Illamasqua at the Bizarre Ball

10.06.10

The eagerly anticipated 3rd annual Bizarre Ball took rocked into town at the Coronet Theatre in London on Saturday 5th June. An eclectic mix of alternative, burlesque, performance, music and much, much more, it featured the central theme of 'Circus'. So harnessing their inner acrobats, the Illamasqua team gathered up their make-up kits and prepared to wow the partygoers.

We hosted an exclusive Illamasqua Lounge, for those who had purchased S.O.P.H.I.E. wristbands and for guests of Illamasqua, including Sylvia Lancaster, Joe Corre, Lady Lloyd and Illamasqua's HQ team.


The beautiful black velvet drapery, a plush chaise longue and Old Hollywood style mirrors gave the lounge a seductively dark feel, and the likes of Bizarre Ball compere Alix Fox and club night diva Jodie Harsh popped in to see us and have their make-up done before the event kicked off. Check out the foxy finish Mika created for Alix below!

Throughout the night National Make-up Artists Mika, Adam, Lucy G and Lucie N created incredible looks for guests, and enjoyed meeting a whole range of alter egos. The chance to self-express to extremes went down a storm, and an amazing time was had by all.

Valentines Day at Selfridges

05/01/10

We’re celebrating Valentine’s Day a little differently this year. And as strong believers in the power of self-expression, we want you to be bold. Why write a message in a card when you could write it on yourself instead?

Our professional make-up artists will help you do just that when you purchase any Illamasqua product from either our Oxford Street, Manchester or Birmingham counters on 13^th February. They’ll be offering all customers a unique ‘scribing’ service, where they’ll use Eye Liner Cake mixed with Sealing Gel to handwrite a message of your choice anywhere on your body. Or someone else’s…

And to turn up the heat further, simply purchase an Eye Liner Cake and Sealing Gel set and you’ll receive a complimentary Coco de Mer black satin blindfold and a set of Seduction Cards.

So let your body become the canvas and express yourself on your skin this Valentine’s Day.

She’ll be taking centre stage in one of our display windows to deliver her ‘make-up manifesto’.

Expect props, balloons and, of course, glitter!

The Illamasqua team will also be on hand with devilishly delicious chocolate covered strawberries. Now if that doesn't make you Throb.....
