With the development of Black Up in the Caribbean and the preparation for a number of new POS launches in 2012, PGE hosted a 3-day Black Up Training event for in-store makeup artists.

The training, which took place in Miami at the PGE offices, welcomed makeup artists from St. Martin, St. Maarten, Grand Cayman, Haiti, Jamaica and Barbados. The makeup-training seminar and workshops were conducted by one of the head makeup artists from Black Up, who came directly from Paris for the event.
