Over 75 beauty brands and top celebrity makeup artists -- from Jordan Liberty to Roshar -- came together to set industry trends, discuss hot beauty topics, and learn from the best in the industry.
The Sunshine State set a successful stage this year for the The Makeup Show Orlando. On March 18th and 19th, The Hyatt Regency Orlando once again played house to the largest pro-driven beauty event in the world. In its 5th year, The Makeup Show Orlando welcomed 4,000 pros for the most inspiring weekend of beauty, inspiration and education. These pro artists joined together to not only shop exclusive discounts from more than 75 beauty brands, but to receive an overwhelming amount of inspiration from nearly 60 keynote speakers and seminars!
“The Makeup Show is not only a trade show or just a place to shop and take classes, it is a place to get inspired, get focused, to be among other industry peers, and share your knowledge and experience and love of makeup. The Makeup Show has given artists opportunity and has changed so many people's lives, and that makes me very proud. Having 4,000 attendees come through the door in one weekend is a true testament to why we bring this show to five markets each year. We are looking forward to continuing this trend in 2017 with our next stop in NYC, and following that Chicago, Dallas, and Los Angeles.” Shelly Taggar, Owner of The Makeup Show
