The event is open to the public and great value even if someone buys just the 'floor' ticket at $15, they'll get that back in free samples. Plus attendees can buy make up, brushes etc. direct from the manufacturers at discounted prices; the creative directors will be at the booths (the top, top make up artists); there are new product launches; access to obscure professional brands; trade secrets, etc. It's the world of make up under one roof and a make up junkies dream.For visual interest there is Body Painting and a fashion show, as well as all sorts of Demos.

About the Show: Known simply as "The Show" to the make-up world, the International Make-Up Artist Trade Show (IMATS) is the only show of its kind in the world. Thousands of make-up artists, vendors, manufacturers and enthusiasts convene for the make-up world's biggest gathering to discuss, display, discover and collect the best the industry has to offer. If you've ever wanted to learn the techniques or experiment with the products, or if you just have an interest in the art of make-up, then L.A. is where you need to be. The show is open to the public. No make-up artist credentials are required to get you in the door.
The Pasadena Convention Center (located at 300 East Green Street, Pasadena, Calif. 91101) will host IMATS, presented by Make-Up Artist magazine. On June 20 and 21, 2009, make-up pros will come together to provide the finest education and demonstrations in the world-- ideas will be exchanged, products tried, and make-up secrets revealed.
History: During the mid-'90s, there were no trade shows specifically for make-up artists, and cosmetic companies expressed a desire for such an event. Knowing just how much education could be provided, Make-Up Artist publisher Michael Key held the first International Make-Up Artist Trade Show in August 1997. The Show allowed artists to custom-tailor what they wanted to see. It offered a diverse mix of presentations, products, demonstrations, and education by some of the biggest names in the business. Like Make-Up Artist magazine, the trade show continues to further Key's vision to educate and reach make-up artists around the world.
