IMATS NYC 2011

When I heard that the International Makeup Artist Trade Show ( IMATS) was going to be in New York for the very first time this year I booked my tickets 6 months in advance. I got my friends Arturo ( who ended up not going due to a new job position) , Malinda and Cecile to come with me. Take note that this is my very first makeup show so excited was an understatement.

It was a very hectic 2 days but it was so worth the driving time and effort to actually be there. Will post a summary of what I purchased at the show ( that would be a whole new blog entry). I'm excited for The MakeUp Show in May 2011.
