Illamasqua Once

Illamasqua Once

As I just love Alex Box her make-up is amazing and I have always loved this make-up design since it first came out in 2014. It has so many Elizabethan make-up references and is so inspiring.

Illamasqua- Once Collection

This gives of the Elizabethan theme with the white base, the rosy blush on the cheeks and the light coloured eyebrows. This make-up reminds me of purity and I love how flawless it looks. It not only the make-up that gives it the Elizabethan feel its the whole image from the clothing, hair and the way the image is taken even reminds me of a portrait. This has gave me some good ideas for my final piece. I am going to try this make-up and see what products worked well and what I liked about the final look.

Portraits that look similar

I think this portrait looks really similar to the Once Illamasqua images, with the make-up being similar with the white base and the pink like blusher, light looking eyebrows, some colour to the lips and the eyes looking a bit rounded.
