After weeks and weeks of planning and preperation, the day finally arrived that I would put on my first live event. As part of my university degree for my Events Management module, I was given a brief in which we had to get into groups of eight to plan and execute a live event in order to raise
money for a local Birmingham
Charity, St Basils. We wanted to create a fun and sophisticated day out for all beauty enthusiasts and so me and the lovely ladies I had the pleasure of working with created our "Beauty Factory". As a BeautyCon style day out, "The Beauty Factory" is the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon for all beauty lovers, featuring masterclasses from industry professionals, blogger meetups, and pop-up stands by beloved brands.
On the morning of event day I had to wake up at 6:30am and somehow put my hair into rollers and attempt a full face of makeup whilst still half asleep as I knew this would be the only free time I would have all day to make myself look alive. We arrived at the venue at 9am to set up for the fun day ahead. Decorating the venue, we started to see everything we had been imagining for weeks start to come together and it was the best feeling. As the Brands and Makeup Artists started to arrive to set up their stands, it was so exciting to finally meet all the people I had been emailing with for the past few months leading up to the event. Looking around the space and seeing every little detail we had planned coming to life was very (as cringey as it is to say) heartwarming.
Upon arrival, our guests were greeted with Prosecco and Fresh Orange Juice and given a gift bag along with an itinerary for the day. We had Canapés and sweet treats going round for our guests while they browsed the space. Upstairs we had a variety of beauty stands from nail and brow bars to skincare stands to a Bobbi Brown stand, there was lots for people to get involved with. Downstairs we had our masterclass studio featuring some very talented Makeup Artists sharing their expertise. On a whole, the event was a huge success. It has been a working process full of tears, stress, and sleepless nights, but the end result was so worth it to see everyone having such a good time (myself included)!
Brands who worked the event said they would love to take part in another event as they saw potential for it to grow bigger and better with time so I definitely don't think this will be the last you hear from Cosmetize Events...
Below are the links to some lovely brands and artists that deserve a special thanks for their donations and contributions to making the day so special!
