As you know, a career in makeup artistry can take you down many paths, some rather unexpectedly! Having an open mind and flexibility can bring a lot of adventure and new experiences. Shannon Vincent recently became the IMATS retail sales manager, and gets to travel to every IMATS location around the world, managing the retail booths and hiring a support team to assist her. As we also know, AofM student graduates stick together and regularly hire each other. For this upcoming IMATS show in Los Angeles, Shannon hired two of her classmates to man the booth with her, Heather Butterwegge and Hannah Gemberling. I am also going to IMATS, so I will look forward to our reunion! If you don’t know what IMATS (The International Makeup Artist Tradeshow) is, it’s THEE tradeshow for professional makeup artists and not to be missed! You can read all about it here IMATS . Congratulations Shannon! What a fantastic job!!
