FAQ

Q:  Awhile back, I received an e-mail about classes being offered on Friday. However, since then, I haven't heard or seen anything about them on the website or anywhere. I was wondering if the classes are still happening and if they're open to all IMATS attendees who paid for classes.

A: This is the first year that we are offering four-hour master classes and we were so excited to spread the word that we told you about it before we had all of our class descriptions confirmed. They are definitely still happening and we should have all of the detailed information online today.  

Q: Which artists are teaching master classes? What are the subjects? What are the times?

A:  Friday, June 25 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.: Vargas teaches “Fantasy Body Art: Carnival, Masks, and Brush Effects”
Friday, June 25 from 2 to 6 p.m.: Kevin-James Bennett teaches “Beauty Outside The Box”

Monday, June 28 from 9 a.m.  to 1 p.m.: Eve Pearl teaches “Reverse Contouring for All Ages”

Monday, June 28 from 2 to 6 p.m.: Rae Morris teaches a class (subject coming soon)

Q: How much does it cost to participate in a master class?

A: Each class is capped at 20 students maximum, to ensure a quality hands-on training experience. Due to the intimate size and level of training provided, these classes cost $195 each. This cost is not related to the price of IMATS admission and must be reserved separately. This cost does, however, include admission for one model per student at each master class. (Students are required to bring their own models or work on themselves.)

Q: I have a friend who has paid for her two-day ticket but opted to pick it up at Will Call. Will this affect her ability to attend the classes on Friday?

A: The cost to reserve a space at one of our master classes is $195. This cost is not associated with the price of admission to IMATS and must be purchased separately. Participation in a master class will not affect the Will Call status of your ticket to IMATS.

Q: How many people can go to each class?

A: Each master class will accommodate a maximum of 20 students.

Q: What should I bring? Will make-up be provided? Will models be provided?

A: Participant needs to bring their own kits, brushes and any other tools they find necessary. They are also expected to bring their own models. The price of a master class includes admission for one model per student. If a student would rather work on his/her own face, that is fine as well.

Q: Can I reserve my master class space at IMATS?

A: These master classes will be filled on a first-come first-served basis, but keep in mind that by the time IMATS opens on Saturday, two of the four classes will already be over. If there is any space left in the two remaining master classes (taught by Eve Pearl and Rae Morris) we will have a sign-up area at the Make-Up Artist magazine booth on the show floor.
