Over the space of two days, artists and brands will make their way to vibrant Manchester to showcase their work at Professional Beauty North and you can be a part of it. Held on 18th and 19th September, join us at Manchester Central for an extravaganza in all things beauty and hair.
Put your skills to the test by entering our second Warpaint Championships of 2016 on Monday 19th September. Click here for all of the competition entry information. You can register for FREE tickets for Professional Beauty North here.
The Film and TV category will see artists showing off their talents in prosthetics and creating authentic wounds, as this year’s theme is The Blitz. During the Second World War, many of Britain’s cities were under attack by enemy bombers and it is your job to design a character who has been injured during a raid.
A throwback to The 1980′s is the theme for our Runway category, where artists can take inspiration from popular stars and trends of the era.
In the Real Beauty category, artists will need to create two looks, by first depicting The Female Boss and then transforming their model’s make-up from their desk to a night out using only an additional four items. The judges are searching for artists who design a look for real women, not professional models, and are versatile and creative.
The theme for the Bodypainting competition is the United States of America. and the judges are looking for exceptional work with brush and sponge or airbrush, combined with costume and headpiece. Use of props too is key with innovation and originality being awarded marks. For the first time Students and Pro Artists will be judged as two separately categories, with the intent of creating a level playing field.
First place winners will have a chance to appear in the Professional Beauty magazine, receive a trophy and to gain some fantastic experience by working with their head judge.
The online only photographic competition, #InstaWarpaint, will be looking for artists to indulge their imagination by exploring the theme Alice in Wonderland. It will be judged by the Warpaint editorial team and a special fashion photography guest. The deadline for entries is midnight, Friday 9th September, and needs to be emailed to warpaintmag@gmail.com.
