Illamasqua: Spread a little envy

Being known for their daringly different make-up shoots, with elaborative but imaginative ideas, Illamasqua have now released their Christmas range, aiming to produce envy in any onlooker of your gift; the only flaw – if you buy an item as a present you might not be able to relinquish your hold over it. 

With their Gatsby-style packaging, enhancing the simple black and gold approach, you’ll already feel obliged to attend a masquerade ball in a show-stopping dress; you’d definitely be armed with the make-up to suit. 

Their collection showcases an array of indulgent options to choose from, with their Freak Scarab perfume, captivating corruption with a dark scent of blood orange, ylang ylang, Egyptian jasmine and the richness of mousse de sax. It also challenges even the most audacious people with the Sacred Stones by Swarovski Elements, jewels that you can apply to your face and body. The collection also proudly presents the luxurious Limited Edition Black Christmas Gift Box, beholding a nine-piece kit to create four unique looks, created by the School of Make-up Art. 

The website handily has tutorials on how to use each product correctly, ensuring each customer gets the most out of the gift they have received, or have treated themselves with – everybody needs to buy a pre-Christmas present to take the pressure off. 

Whether you’re playing the excellent present-giver part this year, or taking the self-indulgent route to bide your time this holiday season, Illamasqua has you covered with individual products and gift sets making the perfect accompaniment to your excellent taste.
