GUESS WHAT? I'M GOING TO IMATS TORONTO!!! I've never been before. I'm so excite. IMATS stands for the International Make-Up Artist Trade Show. In essence, it's a big convention of make-up artists, make-up lovers, and exhibitors. Self-proclaimed "the make-up world's biggest gathering to discuss, display and collect the best the industry has to offer". I fall into the "make-up lovers" category and I have fairly high expectations for my first IMATS experience.
This year (2014), it's being held in Toronto on Saturday, November 22nd (8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and Sunday, November 23rd (10 a.m. to 5 p.m.) at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in the South Building Halls F&G . 1-day Tickets are sold on the IMATS website here for $45 CAD including HST or $50 at the door.
In an attempt to plan my day, I've spent a solid amount of time stalking the IMATS website, making lists of which speakers I'd like to hear and what I want to buy from which exhibitors.
