For anyone with a passion for make-up, Illamasqua are arguably one of the most intriguing brands around. They believe that rather than simply being a way to make yourself look pretty, cosmetics should help you express yourself or show a side of you that others may not usually see. Their motto is “make-up for your alter ego” and they aim to help you achieve this by offering the highest quality, alternative cosmetics. Alex Box, their creative director, was described as “the world’s most outrageous make-up artist” by the Style magazine of The Sunday Times and their website shows her at work in numerous video tutorials to give you inspiration and guidance.
Illamasqua’s range includes make-up, nail polishes, a perfume named Freak and various accessories. Perhaps one of the most unique services associated with Illamasqua is their The Final Act of Self Expression service. Let’s just say if you were known for your immaculately applied face in life, they want to help ensure you’re just as well made-up when you meet your maker.
Each season Illamasqua launches new colors and products. The names of their past collections reflect the dramatic nature of the brand, with titles such as Theatre of the Nameless, Toxic Nature, Throb and Dystopia. An inspiring aspect of the company is the way they have supported and raised awareness for the The Sophie Lancaster Foundation, a UK charity founded by the mother of a murder victim who was viciously attacked by a mob for having a different, goth style.
Illamasqua is not available in stores in Spain yet, but luckily it can be ordered online from their website. All products and ingredients are cruelty free so you can be safe in the knowledge that no bunnies suffered for your beauty.
