Ahhh, it's that time of year again.  The time I look forward to every year.  What am I referring too?  The NYC Makeup Show.  This is one of the most well known makeup industry events in NYC and across the country.  I always look forward to previewing the new collections and trends from such brands as Makeup Forever, Becca Cosmetics, Inglot, Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics and MAC, just to name a very few.  I also look forward to new and upcoming brands that will be unveiled.  Oh, did I mention the shopping?  Artists can shop for ALL things for their kits.  Makeup afficiandos can rack up for their personal stash. Because the show is a pro event, items are discounted.  One year a friend and I came home with a whole set of foundation for bridal makeup at a price, we normally wouldn't be able to afford!  Not for a whole set, anyway.
