IMATS Tips
YAY.. For Tips!!
My tips are:
- Bring money
- Try to negotiate (not too much, but a little is ok)
- Go to the places you want products from and check their inventory, you don’t want them to run out
- Be friendly and followup with them to maintain future relationships
- Listen to Koren’s tips.. great tips!!
- Comfy shoes because its a lot of walking around
- Don’t snub brands you don’t know.. it might be the best thing since sliced bread
- Prices are low but don’t expect swapmeet prices. Keep in mind that these are mostly pro products so they will be pigmented
- Try to go both days if possible. First day to browse and next day to buy
- Make a list of what you want before you go so you won’t forget with all the fun and distractions
Good luck and have fun!!!
See you in Toronto eekk.. the first IMATS in Canada EVER!!!!<3

I would LOVE to go to this, but alas it won’t be happening for me this time. I am really looking forward to your wrap-up of everything though Elessa, so I can sort of vicariously attend through you.

sounds like fun! but i don’t know too much about makeup to know what’s going on hahaha i would be sooo lost. but it’s all because of your website and videos that i’m learning more about makeup and hairstyling, so THANKS!!!
Aww, too bad I can’t go to canada… Sounds like so much fun!

Good tips. Wish I could afford to go.
What?! I thought it exclusively for well-known make-up artists, etc etc etc. Haha, I didn’t know anyone could just attend. I’ll be keeping this in mind. (=
OOooh! FUN! I wanna hear all about it! Also, I love Twilight!
LOL! I love Korean. he is so knowledgable. THanks for the tips guys!
Do they accept credit cards? I’m flying in from Seattle and this will be my very first show. Super Excited BTW
