BeautyCon is the first international online beauty and fashion summit for the internet’s most influential video-bloggers, celebrities and their fans. BeautyCon was designed to provide a valuable opportunity for fans to meet their favorite social media influencers and for brands to to connect with top tier content creators IRL and showcase their latest products.
