The Innovative Makeup Packaging Design & Engineering Contest
The Challenge!
Makeup in New York invites Kansas State University to participate in the First Innovative Makeup
Packaging Design & Engineering Contest. The contest will consist to Design, Engineer and Rapid Prototype
an Innovative new Face Make-up Package.
At the heart of Manhattan!
MakeUp in NewYork will take place next year on 16th and 17th September 2015 at the PENNPLAZA
PAVILION. A unique venue and extremely convenient to access, right in front of Penn Station, actually the
main intercity train station in New-York where most subway lines and trains converge including those
coming from New Jersey, where the real industrial core of the New-York Beauty sector is.
A unique event!
Next year it will be the turn of MakeUp in NewYork to celebrate its fifth anniversary! "It’s both a very
young and very old age," explains Jean-Yves Bourgeois, President of Beauteam US. "Very young because
the creation of this event seems to have happened yesterday... very old because with today's digital
economy and speed of information along with the evermore ephemeral nature of our consumer society,
events that pass the five year mark are not so many nowadays.” MakeUp in NewYork is offering a
platform of opportunities to grow knowledge and build network with like-minded professionals.
