The Makeup Show in NYC!
I just returned from New York City where I was at The Makeup Show, a massive trade show full of makeup companies and educational classes. My good friend James Vincent and Shelly Taggar of the Metropolitan Events Pavilion had me come out for the event. I taught a class with renown makeup artist Jon Hennessey. It was in intro class for makeup artists that wanted to experience an editorial shoot. Jon performed some makeup demos and then I shot each model under strobe lighting and digitally brought the image up on a large monitor so that students could see their work first hand. Its really amazing to see how much detail you miss after a couple of strobe heads pop an image to life. The class emphasized the attention to detail and versatility that an editorial makeup artist should posses. The class was fantastic and everyone had a really good time. The students walked away with a lot of information and a really valuable experience. The Show itself had an endless trade show of makeup companies who were showcasing their new products and doing plenty of demos.
Wow. I would DIE to go to a makeup show like that! You are so lucky!
