The Makeup Show, the annual pro-driven beauty event that brings makeup professionals and top brands together for education and inspiration, is about to get even better. In addition to the highly anticipated show that travels to top cities across the country, The Makeup Show will now host The Makeup Show Pro Awards, an annual awards series that allows makeup professionals the opportunity to give their favorite products a little industry love.
The Makeup Show Pro Awards is a unique series because, like the show itself, it is pro-driven. Where most awards poll the public on their favorite products, The Makeup Show Pro Awards is entirely curated by and voted upon by industry professionals and serious makeup enthusiasts. The products nominated for recognition in the Pro Awards are true industry favorites! The awards show consists of eleven categories, each category representing a different type of product, and each company that participates in at least one show during 2017 is eligible to nominate a product.
But that’s not all! To kick off the debut of the awards, The Makeup Show is hosting the first ever Trend Event on February 7, 2017 in NYC. The Trend Report will give makeup professionals a sneak peek of 2017’s hottest trends and most exciting product launches, and the On Trend event that follows will be a celebration of all to come at The Makeup Show in the new year. This will be an excellent opportunity for artists to network with editors, brand executives and influencers.
Award categories include:
- Tools of the Trade
- Prep and Prime
- About Face
- Concealer Weapon
- High Brow
- The Eyes Have It
- Lash Out
- Red Lip
- Perfect Palette
- Cult Favorites
- New Kid on the Block
