS MINE!
and at the end of the trip when i got home...I forgot I ordered E.L.F. stuff! So I ended up having more makeup then I realized after this weekend!
and finally now that Im back at home, I get to finish planning my workshops! I am going to be having a workshop for drags, for evening looks, and maybe more! Follow me on facebook if you want to know information! :)
