IMATS NYC 2014

IMATS NYC 2014 !!!

 
Hey thereeeee :-) so I just got back from IMATS NYC almost 2 weeks ago and it was a experience I will never forget! I'm not even sure where to begin with the madness of makeup and art. Lets see..... I traveled to NYC with two of my girlfriends that enjoy makeup just as much as I do to this event. We all took a mega bus from Baltimore and drove all the way up to New York! it only was a 4 hour drive which wasn't that bad. Once we arrived in the city and got to the location we needed to be at.. the line for the entrance was basically flooding onto the public side walks! IT WAS INSANE! but we finally made it in the doors :-) :-) :-) once we made it in.. I had no idea where to start! they had so many booths and makeup stands in every corner it was very hard to pick and choose where you wanted to explore first. The only downfall with IMATS is the lines for some of the more "popular" stands usually take 2-3 hours to stand in which wasn't what I was going to do. Soooooo..... my friends and I just jumped into the NYX stand which took about 25-30 minutes. Afterwards we ran over to the makeup forever booth which was surprisingly not long at all and we picked up our goodies and left to go venture off to other places. Since the whole entire building was SOOOO hot and my friend didn't get the foundation she really wanted from that booth.... we decided to go off into the city to MAC and do some looking there. Once I got to MAC I realized how disgusting and gross I looked since all of my makeup SWEATED off.. I just decided to wipe my makeup off in the middle of the store and redo it lol anyways... we grabbed a bite to eat and went back to pier 94 where the event was being held. We got back into the building and went straight to the Sigma line to meet my favorite Beauty Guru on YouTube Carli Bybel <3 if anyone knows me they know how much I am COMPLETELY obsessed with Carli and how excited I was to finally meet her. We got in line at 1:30 and after 30 minutes passed by we realized that we were in the WRONG line for the meet and greet -___- so with the time we wasted we had to run to the correct line for Carli's fans. We waited in line until 4:00 to meet Carli! it was the most insane thing ever but it was SOOOO worth it! Once I met Carli I was so excited! Words cannot even explain how I felt. She is someone I truly look up to and admire so much <3 so meeting her face to face was worth every minute and hour! She is one of the sweetest people ever and is not only beautiful on camera but is even more STUNNING in person! it was a surreal moment for sure. I will for sure be doing this again next year! I can't wait.

Everyday eyeshadow!

EVERYDAY EYE SHADOW!

Heyyyyy everyone! I haven't always done a eye shadow look in awhile so I figured I would do something simple. It's pretty easy and something I can always do in 5 minutes and I'm out of the door. I always tend to stick with neutral colors because they go with everything! so if you wanna figure out how I do this everyday look then keep reading :-)

Sorry about the mascara on my lids! ekkk I thought I got it all off but whoopiesss... just excuse that lol and btw.. Im really shakey when it comes to putting on my liquid eyeliners so just excuse the non perfect lines as well :)

These are where your 3 main colors are going to go!

I used MAC'S 6 color shadow called snowglobe!

Take this cream/off white color and place it all over your lid and your brow bone.

This color is a bronzey color and you are going to place that all in your crease and blend it all in!

From my picture above with the eye shadows on my lid.. I placed this in the inner corner just to add some more color! BLEND BLEND BLEND! you don't want to look like a weirdo with some red eye shadow smacked in the corner of your lid!

For the final step... I took this dark brown color and used it in my outter V!

 

That's all for now :-) I should be updating very soon since I will be heading to New York this weekend with some friends to attend a event called IMATS! (International Make-up Artist Trade Show) Its full of YouTube Beauty Guru's, high end make-up that is discounted, beauty classes and so much more! I'm so excited to attend.. it's my first year going and I think I might pass out just thinking about how excited I am. I'll be sure to post pictures :-) If you guys aren't sure what it is and wanna find out.. I'll link some videos of some of my favorite Beauty Guru's that vlogged their IMATS experiences!
