This Weekend: The Makeup Show Orlando!

It's that time of year again! The Makeup Show will be in Orlando this weekend and I'll be there with bells on. Will you? Come enjoy amazing makeup education opportunities from industry pros and stock up your makeup kit Saturday, January 30 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, January 31 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency Orlando (9801 International Dr.). Tickets are $45 for one-day pass and $60 for a two-day pass. 

If you're new to this event, wear comfortable shoes, bring your business cards, and prepare to be wowed by all the makeup artistry you're about to see. The Makeup Show is a two-day event "full of inspiration, education, and opportunity for fashion and beauty professionals at all levels of their career to come together with some of the best brands and biggest names in the business." This is a pro-only event that offers top-notch opportunities to learn from industry heavy hitters. Learn their techniques and get insight on how to build a successful makeup career. 

Check out some photos from last year's event below to get a sneak peek at what you can expect to see. And check out recaps from previous shows.
