Has anyone actually been to the IMATS and can tell me what it was like. I'm a hairdresser, but have a few make up artist friends who are going. Would this interest me as i'm more into hair then make up?

I went to IMATS a couple of weekends ago and although I couldn't stay long I loved it! It was also terrible weather outside so it was perfect for staying indoors and playing with makeup... ♥!

What is the ONE thing that everyone gets wrong with their makeup that you would like to rectify ASAP?

I honestly think that I'd ask all these questions above and more, don't think I'd be able to limit myself to just one question!! The one thing going through my mind would probably be "can you come to my house every morning and make me look glamorous??" yeah..that's probably it :) I would love to go to IMATS, actually thought I would this year, but... doesn't look like it's happening :(
