Illamasqua Welcome to the Darkside !!!!


 Hello Ladies I was lucky enough to be sent 2 of the new products from Illamasqua Art Of Darkness collection. Now i happen to really love Illamasqua products, i love the fact that they push the boundaries when it comes to makeup and always seem to come up with new and exciting launches.
The art of darkness is a full on impact collection with some gorgeous deep mysterious shades to offer both the professional makeup artist and the everyday consumer.


I have to say my favourite products from this collection are the nail polishes




The 2nd polish in this row is named Viridian and has to be a definite favourite priced at £13 it should be a popular choice this autumn/winter
Or you could get the whole set for £39.50. I would love to try these colours out they all look stunning.


So anyway i was sent a lipstick in Disciple which is a deep navy almost black colour which has a very matte finish.



Also i received the liquid metal in Resolute which is a deep russet colour with a beautiful high shine finish. This product is multi functional and can be used on eyes, lips, face & body.




Swatches:






These products gave me the inspiration to try out a look way out of my comfort zone, but it's the perfect range to have a play with and do something different. So here's what i came up with:


Liquid metal on eyes


These are the photos untouched showing the real colours but i decided they would look good in black and white instead.




So that's my take on the collection
I hope you like it xx
