Makeup Conferences in Las Vegas

If you are looking for a makeup conference in Las Vegas, the city's main event is Be+Well Las Vegas, the show formerly known as IBS, held each June at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Makeup sits within a much wider programme here. Alongside makeup education you will find hair, nails, skin, lashes and brows, massage and spa, which makes it a strong choice for artists who also offer brows, lashes or skin prep, or who want to understand how makeup fits into a full salon menu. The event blends conference sessions with education and a busy trade floor, so you can learn new techniques in the morning and test products in the afternoon. It is also a chance to build contacts with brands and educators from across North America in one visit.

Details for every makeup conference in Las Vegas are below, including dates, venue and who can attend, and you can find more makeup shows across the USA on our related pages.

Getting there

Fly into Harry Reid International Airport, a short taxi or rideshare from the Strip and the convention center. The Las Vegas Convention Center has its own Monorail station, so you can ride in from resorts along the east side of the Strip without sitting in traffic.

Where to stay

Hotels close to the convention center, or near any Monorail stop, make the daily journey easy. If you would rather be in the middle of the Strip, the Monorail still gets you to the halls quickly.

Tips for makeup artists

• Plan your sessions before you arrive, as the programme covers many categories and the halls are large.
• Bring a small kit if you hope to try products or join practical sessions.
• Use the trip to explore brows, lashes and skin education too, as they sit alongside makeup at this show.
• June is hot in Las Vegas, so carry water when moving between buildings.
