Illamasqua Leeds Beauty Drop In

On Sunday at the Illamasqua store in Leeds there were running a free beauty drop in. I went to see the Very Berry Christmas Make up.


The Leeds store is quite small and then you go upstairs for the session. It was very busy I had to stand at the back, but I still got a really good view as it was a very small room.



It was amazing how many different ways their medium pencils could be used. On the above make up the  artist showed it blended into the socket line of the eye. Used it to contour the cheeks and also to outline the lips. I liked the idea of their pencils so much I bought one to try out. 

Another really interesting part was the eyebrow work they did. The artist filled in the eyebrow and then highlighted the area around it with a light concealer. It was incredible how much of a difference this made.

The artist explained why Illamasqua do not use SPF in their foundations. The reason for this is that it reflects too more under lights when take high definition photos.

I hope they run more beauty drop in sessions in the future.
