Sorry I have not blogged in awhile. At first, I just needed a break. Then family came over and it became harder to come back. I will try my best to blog three times a week.

With that said, I was fortunate to attend The Makeup Show California Long Beach on October 1st.

This past weekend, November 10-11, 2018, I attended The Makeup Show. I've been attending this show for the past several years. It's probably my favorite. The show is targeted towards professionals not the public. I love knowing that I'm surrounded by people who are in the industry who knows the ins and outs.

On March 19, 2016, I went to The Makeup Show. Unfortunately, I couldn't go both days. I needed the Sunday to rest since I've been fighting this sickness over a month now. Don't worry I got antibiotics today after going to urgent care (my mouth was sealed from dryness from strep throat). Anyways, the first place I went to was Blogger Preview. They usually have it on Fridays but I guess some people suggested Saturdays. I'm not too sure why but I actually liked it on Fridays.

James Vincent, Director of Education and Artistry for The Makeup Show, Tips for 2016

The runway and red carpet have given us some new twists on classic trends this season that allow the makeup wearer to make a choice based on individuality which is always exciting!

Trend: Candy Apple Red Lips
The classic vintage allure of red lips is timely and timeless and can be worn by anyone, anywhere and anytime. Try combining a bold blue red lipstick with a warmer red gloss for a lip look that is alluring on anyone. Combining the two undertones makes the lip flattering for any face. If you are afraid to try a bold red try staining on the lip in a more sheer application or a gorgeous red gloss. A few of my favorites for lipstick are NARS Audacious Lipsticks, Besame Lipsticks with a vintage inspiration or OCC Makeup Liptar in NSFW. For a gloss Inglot Cosmetics has a wide array of shades.

Before I talk about my second day at The Makeup Show, please check out Part 1 of The Makeup Show Los Angeles 2014. For Part 2 I wanted to focus on The Makeup Show itself. Knowing I won't be attending for Saturday and Sunday, I wanted to spend Saturday shopping and attending the classes. Let me tell you, it did not go by my plan! I wanted to be there first thing when it opens, but I woke up at 11:30 a.m. Two and yes, two alarm clocks did not wake me up. Knowing that I did not have enough time, I went to the convention with no makeup and not eating anything. I just did not want to miss anything with the limited time I have.

Before I start my Part 2 of The Makeup Show LA 2013, check out my Part 1 (Opening Party). I had an amazing night of meeting new people, being surrounded by professionals, creative piece of arts (face chart and human models), and best of all sharing one common interest in the beauty world.

Now for Part 2... The first day of The Makeup Show! Everywhere you go, you're surrounded by makeup booths. Here are some of the booths I took.

This is the 5th year of The Makeup Show in LA, Los Angeles. I attended both Friday night and Saturday. Friday night, March 1st, was the "Opening Party." It's so exciting to see the talent of the professionals and upcoming professionals. That's the one thing I love about The Makeup Show. It's dedicated to people in the industry!

One of the contest they had this year was face chart. I only took pictures of my two favorites.

This is continuation of Part 1 of The Makeup Show in LA. So Saturday and Sunday was the convention. I only attended Saturday, March 17. Everywhere you looked, you saw makeup. It's definitely a playground for beauty bloggers like myself! :)

This weekend was The Makeup Show, March 17 & 18, in LA. I've heard about this event/convention the last several years. I finally got to attend it and I was not disappointed! I met great people, attended the party, saw beautiful work of arts, saw professional makeup artists, got swag bag, and best of all makeup everywhere you looked. It was exciting and fun!!! :)

It started early, March 16, with blogger preview and cocktail party. This post is dedicated for that night. For the blogger preview, famous makeup artist Pati Prema Dubroff answered questions and applied makeup on her assistant.
