My Illamasqua Make Up Course Experience

Okay so I know I  previously said that I wouldn't talk about the Illamasqua make up course I attended because I wanted to avoid annoying the company by talking about it without their permission BUT I doubt showing my own work from the course will get me in trouble. There were various tasks to complete, each developing critical skills necessary in the make up industry. This included precision line work, blending, colour application, the perfect lip, skin sculpture and lash application. I wasn't able to get a picture of every single task we completed but the following pictures are from the few tasks I did manage to take a cheeky snap.

The smokey eye

The "Sophie Eye" (cut crease) without foundation application (I didn't have time to take a photo of the finished look) 

The colourful eye with false lashes

The Illamasqua "Throb" look (This was our final challenge. We were given a black and white copy of the "Throb" promo image from Illamasqua's 2011 Valentine's Day collection and told to recreate it using our own colours. I went for a ombre red to black brow, orange cut crease and a green lip with a gold pigment placed in the centre)

So that was a sneaky peek at what I got up to during my time at Illamasqua's School of Make Up Artistry on Beak Street. I had such an incredible time and feel so much more knowledgeable and confident about make up since completing the course. This was also my first time ever doing an extravagant look like Throb and it has definitely made me want to do more of this more creative style.
