This is part one of my IMATS talk. Today will be some pictures from the event and tomorrow will be my haul. What a fun time! I'll warn you now that this is picture heavy. I had a great time and I'm already making plans and saving up for next year's event. I'll take my professional camera next time, as well. I wasn't sure if I was allowed to take it this year, so I was stuck using my Point & Shoot. Oh well! Stay tuned for tomorrow's IMATS Haul!

Look at all of that makeup! Don't you just want to kiss it?!

Not gonna lie...the baby was a bit creepy. That's only because the head was as big as my TV!

The student X-Men themed competition started their show for judging. This guy was an amazing model for his artist. He glided across the stage, acted pompous, and like an ape. It was A+!

I feel like this is the makeup that should have won. The costume, the effect, and everything put together was excellent.

This was third place. I thought the look was ok, but kind of basic. I liked the horseshoes used as weapons, though. Nice touch!

This was second place. It's an alright look, but compared to some of the others...In my personal opinion, I have no idea how this makeup got 2nd place compared to the looks it was going against.

The first place look took home $1000. Not a bad prize at all! Do I agree with the winner chosen? Not exactly. I felt like this look definitely should have placed, just not in first. Glad I wasn't a judge though, because they were all well done!

I filmed Koren (EnKoreMakeup on YouTube) filming Elessa (Pursebuzz on YouTube). I'm so lame. :)

I took in Elessa's Holiday Look class. She's so petite and tiny! The camera wasn't picking up the colors she was using during the tutorial, but I did see the look afterward off the stage and it looked lovely.

I was going to get a picture of Elessa and then hunt down Koren. He ended up coming right over, so it was the perfect moment to get a picture with them both. I was going to take it myself because I know which angles I (and everyone else) look better in. A girl offered to take it for me instead, so I reluctantly agreed. Unfortunately, she took the picture straight on. Seriously, who looks that great when a picture is taken like that? Not many! I appreciate her kindness to help, though!

There were a few body paint artists at the show, so I saw a few girls go by. I admire their self-esteem and willingness to walk around the show half-naked with only paint on their bodies. I blush at the mere thought! Kudos to them and the wonderful artistry represented!
