October 3rd, 2018
October is our favourite month at Warpaint Towers: back to back shows each weekend and our social channels awash with Halloween images. What’s not to love? Everything kicks off this coming weekend with Professional Beauty Ireland 2017 on 7th and 8th October and we can’t wait to head across the Irish Sea for a weekend of makeup mania. Alongside our Warpaint Live Stage on Sunday 7th and Monday 8th October, there’s a great choice of brands. From top international names like Benefit Cosmetics to homegrown stars such as Blank Canvas, we can’t wait for the doors to open.
Check out the line up on the Warpaint Live Stage. Reserve your seat for €3 per session (€1 for students and lecturers). Click here to book.
From fresh faced beauty to bridal, SFX to red carpet glamour, our Sunday Stage is packed with fantastic demos. Ireland’s own Maria Malone-Guerbaa, Stephanie Burns, Roisin Leacy and Niamh Martin show what makes them the top of their game.
Monday’s line up continues the brilliance – with Ciara Daly creating a photo finish makeup, Ann Marie Thompson demos festive looks for Fuschia Make-Up, Nuala Campbell of Titanic FX shows what fascinated Prince Harry and Megan Markle, while we introduce to you Ellie35x, makeup artist, Bodypainter and Instagram star who will showcase a fantasy look.
