IMATS- The "INTERNATIONAL MAKEUP ARTIST TRADESHOW"
http://www.imats.net/newyork/newyork_index.php
I went to the NYC 2012 one with my good friend, Lauren who is actually LovelyLaurenTv on Youtube(=
*HAD A GREAT TIME!
* DEF going next year!
What is it?:
- A gathering of people interested in makeup, show makeup, seeing popular beauty guru's from Youtube, & amazing sales & deals on makeup and makeup accessories.
- NO! You do NOT have to be a professional makeup artist to go! You can be ANYBODY (as long as you have a ticket)
Day, time & tickets:
-I would consider going on a Saturday because most guru's go on Saturdays (or both days!) and there are more makeup and stuff on Saturdays, from what I heard. But either day you choose to go on- you will have great time and find amazing deals with a variation of makeup companies- plus its a great experience!
-GO A BIT LATER! Lauren and I actually arrived at IMATS around 11AM even though it began at 8:30 and people began lining up around 7:30! We did not miss a single thing, and the lines were the same and as were the makeup booths! We got much more sleep and time to get ready without a hazzle.
- Buying tickets online is SO much more convenient because...
1. Its half the price
2. You have to wait on longer lines if your purchasing at door
3. You might risk the chance of the tickets being sold out at door
Makeup deals & sales:
*Note: I totally forgot some of the deals because I was so overwhelmed by all the stuff & people, plus I'm making this blog a few weeks after IMATS April 14th 2012.
-Stila: 40& off
-MUFE was NOT there! :( , usually they are the highlight of IMATS!
- Yaby- 3.50 for a single re-fill shadow, 2 for $5 for refill eye shadow pans
- NYX- around 25% off? LINES ARE CRAZY FOR THIS BOOTH! Luckily we went back when the line was small and everyone was seeing KandyJohnson
-Soooo many brush booths, its crazy! From $3 single brushes- $10-100 packs of either travel sized or amazing quality full-size brushes, amazing deals
Other tips-
pack lightly
don't go to early
go back to the booths that have the longest lines
dress lightly
bring camera
:D
Naked pigment swatches
I HOPE THIS HELPED
