An Illamasqua Experience

A couple of weekends ago, my good friend Sarah (@hipandhaute) and I went to Brisbane's newest and hottest makeup store- Illamasqua!

As soon as we got there, our eyes bulged with excited at the vast array of products perfectly laid on the counters. Colours of every imaginable hue were just begging to be experimented with and as soon as we introduced ourselves to our MUA, Suzanne, our makeovers were underway!

Gorgeous Sarah decide to take a walk on the wild side and chose pink/purple eyes with coral lips whilst I did my usual gold/brown smoky eye with nude-ish lips and *GASP* silver highlight on the brow bone! Suzanne challenged us to push our boundaries with what colours we would usually wear- keeping in the company's ethos "Makeup for your alter ego".

Illamasqua's products pack a pigment punch- so much so that they are a cult favourite in the theatre world! These babies do not budge once applied, and trust me, I have been wearing Illamasqua to the gym and it still looks fresh after a class! I have a serious makeup crush!

Products used- Illuminator in Halcyon, Pure Pigment in Breathe, Liquid Metal in Surge, Lipstick in Obey, Powdered Metal in Ether

Halcyon Illuminator used as an eyeshadow base, Breathe Pure Pigment as eyeshadow and Surge Liquid Metal as a brow highlight

Powdered Metal in Ether- used on cheekbones

OBEY ME!

The finished product. So happy!
