Vancouver Makeup and Hair Shows 2009

Makeup Artists and Hairstylists in Vancouver are busy with beauty shows these days!

Early last month I attended the first Canadian Makeup Show held in Vancouver. The Agrodome at PNE hosted over 30 exhibitors, while a dozen seminars were scheduled daily to educate local Makeup Artists on various topics related to our exciting industry, including HD Makeup, techniques for long-lasting Wedding Makeup and TV shows, latest trends in Fashion Makeup etc. Apart from enjoying these seminars, I loved browsing around the exhibition booths. I already have a very equipped and top-quality Makeup and Hair kit, but am always on the look-out for newer, better tools and products.

Then there was the Allied Beauty Association (ABA) Hair Show last week, held at BC Place Stadium. Unfortunately I was not able to attend because of prior commitments. Hopefully I wouldn't have to miss it next year!

If you are interested in Health and Beauty, do check out the Health & Beauty Expo 2009, scheduled to take place at the new Convention Centre at Canada Place on May 8-10, 2009. Here are the "Event Highlights:
