Around here, we've developed an unofficial James Vincent fan club. And, is it any wonder? The go-to guy for our Double Dare video series is not just a seriously talented makeup artist; he's also one of the warmest people you'll ever meet. Suffice it to say, anyone who spends a day on set with him is the object of serious envy in the R29 offices — especially since "James time" inevitably leaves us with a plethora of new makeup skills along with the warm fuzzies.
Sound like the kind of guy you'd like to meet? (Obviously.) Lucky you, New York: Mr. Vincent will be giving seminars at The Makeup Show Pop-Up Shop, a luxury beauty sale happening just in time for the holidays. If you've ever wanted to get caught up on holiday trends, build a better makeup kit, or generally improve your makeup game, now's your chance to learn from one of the best. On top of that, more than 40 beauty brands — including Make Up For Ever, Ellis Faas, Smashbox, Stila, and Armour Beauty — are majorly whittling down prices on their wares. Cocktails, discounts, and the chance to meet our makeup BFF? It really is the most wonderful time of the year.
When: Saturday, December 7, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Sunday, December 8, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Where: Metropolitan Pavilion, 123 W. 18th Street (between Sixth and Seventh Avenues); $25 tickets available at The Makeup Show.
