Usually when beauty brands collaborate with non-beauty entities, we get products like True Blood-themed eye palettes. Not today: makeup brand Illamasqua (which makes great lipstick, for the record) have just announced they’re teaming up with “established family funeral directors Leverton & Sons” to create looks for the afterlife. The service is called The Final Act of Self-Expression.
According to Illamasqua:
This unique service encourages people for whom making-up is an intimate part of their identity to plan their final transformation – one that pays tribute to who they were in life and how they want to enter the afterlife [...] Illamasqua encourages people to self-express and embrace their alter ego in every way – why should this be any different when you pass away? It is a celebration of life, and one that should be indulged for your last glamorous look. [...] To wear the most fabulous make-up applied by a professionally trained make-up artist for your final journey is the ultimate statement of celebration.
