The National Beauty Show was conceived by two female beauty entrepreneurs from Liverpool, Jody Riley, a former beautician turned beauty tech entrepreneur and the face of beauty booked app PamperBook/Cliquesy and Alex Alexander, owner of Lex Cosmetics, whose clients include celebrities, the rich and the famous. The Liverpool duo, who've previously run events together, teamed up last year when they launched the National Beauty Awards 2022 to huge sell-out success.

Commenting on the forthcoming Show, Jody says, “The response we've had from across the beauty and cosmetics industry to attend and support this event has been truly amazing. There's a huge amount of excitement for the city with Liverpool showcasing itself to the world with Eurovision and being rated as one of the top tourist destinations in the UK.

Visitors will get to see the latest products, treatments and techniques delivered by popular world-renowned brands. Beauty fans will get tips and beauty hacks from leading influencers, plus discounted products and offers unique to the National Beauty Show.”

They also provided additional insight on the idea of the "wedding night" from Relationship Expert, Jenni Trent Hughes.
