2012 - What a year!
Last
week marked our final show for 2012, in Orlando, and what a show it
was. Orlando, the Sunshine State, is a great place, a great community
with great artistry that lent to a great show.
Our
week started in NYC with Superstorm Sandy coming in, putting a stop
to all of our planning for Orlando, with our office closed and our
phones down, so the makeup show team worked from one small apartment
managing and trying to put it all together before the weekend. Due to
our flights being canceled we had decided to drive to Orlando to make
sure we got there in time and were able to put on a great show for you
all. Seventeen hours later we arrived at The Peabody Hotel and we
started our setup, making the show as best as we could, all while some
of our brands weren’t able to get from the NY/NJ area to Orlando in
time.
We opened our doors Sunday to a
great day, with some of the best brands and artists on the floor,
Florida artists showed up, and gave their support to us like no
others. It was great to see that all seminars and classes were full at
all times with amazing artists trying to learn and get some new tips
on techniques and products from the brands. Our show floor was packed by
10 a.m. with eager attendees and some of the great artists who call
Orlando home or frequently work there, including Corey Castellano,
Johnny Lavoy and Maurice Stein in our keynote area. The day couldn’t
be any more perfect!
Monday started
with AJ Crimson taking the keynote main stage, followed by Nick and
Brian Wolfe and finally Michael DeVellis along with a show floor full
of artists who couldn’t be any better than what we wished for. We
want to thank the artist community in Orlando who welcomed us and
showed us their appreciation. I am truly thankful for the support.
What
a year 2012 was. Starting with the LA show, which was our best LA
show ever, to NY, our jewel, then Chicago and Berlin, both second year
shows, and finishing with our newest show, Orlando.
This
year marked our biggest year yet and we are so thankful to you all
for attending and supporting our shows like you do every year, and
helping us strive to be better, and welcoming this community like no
other. Each show, year after year, gets so much support from our
attendees, brands and sponsors, and we truly couldn’t have done this
without thanking you all.
A big thank
you to our sponsors, without them we couldn’t have grown so much. Make
Up For Ever our diamond sponsor, Temptu PRO and Crown Brush our
Platinum sponsors, and Inglot, Stila, Smashbox, Make-Up Designory,
NARS, Alcone, Cosmix, The Powder Group, On Makeup Magazine and World
Body Painting Festival, we are so thankful for the support you give us
wherever we go. To all the brands that have been with us every year
for the last 6 years, you guys are the cement of the show, and what
makes it such a great event!
For 2013,
we have an amazing year planned for you all. Marking our 5th
Anniversary in LA, March 2nd and 3rd, we are happy to welcome Premier
Products introducing their new area to the show, as well as more
special effects brands and artists. Stay tuned for more exciting
announcements for a show that is not to be missed. The NYC Show, which
will be May 5th and 6th – in its 7th year, will have an amazing
lineup of beauty and fashion artists and brands, and will continue to
include our Career Fair.
Chicago is
June 9th and 10th in a new home! Stay tuned for the announcement of
our new space. We are so happy to return to this great city and
community.
The Makeup Show Europe will
also mark some new changes. We love Berlin and will be back in future
for sure, but we are glad to announce the show in 2012 will be held in
London, in September. Don’t miss our news about this show, coming
soon.
Finally, Orlando will be held in November 2013 for its second year, to be bigger and better. Date TBD.
I
want to thank all those people that make every day and every show
possible for us. A special thank you to those key artists that
support us every year, and never say no, no matter what I ask of them –
Johnny Lavoy, Maurice Stein, Michael DeVellis, Pati Dubroff, AJ
Crimson, Eugenia Weston, and Billy B, thank you all so much for your
continued support.
To conclude, I want
to thank The Makeup Show Family, without them I would be lost, Jon
Hennessey, Kathy Aragon, Danessa Myricks, Esterique Aidan, and Orlando
Santiago, I love you all.
Thank you
Sophia Fernandez, Eve Taylor, Merlo Faundez, LaQuanna Chong, Bethany
Townes and finally to Amanda Wein and James Vincent, for working
hard daily to make this a show to remember in each and every city.
We hope to see you all in 2013, and are looking forward to bringing you some amazing opportunities in the year to come.
Happy Holidays,
Shelly Taggar
VP, Owner of The Makeup Show
