We just had a fabulous five days at the Face And Body Art International Convention (FABAIC) 2013 down in Ft. Lauderdale. FABAIC is the largest industry event of its kind in the world. It brought together the most famous instructors from across the globe - two being our very own Jinny and Mark Reid. Attendees were surrounded with boundless opportunities to hone their skills and learn new techniques from the best of the best. There were classes, seminars and nightly jam sessions. Jinny taught Art Celebrating Life - Belly Painting, Mehron Prisma Cake Magic, Eye See You - the Art of Painting Eyes, Floral Fantasy, and Painted Tattoo Sleeves. Mark shared his talents in Fashionista Body Art, Wings n Roses Body Art, Million Dollar Legs, Boys Will Be Boys, Fantasy Cats, and a young adult class on scary faces. But these packed classes were not the only place people could learn from the masters. When they weren't teaching, Mark and Jinny were drawing in the crowds for their demos on the Mehron Stage. Here is a peek of their amazing artistry that had everyone stopping, watching and learning.
FABAIC Evening Vendor Marketplace
Each evening of FABAIC was bustling with happy shoppers looking for the perfect products to replicate what they learned earlier that day. We loved seeing old faces from the industry and meeting so many new artists and helping them fill their Mehron shopping lists! Our new Paradise Makeup AQ Brilliant colors seemed to be the big hit. People were buying up our Paradise Makeup AQ 8 Color Brilliant Palette and bought every single one of our Brilliant Silver. They must have been inspired by Jinny's glimmering creations.
FABIAC Inspires Even The Tiniest Of Artists
FABAIC offers classes for children and young adults. Mehron was happy to sponsor these fun filled, hands on classes that inspire and motivate budding face and body artists! Each young student received and adorable sugar skulls t-shirt that was designed by Jinny to follow the opening convention day theme and a bag full of face painting products and tools for the classes. The kids had such a blast!
If you are, or know of, a face and body artist this is a convention you need to put on your calendars for next year!
