IMATS: International Makeup Artist Trade Show

The International Makeup Artist Trade Show, also known as IMATS, happened last last Saturday, June 25, 2011, at Pasadena.

There were all kinds of makeup brands and beauty products that were present. It was my first time to attend this event. And I have to say that it was a really great experience.

I got to see different perspectives of everything that has something to do with beauty and makeup. I witnessed people get transformed into something unique and fantastic. I'm even thinking about attending Cinema Makeup School in Hollywood when I graduate high school next year. It seems like a great opportunity and I'd love to work in the film industry.

Okay, enough talk! I want to show you guys EVERYTHING that I saw. Let's go!
(I'm sorry if it's kind of blurry, I wanted to make them big so ya'll can see it!)








This was the very first thing I went to!
I love fixing hairs and trying different hairstyles.
I have really long hair right now, but lately, I've been wanting to cut it.
So hair extensions would be perfect if I do end up cutting my hair.









Hair Accessories!
I love headbands, but not as much as much as my sister. She's basically obssessed with them.


Hair feather extensions
I got one in the color of pink.
I'll be doing a review on it. :D









Royal and Langnickel
I was invited to their "Royal Treatment" Media Event that happened on June 24.
I wasn't able to attend but it was good to see all of them at IMATS.
They were extremely nice.

















Senna
I also got a lipstick from them.
I'll be doing a review on it as well.






Look all of these glittery eye shadows!
I'm obssessed with sparkles.





































Cinema Makeup School in Hollywood.
After witnessing this, I am considering attending Cinema Makeup School and learning how to create this. It's insane right?





I wouldn't mind having this for a career. It'd be totally rad.









Goodbye IMATS! See you again next year.
I had the best of time. :)

Have you ever been to IMATS?! How did you like it?
