NO COLOR NO LIFE!

My mentor ~ Caroline Young.



Without Caroline, I don't think I'm able to be who I'm today.
With her gentle care and training, Caroline encouraged me for who I am today.

As in me memory lane, I started of working with MAC at Knightbridge, London.
I was just a quiet, happy bunny and crazy 'kampong boy' with all sort freaky hairstyle trying to make it in London as a makeup artiste, very much happy to just settled with MAC as Retail Artiste. Till I met Caroline who was my trainer at the time, who encouraged me to improve my communication skills, makeup technique and how to be a great person in your own way as an artiste. By her showering me with all the latest trend and makeup technique, I am able to worked with some of the top artiste in the world, like Sharon Downsett, Val Garland, Gordon Espinet, Lucia Peroni, Terry Barber..etc etc. By working with all the artiste mentioned earlier, I've got the chance to expose to London Fashion Week and Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. Amazing experiences and great expose. I valued every minute of it.

Caroline is one of the greatest artiste I've ever met.

THANKS! CAROLINA........

NO COLOR NO LIFE!

Love this tag line by Illamasqua.

Ode To My Alter Ego
My alter ego is the person I want to become.
She's darker, bolder, braver.
She's a more interesting version of me.
She doesn't hold back.
She doesn't give a damn.
Sometimes, I let myself become my other I.
When she walks out and takes over,
I fall in love with who I am


NO COLOR NO LIFE!

Alex Box, creator of ILLAMASQUA.


Alex Box has a background in fine art, She didn't intend to become a Make-up Artist but just ended up here. When her Art grew and took to the body and face it was noticed and a slight change of direction was suggested by friends.
Which means that her career as a make-up artist was born out of sheer talent rather than intention.
Today, Her make-up explores the relationship between art, science, nature and the magical.

Alex told us that she never has a plan when creating a look. It just comes about organically and while she appreciates that the visuals may not be to everyone taste, the fact that they are getting talked about is exactly the point.

After meeting the cast of colorful characters behind Illamasqua I really feel that this is a totally unique brand.
Unique because Illamasqua is fuelled by passion, raw talent and a huge respect for what each individual brings to the table.
Rather than creating easy to sell diluted products Illamasqua take risks and ultimately its paying off.

ILLMASQUA ~ new range of cosmetic created by Alex Box.





Gotta know about this range of cosmetic by an old pal of mine back in London. Love the visual! Very CREATIVE and DRAMA! ( the visual may be too eye catching, till your eye may hurt by looking at it!!!! you been warn! ) Hope I am able to try this products one day.....
Audrey, ship some to me pleaseeeeeeeee...............

Not for the faint hearted, Illmasqua's Dystopia is a strong statement of defiant confidence. Where the dark meets the light. Monochrome shades build and blend, brought alive by flashes of intense pink and lurid purple, while dazzling pigments, metallic textures and iridescent finishes all add to the drama of this strikingly uncompromising look.

NO COLOR NO LIFE!

HAVE FUN!
