My Overall Opinion of The Makeup Show, NYC

Overall, The Makeup Show did very well in planning this event, particularly in areas of marketing and getting the venue set up and ready to go for the day and time of the event.

As I was creating the checklist for this event to discover what they did well, I was able to see that they handled their marketing and advertising aspects very well as they welcomed a huge amount of people at the event. They were able to find makeup artists, brands, and vendors to support the event and sponsor them, and they advertised well to their target markets.

The event planners did quite well at purchasing equipment, supplies and products for this event as well as all the administrative tasks. The event planners seemed to do everything possible to ensure this event was successful.

The thing I love most about this event is that there are so many things going on within the two days it is scheduled for. From networking with other beauty enthusiasts and shopping for trending beauty products, to watching live makeup demonstrations and listening to amazing beauty business advice from the experts in this industry.

I love the fact that there is also a wide range of skills the artists will be teaching at this event such as how to work with dark skin, skincare techniques, colour cosmetics, airbrush, and FX makeup, and even body art techniques.

It is certainly a unique and inspiring beauty event that will help new and emerging makeup artists and beauty-enthusiasts to gain confidence and learn new things. The things to be learned here are so valuable because you can take what you learn at this event, at take it with you as you incorporate it into your own beauty business.

This beauty event, based in New York City is a remarkable way to learn everything you can about this industry and more. I hope one day I can attend this event because of all the learning experiences and knowledge that I would gain.
