Description
Made to be played with. A metallic, high-shine, pure-colour powder that highlights eyes, cheeks and brows. Mix with eye shadow, blusher or use it on its own to intense effect. Bring out your bold side.
Illamasqua is the product of a heady mix of influences. Its roots stem from the dark and illicit 1920s club scene, and combine a rich heritage in the manufacture of make-up for film and theatre. It also takes inspiration from members of the ‘alternative scenes’ for whom self-expression is paramount. Alternative cultures have always dared to be dramatic. They have an emotional attachment to making up. It’s an expression of their darker side, a release for their alter ego.
Illamasqua is for the bolder person hiding inside all of us. It is an act and an attitude. A symbol of tolerance. A celebration of idiosyncrasies. A confident statement of self-ownership.

Summary
I was kindly given this eye pigment by a friend who is a college theatrical makeup tutor. She knew I liked earthy colours and suggested I try this pigment. When I fist applied it was completely gob smacked!! The pigment is intense and is described as auburn shimmers but this is a bright, dramatic brick red with added and very evident shimmer particles. When applied the powder is creamy smooth and a tiny amount of product on the brush colours the whole lid. There is no flake or drop from this powder and the colour is so dramatic you really cannot believe your eyes!! I used the pigment wet as a liner the results are jaw dropping! The colour can be layered to requirement and it is long lasting. With primer the colour stayed fresh for 10 hours, without primer 6 hours. The pigment does not settle into lines or crease and the 'disco ball' multi-faceted shimmer is stunning! The pot is a classic diamond shape with an inner opaque sieve with one central hole. This ensures that you do not over apply the product or lose your precious shadow when you open the pot. If you like bold dramatic, awe inspiring colour this is for you!!
