Australia’s “ultimate professional makeup, hair and beauty event” will be launched in Sydney in February.
According to organisers Scott Lattimer, and Eliza Campagna, The Show Sydney will “be so much more than a typical trade show” with a line-up of “world-class makeup, hair and beauty experts and brands” to showcase the latest in trends, technology and techniques.
Eliza, who has 16 years’ experience as a TV makeup artist, says the two-day event has been created “to be an educational platform that will provide a unique retail experience showcasing the best in class brands and artists across hair, makeup and beauty”.
“Beyond our fabulous educational presentations, attendees will be able to view and purchase the latest and greatest industry and consumer products and tools,” she says.
“It’s a fantastic opportunity for career inspiration, retail therapy, and interactive education with some of the world’s finest talent.”
Scott, the CEO of Scotty’s Makeup and Beauty Supplies and the Australian College of Make Up and Special Effects, adds that the Show is “not limited to one category, or level of experience”.
“Our mission is to provide professionals, enthusiasts to students and beauty lovers with the opportunity to equip themselves with the latest techniques from all areas, under the one roof.”
