The Makeup Show NY: Keynotes, Seminars and more

Another highlight of the event was of course the education. Some of the best makeup artists in the industry took main stage to bring a flood of inspiration over the pro-community, including Dick Page, Pati Dubroff, Brook Wall, Gina Brooke, Brigitte Reiss-Andersen, and Mathu Andersen. Makeup Artists also joined social media experts from Gorgeous in Grey, Beautylish, The Makeup Girl, and This That Beauty to learn about how they can use the Internet and social media to build their artistry business and take it to the next level.
