Last weekend, The Makeup Show came to Chicago and I had the chance to attend the Blogger Preview on Saturday. I headed back on Monday and had the pleasure of sitting in on Career GPS with Billy B. He spoke candidly about being a makeup artist in the current industry and gave so many bits of sage advice. He has long relationships with Lada Gaga and Mariah Carey, just to name a few. As a lover of the beauty industry and someone who is searching to find “my place” and direction in the world, my notes from his chat will be invaluable. One of my favorite tidbits from Billy B: Be fearless. Figure it out along the way. He advised not to let our worries and what-ifs hold us back. I felt that 99% of the advice Billy B. offered could be applied to anyone in life, not just folks steering themselves through a beauty industry career. It was a very enlightening hour and a half.
Then it was time to do some shopping and photo snapping! Here’s a look at what I purchased:
Also, here’s a look at the wonderful items in the gift bag at the Blogger Preview:
I can’t wait to put all of these new goodies in my routine! See all of the photos from The Makeup Show on my Facebook page.
The dates for The Makeup Show 2013 are already up and they are coming to 5 locations, if you are in the industry go see if they will be near you!
Nice haul Tina! 🙂 I wish there were events like this in my city but we are too small (in Australia, almost everything happens in Sydney or Melbourne only).
