Directors Cut: Glasgow

A new series, Directors Cut will showcase looks that our teams on the Illamasqua counters have been conjuring up! Every week, the teams submit an image to us and the best one will have pride of place on the Illamasqua blog.

This week's winners were the team up at Debenhams Glasgow. Alan tells me more...

"We were inspired by the porcelain doll picture from Alex Box's book, but we gave it a more wearable spin. Megan [brunette] went for deep reds and wines for her look. She also cut up False Eye Lashes No2 to fit her lash line and wore these both on top and bottom lash lines."

"Aileen [blonde] used the False Eye Lashes No10 on the underneath of her eye and contrasted a shimmering pale eye with rosy cheeks and an interesting mix of Medium Pencil in 'Obscene' and Lipstick in 'Box'."

"I went my favourite False Eye Lashes No14 with a mix of Powder Eye Shadow's in Bronx and Tangle to contour my eyes and a splash of Lipstick in Avenge for a bold mouth. I finished with a vibrant mix of Powder Blushers in 'Excite' and 'Thrust'."

Pastel Nails: Get on the Waiting List!

From tomorrow [Wednesday 21st January] Illamasqua will take over an extra site at Selfridges Oxford St to showcase the highly anticipated Pastel Nail Varnishes.

Due to phenomenal demand both online and in store, we have had to come up with a waiting list that is debuting at Selfridges Oxford St from tomorrow. To pre-order the bang-on-trend Nudge, Wink, Caress and Blow, just come along to the site between now and Thursday to sign up.

These colours will be launching online and in store from March and we predict a sell out.

Nicola Chapman [one half of Pixiwoo and fashionface.tv] will also be on the site from tomorrow. If you want your make-up done by one of the most talented make-up artists I have ever had the pleasure to meet, book in by calling 0207 318 3114. £20 redeemable against purchases made on the day.
