Cosmoprof Las Vegas 2015, in photos

In this gallery we bring you some of the highlights from the three day event, which included some of the biggest names in the industry and the addition of several new features that were all very well received by attendees.

This year the event saw the repeated success of the Cosmoprof Boutique, giving attendees the chance to take home samples from selected exhibitors, as well as the introduction of the Beauty Pitch and the Tones of Beauty segment.

Beauty Pitch was a big, big success, as the photos in the gallery illustrate, with some 1,400 beauty professionals enraptured as five top beauty players pitched against one another for a chance to win $10,000 in prize money and a year's mentorship from Mark Cuban, of Shark Tank fame.

Although the final attendance figures are not yet in for the event, the organizer was hoping to build attendance up to 27,000 beauty professionals who were there to see what almost 1,000 exhibitors had on offer.
