Oh Snap! Makeup and Nail Competition is the first of its kind to happen as a stand-alone event from major hair shows in Macon-Bibb County. Productions such as this usually happen in major metropolitan areas. However, Princess Davis is a young artist and entrepreneur who decided she wanted to create a local competition with big city flavor. She founded Innovators Alive a couple of years ago to make specialized accessories and dazzling jewelry. The concept of beauty and art seem to be the key ingredients behind this company and its umbrella initiatives.

Nowadays, everyday people look as if they are stepping out from a Hollywood set, so makeup and nail artists are in high demand. The Oh Snap! Makeup and Nail Competition takes place Sunday, May 4 at the Cox Capitol Theatre, 382 Second Street  downtown Macon, from 6:30 until 9:30 p.m. The makeup and nail students or professionals must participate in three categories to qualify for the cash prizes. Entry fee for all competitors is $25.
