Hello all you lovely readers. I have missed you, I'm looking forward to writing a few more posts so stay tuned for a lot of reviews to be coming in the next few weeks! And maybe even a cheeky ootd or fotd post :)
Sunday 6th October I was invited to the annual
Makeup Show Live event in The Hilton London Metropole Hotel. Makeup Show Live (MSL) is a international
road show created to deliver education and empowerment to those who attend, it
is an interactive makeup and beauty expedition open to all. There is a chance
to purchase tickets from standard to VIP’s (with VIP’s getting access
everywhere). Luckily with my press pass I too was able to access every corner
of the expedition and even got to chill out in a press room. The doors opened
at 11am and the event lasted all day ending at 7:30pm.
From the moment you entered the event you had the chance to
soak up all of the great brands that was exhibiting such as Diamond Blend, AJ
Crimson, Motives, Flori Roberts and Cherry Coco. It was lovely to network with
the brands and others amongst the crowd.
The day was set up with a show schedule as there was so much going on at
set times, the event had different rooms to showcases particular things.
Paul Herrington started the show with his talk on
high-street versus high-end brands. He explained with a tutorial how we can
create a high-end look with high-street brands such as MUA. He also gave us an exclusive inside scoop
that MUA will be coming out with a new collection at the end of the month
called Luxe.

The Pread Room held all the master-classes for the day from
the likes of Kristine Toce, Chanel Boateng and Marta Gacka. The Exhibition hall
hosted all the brands showcasing as well as talks from Paul Herrington and Dr
Diane Keith, and interviews with Eryca Freemantly, Alisha White and many more.
And finally the Main stage held all the seminars from the likes of AJ Crimson,
Nikki Taylor and Phyllis Cohen. So it was handy to hold on to the schedule to
know what was going on at what time.
I particularly loved the master-class hosted by Makeup
Artist Chanel Boateng on ‘’Makeup for Black and Asian skin’’ where she took the
time to demonstrate on a model as well as talking us through knowing what type
of skin you have, revealing how to determine your undertone colour and a list
of brands that would work best with complimenting your skin. I also enjoyed the
seminar by Makeup Artist AJ Crimson. He gave a talk on how he built his career
and the secret to his success is determination! He also filled us in on tips
and tricks of the trade with a tutorial on how to create a natural look with a
smoky eye. He then spoke to us about his own makeup brand, which he had
launched. I just had to grab my pen and notepad at these occasions to write
down notes, as I knew I wouldn't get this chance again!

The exhibition ended with a catwalk and presentation by
makeup artists and performances from the likes of Javine Hylton, D Lux, Project
G and Class A.
There was such a beautiful atmosphere at MSL this year. Will
you be going to the next one?
