IMATS London 2013


Just last week I attended the International Makeup Artist Trade Show in London.   Never having been to a trade show before, I was blown away by the sheer amount of cool things in one space.  Here are some of the great things I saw:

Seeing this in real life kind of made me freak out.  I've always loved watching this makeup on Doctor Who.
Rihanna's makeup artist Karin Darnell did a little tutorial.  Her main advice?
"Never settle for the most boring.  Just play.  Always push that touch too far.  Do your thing."  


Painted people were walking around everywhere.  

The student competition was so much fun to watch progress through the day.

Neill Gorton (who has done many many great things, including Doctor Who) working on an old age prosthetic makeup.  He applied this makeup in front of hundreds in lightning speed and it looked incredible.  I was a bit starstruck to see him.

We all know this was the scariest/weirdest part of Empire Strikes back.

van Gogh on this man's body.

The showroom floor.  It was a madhouse.  I spent so much money on makeup here.
Success.  Until next time, London IMATS!
