Illamasqua Review

Self-expression through make-up is an idea that is spreading outside alternative cultures. Illamasqua’s mission is to provide high-performance, professional make-up to anyone who wants to self-express and accentuate their look beyond the norm.

Developed by leading chemists, manufacturers of stage and screen make-up and make-up artists, Illamasqua brings truly professional make-up to the high street for the first time.

Designed to be colour-intense, colour-true and long lasting, Illamasqua offers an unprecedented range – giving you a huge palette with which to express yourself, whoever you are and whatever look you want to achieve.

Illamasqua will bring its rich heritage to life by providing consultations rather than ‘make overs’. Illamasqua’s make-up artists spend time getting to know individuals, helping them explore their alter ego and create the look they want to achieve. This is self-expression at its most creative, allowing women and men who dare to be different to create a look that can be achieved confidently at home and flaunted at night.

"Self-expression for the divine being within"

Look at how celestial the outside packaging is?!

Your nails should make a statement. With Illamasqua they say you are in control. They say you take what you want.

Illamasqua nails are ultra sexy, ultra glossy and ultra glamorous. With thick, solid varnishes that go on evenly and easily, they are hard-wearing, chip-resistant and stay colour-true...

Leave your mark with bold, rich, vibrant colours. Hardwearing and chip-resistant with individual finishes from matt to high gloss. Apply two coats for intensity and use with Illamasqua Nail Base Coat and Illamasqua Nail Top Coat for the perfect finish. Talk with your hands and make a statement.

For lips that speak volumes.

Illamasqua lipsticks are bold and brash with staying power that lasts the night. The colour spectrum pushes the boundaries, but also woos with classics like bright reds and hot pinks, in gloss and matt finishes. The lipglosses, in either Sheer or Intense, work on their own, or with the lipstick, to make the perfect pout.

Let your lips speak volumes. Indulge in colour-intense lipstick with a highly pigmented formula, available in a choice of flawless finishes, from matt to glossy. Illamasqua Lipstick glides on smoothly and never feels dry, for the perfect all-night pout. A must have for professional make-up artists, and those who want to make a statement.

I just had to mention that I love the creamy-yellow packaging inside the boxes.

You can smell the SPF, but I don't mind, I just LOVE the way it glides onto my skin

It really does make a more dewey-effect, even after you apply your foundation.

Illamasqua Cream Blusher

Promise

This is the creamiest cream blush I have ever felt.

Great for all skin-types, even better for dry skin-types.

I would describe this shade as a cool-toned, soft, baby pink.

SWATCHES

You know how sometimes, baby-pink blushes don't really show up on your cheeks?

But you really want that youthful, glowy, doll-skin?

THIS IS THE BLUSH FOR YOU!

I was shocked at how vibrant, yet pastel this showed up on my cheeks.

It doesn't really dry down to a matte finish, like other cream blushes do.

It stays moist and glowy!

It is my number 1 favorite blush at the moment!
