I think we all know how amazing some of the Illamasqua makeup campaigns are, ever since I first saw their Valentine promotional images I knew I wanted to try it one day. I think I managed to get close, but the job wasn’t quite as refined and neat as the pros. Still, each attempt is another step towards becoming a better artist 🙂
I painted and cut the nails myself, and completely painted over my rose (same one used in my Alone tutorial). These were not every day friendly nails mind you, I’m pretty sure I accidently poked / scratched / stabbed myself more than I’d like to admit!
The irony that despite this look being inspired by Illamasqua, I haven’t used a single Illamasqua product, I know the irony only just hit me after filming. Unfortunately Illamasqua can prove pricy so I don’t own that many, but their products are truly amazing 🙂
Either way, hope you enjoy the look!

GORGEOUS. The Throb collection promo image is my idea of “perfect” makeup, and you did a great job recreating it!
Aww you’re too sweet!! Thank you 🙂 <3
This is BANG ON. Illamasqua should hire you. There, I’m calling it.
Aww!!! You’re so sweet, I’m not worthy!! *hugs*
LOVE the nails!
Thank you! They were a pain to make, and a pain to wear, but at least they look good XD
