Beautycon is like Candy Land for makeup and skincare mavens. The annual festival which took place in London, Los Angeles and New York on April 21 and 22 is the ultimate way to satisfy a beauty fix. Makeup, hair and skin care fans can look forward to shopping hot products for a fraction off the retail price, networking with beauty influencers and YouTubers from across the country, attending celebrity panel discussions and of course snapping Instagram worthy photos — because we all know if it’s not on IG, it never happened.
From Korean beauty products to veteran brands to new companies looking to make their mark in the industry, Beautycon was jam-packed with everything a beauty maven could dream of and more. Whether you’re looking for the perfect eyeliner to create a head-turning cat-eye, a highlighter palette to glow like a disco ball, a rejuvenating mask for that extra TLC or a toner to balance and smooth skin, this festival is just what the doctor ordered. With this year’s focus being all about playful and easy-to-use products, jelly masks and whipped moisturizers have made an big splash.
