Illamasqua's plans for IMATS...

This weekend will see the arrival of the most exciting event in the Make-Up calendar…IMATS! For those of you who have been in previous years, I’m sure the tickets have been booked for many months, for those of you new to the experience, you can still buy tickets, but hurry!

Hosted at Alexandra Palace, IMATS showcases the best of student and pro talent, with Illamasqua occupying a large stand (811) to meet you all near to the Education stage.

The talented, professional Illamasqua team are busily preparing for IMATS 2011. The expert team of six professional Make-Up artists will be providing stunning transformations across both days and will be on hand to share their creativity and advice with any who visit them at the Illamasqua stand (811).

Many of the artists attending IMATS represent Illamasqua as National Artists, including Mika, Daniel Sallstrom and Clare Lille who regularly travel across the UK to share their visions and talent with Illamasqua followers.

All 4 wonderful assistants to Spob, Illamasqua’s Head of Professional Development will also be working hard at IMATS this year, transforming models and talking to any aspiring Make-Up artists.

Working closely with Illamasqua to share their creative talent and fresh, evolving imaginations, Tamara Ramsey Crockett, Kat Sykes, Hailey Williams and Emma Foley have been involved with many artistic projects with Illamasqua.

This creative quadruplet have contributed creatively to the visions of Illamasqua over the past year to produce bespoke Mannequins for the launch of Illamasqua’s counter in Melbourne, Australia, Kitsch inspired ‘Reindogs’ for the Flagship store’s Christmas window and most recently they have customised something exclusive for Illamasqua to be revealed soon…

Tamara, a graduate of West Thames was last year’s overall winner with her beautifully striking entry for 2010….
