The Makeup Show New York 2013: New Beauty Products & Workshops Offered

The best parts about The Makeup Show New York 2013 are that it offers quality hands-on workshops, and exclusive access to new and innovative beauty products.

As I was going through the list of hands-on workshops, which cost $135 each, a lot of the ones I wanted to take are sold out, such as ‘Ideal Eyes’ with Danessa Myricks, and two classes with Jon Hennessey: ‘Makeup for Photography’ and ‘Red Carpet Beauty and Beyond’.  There is this Danessa Myricks class I may take, but will probably have to miss work for…
