I have been dragging my feet posting my experience at The Makeup Show Chicago. I've been in a writing rut, I suppose. But, I just realized that the show was three weeks ago so this is MORE than overdue. I'm going to start with a post from Alia, the winner of my giveaway. I asked her to contribute a post sharing her experience at the show with everyone. It was her first time attending The Makeup Show and I really wanted to hear, in her words, what she took away from it.
I had read blogs and articles about the Makeup Show in NY and LA never thinking it was possible to attend so early in my MUA pursuits. Then I learned that the show was coming to Chicago and I became determined to attend. I remembered Azia positing about the show and when I saw her contest video on YouTube I knew I had to enter. I audibly gasped when I woke up on Wednesday and saw that I had won a ticket! Woohoo, I was on my way to Chicago!
It was AWESOME! From the blogger preview that I was allowed to attend on Saturday, to meeting and hanging with fellow MUAs and people that I had admired from afar, it was all that I imagined it would be. I don’t know if it was the love of the artistry or happiness over having a show that prominent in the Midwest, but the energy was so great! I got the opportunity to purchase some items for my kit and try some new products in the market. I attended the Mastering Makeup Skills, Makeup Must Haves for Every Kit and Working in the Midwest & Beyond seminars. I also had the pleasure to attend the keynote presentations by Mr. Sam Fine and Maurice Stein, founder of Cinema Secrets. My passion and excitement for makeup artistry was magnified a million times over by this event and if you have the chance to attend one in the future, you MUST, MUST, MUST go! Thanks Azia!
