Makeup Conferences 2027

Makeup conferences and conventions put learning centre stage. You can spend a day or a weekend in masterclasses, hear artists talk about building a career, explore permanent makeup techniques and connect with others who share your craft.

Permanent makeup has one of the fullest conference calendars. Next Level PMU meets in Markham at the end of October 2026 and the PMU Beauty World Grand Conference comes to Dubai in early November. In 2027 the SPCP Convention runs in Tulsa in October, WULOP Canada usually returns each September, and the UK PMU Conference near Heathrow follows in March 2028. For colour makeup, Queen's Night UK and Ireland brings education, competitions and awards to Coventry in October, and MakeUp in NewYork pairs its exhibition with conference sessions in September. The big shows add stage programmes too, including Be+Well New York in March, Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna in March, Be+Well Las Vegas in June and Beautyworld Middle East in Dubai in October.

Every makeup conference is listed below with dates, venues and who can attend, so you can pick the programme that suits your work.

Planning a year of learning

Look at the speakers and session topics first, then the location. Many artists attend one specialist conference a year and one large show, which gives a good balance of deep learning and product discovery.

Which conference suits you

• Permanent makeup: the SPCP Convention, WULOP Canada, Next Level PMU and the UK PMU Conference.
• Colour and bridal artistry: Queen's Night UK and Ireland and the education stages at large beauty shows.
• Brand and product side: MakeUp in NewYork connects artists with the people developing cosmetics.
• Wider beauty learning: Be+Well and Tones of Beauty Expo cover makeup alongside skin, lashes and wellness.

Before you travel

Some workshops need booking separately and fill quickly, so reserve your place early. Check whether you need to bring your own brushes, kit or model for practical sessions.
