It is not a traditional trade show as we know them, but rather a formula better suited to the environment and atmosphere that characterizes the world of beauty on the West Coast. "MakeUp in Action" in Los Angeles, which will take place over two days, aims to bring together the "crème de la crème" of the beauty industry. Two days that will alternate both plenary sessions and highly focused workshops to take an in-depth look in the makeup industry.

Workshops that will be conducted by consultants, brand managers and suppliers. Innovation is the cornerstone and the purpose of this event. Companies wishing to exhibit (on a deliberately limited space) will be given the possibility to do so, provided they only present their most recent innovations. The core concept is the richness of the themes covered by the various workshops and plenary sessions.
