For nearly 20 years, The Makeup Show has been serving the industry with events dedicated to education, inspiration and community. As one of the largest pro-focused beauty event in the U.S., the show draws together celebrity, pro, union and amateur makeup artists, beauty brand executives, cosmetic buyers, beauty writers, professional models, students and industry leaders to develop skills and industry awareness, test and purchase products and build their personal and professional networks.
