Make-up artists, hairstylists and aestheticians flocked to Vancouver, British Columbia’s first-ever Canadian Makeup Show, held April 4-5 in the city’s Agrodome.

CMS, produced by Industry Cosmetics founder Jeff Saunders, featured student competitions in four different categories and demonstrations of airbrush, make-up effects and bodypainting techniques. Make-up companies also set up shop at the event, to show and sell their products. Keynote speakers included celebrity make-up artists Bill Corso, Sharon Gault, Kevin James Bennett and Roque Cozette, as well as Make-Up Artist magazine publisher Michael Key.

“I think it was a great start for future shows,” Saunders said.

This first show won’t be the last, in other words: as Key announced at the end of his keynote speech, Saunders has handed off the Canadian Makeup Show to Make-Up Artist magazine, which will produce subsequent Vancouver shows under the International Make-Up Artist Trade Show banner.

“The exhibitors are unanimously committed to this market, and that is what convinced me to do an IMATS show in Vancouver,” Key said.

Make-Up Artist magazine will also produce a second Canadian show this fall: the International Make-Up Artist Trade show in Toronto. For more information, go to http://makeupmag.com/imats/.

Iranian Make-up Innovator Dies at 65 - Wednesday 14 May, 2008

Iranian movie make-up artist Farhang Moayyeri died May 10 in Tehran of cardiac arrest. He was 65 and had already fought a long battle with lung cancer, the Iran State News Agency reported.

Moayyeri created several make-up designs and prosthetics for Iranian theater, television and film. He is best known for creating make-up for the films of Bahram Beizai, Mas'ud Kimiai and other well-known Iranian directors.

According to the ISNA, Moayyeri was born in 1943 and began his career acting on The Brick and the Mirror (1965), then tried directing before entering the make-up industry in 1978. He created the make-up for Bashou, the Little Stranger (1986), Maybe Some Other Time (1988), Killing Mad Dogs (2001) and other films.

Mohsen Maleki, head of the Iranian Association of Make-Up Designers, expressed sorrow over Moayyeri’s death and described him as the father of modern Iranian make-up design. Moayyeri was honored by the association in 2006 for his efforts to train new generations of artists in Iran's film industry.
