If you want a record of your previous orders, you need to log in NOW, go to “my account” then “order history” and print off your previous orders. It’s that simple – then you can sit back and wait for everything to be revealed…

Your Alter Ego Gallery

Friday is with us again and we have another set of beautiful photos from you and your alter agos. Here are a few of our favourites.

We are inspired by this explotion of colour. Claudia Wklize Pelagatti got experimental to create this beautiful textured look. This colour intense fusion of pigments demonstrates the unique techniques that can be employed with vision and a 'dare to be different' attitude.

Pigments & Palettes unveiled her alter ego using a rainbow of bright shades. At Illamasqua we are known for our colour intense, highly pigmented pieces.. Shop Illamasqua here.

Lily Ursu shared this pastel colour wash look with us. We love the extravagent lashes and use of bright colours. Apply our Powder Eye Shadow in Dizzy on the eyelid and Powder Eye Shadow in Sister below the brow for a similar effect. Powder Eye Shadow in Sex would be great as a highlight under the brow?

We love this deep, decadent make-up done by Nicoleta Timus. Our Intense Lipgloss in Repulse would be perfect to recreate this dark lip. Pure Pigment in Zeitgeist can be used wet or dry.. For an extra intense black, use it wet to build strong black eyes. Our Skin Base Foundation offers a flawless finish for the base for such an indulgent look.

It's Kissing Friday today so don't forget to apply your favourite Illamasqua Lipgloss and kiss away this weekend. Have a good one!

Illamasqua Medium Pencils

Medium Pencils are a favourite at HQ, their versatility & blendability allow you to use your imagination when wearing them. Today I wore Medium Pencil in Manic on my lips and decided to share with you some of out favourite Medium Pencils and how they can be used...

Revel in the drama of your individuality. Use the creamy Illamasqua Medium Pencil to create sultry eyes and sensuous lips. Designed to glide over skin and create a long-lasting, colour-true finish. Write a different story with every look.

Medium Pencil in Manic

This colour looks stunning on the lips and applies with great precision. Why not also rock a coloured eyebrow using this? 

Medium Pencil in Interrogate

Medium Pencil in Interrogate is perfect for a soft lip liner if worn with a nude lipstick like Illamasqua Lipsticks in Test & Sonnet. This can also be used as a contour, apply the pencil in short diagonal lines below the cheeks and blend. Sweep over eyebrows for a light, natural looking brow.

Medium Pencil in Vow

Vow can be applied to the inner eyelid to add that extra sparkle to the eyes. You can use Vow in the same way as Interrogate to create a highlight above the cheekbones on below the brow. 

Medium Pencil in Sophie

Of course Sophie has to be one of our favourite Medium Pencils. It is our ultimate black pencil and it's soft and blendability is great for a smokey eye. We have recently launched a look using the Sophie Pencil and few other Illamasqua cult products.
