IMATS Sydney

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 Sydney 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 Sydney Convention Centre (located on Darling Drive near Darling Harbour) will host IMATS, presented by Make-Up Artist magazine. On September 12 and 13, 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.

Along with the keynote presentations, IMATS Sydney will feature more than 50 international cosmetics vendors and educational seminars held throughout the weekend. A gothic theme has been chosen for the IMATS student competition’s beauty/fantasy component; the prosthetic/character competition has an X-Men mutants theme.
