11 Brands. 1 Tradeshow

How Mecca Design Delivered a Full-Scale Beauty Showcase — Flawlessly.

What do you get when you combine 11 beauty brands, one major tradeshow, and a four-week timeline? For most teams, that’s a logistical headache. 

For Mecca Design? That’s our sweet spot.

In Q2, we were tapped to design, build, and manage the entire booth rollout for 11 different beauty brands at the ULTA Tradeshow — from creative concepts and fabrication to shipping, install, and strike. All delivered on time, on budget, and on brand.

Concept to Completion… Handled to Perfection.

At Mecca, we don’t just build booths, we craft immersive brand experiences. For the ULTA-mate tradeshow (not the official name, but a great and accurate pun), each brand came with a unique identity and message. 

Our job? Translate all that into a cohesive visual story that stops traffic on the tradeshow floor.

We handled it all:

✓ Design Realization – Don’t get us wrong; we love dreaming up concepts for our clients. In this case, we took each agency’s creative vision and brought it to life with precision. From render to reality, our team engineered every detail for buildability, brand impact, and seamless install.

✓ Fabrication – From custom fixtures and scenic elements to specialty finishes and lighting, we built everything in-house, down to the last detail.

✓ Logistics & Shipping – With 11 builds headed to the same destination, we coordinated staggered shipments and timed arrivals with zero hiccups.

✓ Install & Strike – We were onsite to ensure every detail was locked in — on schedule, under control, and camera-ready. When it was over? We struck every booth efficiently and ahead of deadline. The best part? We have the best reels to prove it.

Our Work in Action

A few brand moments we brought to life:

 

Fenty Beauty

Glossy finishes, sculptural elements, and a glowing “Shine Bright” centerpiece. Built to dazzle.

Covergirl

A soft, cloud-like space with dimensional textures and a sleek display wall. Sweet meets science.

Vera Wang

Gleaming chrome, oversized diamonds, and a bold vibe. This booth channeled luxury with a sharp edge.

Sally Hansen

Saturated color, graphic lines, and playful polish moments. Bold beauty, bottled — and brought to life.

 

Tree Hut: Tropical textures, lush greenery, and sun-kissed hues. A beachy brand world you could step right into.

Ouai: Sleek, minimalist styling with elevated materials and clean lines. Effortless cool, just like the brand.

Ole Henriksen: Bright, joyful and bold captured the brand’s signature glow. Skincare, but make it sunshine.

Bondi Boost: A soft-focus palette with haircare front and center. Inviting, aspirational, and built to shine.

 

There are more booths we’re keeping to ourselves for now, but are bound to make their debut on our socials and website soon — each one handcrafted by Mecca to reflect the brand, meet their guidelines, and stand out in a crowded expo hall.
