For the last couple of years I have been trying to attend the Paintopia Body Painting event but never get there always due to work commitments. This year Jennie Roberts, head of this event, asked me to judge a new competition titled "Creative Makeup Artist of the Year".
There was also a new section called "Online Alley" hosted by Jo Peters alongside well known Instagram artists such as Maria Malone, all showing their designs.
It was great to see Kryolan, Illusion, Mistair, Treasure House and a host of other body art/makeup companies selling their products at the event.
I was also able to watch some of the teaching sessions led by the Kryolan team of Paul Merchant and Gemma Horner.
At 11.30am I went to judge the Creative Makeup Competition with Victoria Lee representing Kryolan and Maria Malone. We viewed some really exciting designs and it was interesting to see each contestants take on creative makeup. After serious debate and reviewing each contestants work we finally decided on our final three.
At 3pm it was the Urban Jungle stage presentations of the body painting work and awards. For the Creative Makeup Artist our final three were:
1st Place - Karen Harvey
2nd Place - Suzanne Forrester - Beer
3rd Place - Liz Bylett
They were given prizes from my range, JT Makeup and Face-Lace
I loved the whole day and wished I could have stayed for the whole weekend.
Well done to Jennie and her team, Kryolan for sponsoring the event and everyone who participated.
