My first time attending the
IMATS (International Makeup Artist Trade Show) was a blast! Imagine a convention center jam packed with 119 cosmetic vendors and 9,000 makeup junkies. Amazing!
I must admit I was quite overwhelmed by sheer abundance of people when I first stepping into the show. Just check out the crowds!
I love brushes so much which is why the
Royal Langnickel Brushes booth was my first stop. Their brushes are exceptional quality and an unbeatable price!
- Large Kabuki (synthetic) $6
- Powder Fluff (natural) $10
- Line & Smudge (natural) $5
- Dome Powder Pointed (natural) $13
- Talkon Contour (synthetic) $8
- Complexion (natural) $10
- Baby Dome (natural) $8
- Small Stippler (synthetic) $7
The quality of these brushes is amazing. They are made from sturdy wood handles and soft dense fibers comparable to MAC's. I'm sure they will last for many years.
Then I browsed through looking at some of the most talked about booths. I bought a couple things from: Naked Beauty, Miss Adore,
Youngblood Cosmetics,
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics &
NYX.
I also had fun meeting the popular YouTube Makeup Gurus like:
Cute sisters Blair & Elle! Check out their channels
here and
here.
The very fun & talented
Kandee Johnson!
And the very creative
Julie G!
These talented young ladies were all so nice and boy were they popular!
Overall the show was much more than I expected. My favorite parts were taking advantage of the discounts at the booths and the fabulous fashion show. Needless to say I will be attending the IMATS again next year!
