Make-up artists, hairstylists and aestheticians flocked to Vancouver, British Columbia’s first-ever Canadian Makeup Show, held April 4-5 in the city’s Agrodome.

CMS, produced by Industry Cosmetics founder Jeff Saunders, featured student competitions in four different categories and demonstrations of airbrush, make-up effects and bodypainting techniques. Make-up companies also set up shop at the event, to show and sell their products. Keynote speakers included celebrity make-up artists Bill Corso, Sharon Gault, Kevin James Bennett and Roque Cozette, as well as Make-Up Artist magazine publisher Michael Key.

“I think it was a great start for future shows,” Saunders said.

This first show won’t be the last, in other words: as Key announced at the end of his keynote speech, Saunders has handed off the Canadian Makeup Show to Make-Up Artist magazine, which will produce subsequent Vancouver shows under the International Make-Up Artist Trade Show banner.

“The exhibitors are unanimously committed to this market, and that is what convinced me to do an IMATS show in Vancouver,” Key said.

Make-Up Artist magazine will also produce a second Canadian show this fall: the International Make-Up Artist Trade show in Toronto. For more information, go to http://makeupmag.com/imats/.
