Beauty, inspiration and education are coming to Orlando on November 4 and 5 in the first ever The Makeup Show Orlando!  This two day long makeup extravaganza will include brands such as MAKE UP FOR EVER (Diamond Sponsor), Crown Brush and TEMPTU PRO (Platinum Sponsor), and other sponsors including INGLOT, OCC (Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics), Cosmix School of Makeup Artistry, On Makeup Magazine, and The Powder Group.  Also named to be in attendance are Stila Cosmetics, Senna Cosmetics, and Graftobian Makeup Co, and I can’t wait to see what other brands will be there!

Besides playing with makeup, one of my favorite parts of this show are the forums, seminars, and events.  I learned so much when I sat in on these at the NYC show.  It’s a great mix of learning not only makeup technique and advice, but I loved the seminars that focused on business and branding.  I sat in on a forum where we got to listen to the stories of now, successful women in the industry, including Eve Pearl, and Eugenia Weston, creator of Senna Cosmetics.  It was really interesting to hear their struggles and how they got their starts – so motivating and inspirational! 

You can purchase tickets to the show, and also take a look at the different events that are planned for the day through the “Education” tab on the top of the page.  Let me know if you’ll be attending – I will most likely be attending a blogger preview beforehand, so I will be sure to share my inside peek!
