BeautyCon London 2015: Everything you need to know about the lifestyle hangout

BeautyCon is heading to London for the first time and fortunately there will be plenty on offer to entertain guests at the lifestyle event.

Around 4,000 beauty lovers are expected to flock to west London's Olympia on 23 May when the one-day event will take place.

Visitors will be able to take part in Q&As with their favourite bloggers, sample products, meet other like-minded people and, most importantly, shop until they drop.

Around 17,000 people voted for London to host the first international BeautyCon summit, which started in Los Angeles, so it will undoubtedly be a day not to be missed.

Anna Golden, commercial director for Olympia London, said in a statement: "Olympia London will be brim full of beauty and shopping activity, as we welcome the latest generation of online influencers and beauty gurus and their ever-increasing number of fans for this exciting one day event.

"Live Nation selected our most contemporary event space, Olympia West, which is ideally suited to the young event and also presents the opportunity for growth, with bigger spaces available in future."

She added: "Indeed, with the event tapping the zeitgeist for serious beauty blogging and all things digital, we are looking forward to supporting BeautyCon over subsequent editions."

Without further ado, IBTimes UK has rounded-up everything you need to know about the beauty phenomenon.
