Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India] March 22 (ANI/BusinessWireIndia): The make-up industry in India has two aspects – colour cosmetics and talent. With brands like Make-Up Studio, Kryolan, NYX Professional, MUD, M.A.C, Bobbi Brown and many more ruling the top charts in the industry, there is no dearth of high-quality professional products.
The Beauty and Cosmetics Industry in India is estimated to hit the USD 2.68 billion mark by the year 2020. As the industry stands on the cusp of a major breakthrough, the Professional Beauty Group is all set to roll out the maiden edition of the Make-Up Week (MUW). This creative confluence is scheduled on the 25th and 26th of March, 2019, at 18.99 Latitude Banquets, Lower Parel, Mumbai.
“As the Indian society is warming up to alternative and creative career options, make-up artistry is gaining popularity. However, there still remains a skill gap in terms of technique, precision, and knowledge on how to build a long-lasting career as a make-up artist. That's why we have envisaged a first-of-its-kind, beyond bridal technical and business education make-up show exclusively for the make-up community – the Make-Up Week. It will give local talent the opportunity to learn from national as well as global make-up masters. It will put them on the forefront of trends and teach them how to customise international trends for their Indian clientele. Whether he is a beauty advisor at a store, a make-up artist with a salon or a freelancer, the first edition of Make-Up Week is a must-attend for all serious contenders in the cosmetics world. We have top names from the make-up fraternity providing valuable knowledge about the art, science and business of make-up, along with reputed colour cosmetics' brands that boast state-of-the-art make-up products”, commented Vikas Vij, Director, IDEX on the debut of MUW.
