Director's Cut: Birmingham

This week's Director's Cut winners are the Selfridges Birmingham team!




I have yet to visit this counter, but I have read glowing praises from customers and the team members seem to be a fantastic lot! Judging by their entry to the Director's Cut, it really shows!

Well done, guys. Looking forward to next week's entries...

Adam in Birmingham Tuesday 19th - Saturday 23rd January

One of our National Make-up Artists, Adam, will be in Selfridges Birmingham this week as a very special guest of the Illamasqua counter!

Adam has experience working with some of the top names in showbiz including Rihanna, Fergie and Nicole Schwerzinger. He has also worked as a make-up artist for ten years and his experiences include alternative work as well as fashion shows such as Burberry and Alexander McQueen.

He loves to experiment with his variety of alter-egos - including the wonderful Medusa [below] - and is a wonderful make-up artist.

To book a personalised, one-on-one make-up lesson with Adam, call 0121 600 6818 - but hurry as place are sure to book fast - for £30, redeemable against purchases made on the day.

Birmingham In Store Event

Pam - one of our wonderful new national artists - told us that the mood was very Phantom of the Opera; "We chose a colour scheme of red and black - lots of Powder Eye shadow in 'Daemon' and 'Gimp' as well as flawless pale skins. Lipstick in 'Box' has been a hit with the team, too. It was our take of the Prada catwalks - reds are suprisingly easy to wear on the eyes and flattering to most skin tones."


Sophie Jewes, Marketing and Events manager at Selfridges Birmingham, told me that Illamasqua added to "what was a fabulous beauty evening all around. Illamasqua added a gorgeous splash of colour - the team went to town onderfully with their make-up looks. Birmingham ladies are all set to fall in love with Illamasqua!"

To speak to the Illamasqua team at Selfridges Birmingham, you can call them on 0121 600 6818

Illamasqua To The Bullring!

I'm thrilled to officially announce that Illamasqua will be launching in the Birmingham Selfridges in November!

I have had many requests from Midlands dwellers eager for some Illamasqua! Well now you do not have to journey to London/ Trafford/ Cardiff for a counter as the Bullring in Birmingham will soon be home to a brand new Illamasqua counter.
