Illamasqua is a portmanteau word, combining the best of the words ‘illusion’ and ‘masquerade’. Unfold an otherworldly collection of cosmetics with Illamasqua, where the make-up possibilities are limitless.
A Leftfield Sensibility
This renegade British beauty brand has been challenging the beauty status quo since its inception in 2008, with a mission to overhaul traditional perceptions of what ‘beauty’ means, and a kaleidoscope of professional cosmetics inspired by the 1920s Berlin theatre scene. During this time, the industry was under pressure to adapt to heavier lighting. Make-up needed to be high-definition, high-performance and flawless at every angle. Illamasqua make-up for the face surpasses the demands of the roaring 20s, with a vitamin-rich, buildable foundation in endless shades and all the tools you need to sculpt and define your face any which way you desire. Illamasqua is disruptive and fearless.
You're not buying into makeup, you're buying into a lifestyle where wabi-sabi (that's the Japanese perspective of finding beauty in flaws) seems to be a leitmotif - because it's your imperfections that make you unique.
Unparallelled Make-up
