The Naked Strangers

The Naked Stranger

Here is the story behind this collection from Illamasqua : Uncover the Naked Strangers collection; a place where alter egos are laid bare and naked flesh is a source of unashamed inspiration. In this delicate tipping point between intimacy and pleasurable detachment, we revel in the unknown; exploring the distance between pure Monogamous, gilded Faithful and uninhibited Swinger. Exposed nude tones, adorned with rich licks of gold, leave you gasping for more. Don’t restrain yourself. Unless, of course, you enjoy it.

Here is a makeup tutorial from one of the makeup artists at Illamasqua, I found it really interesting to watch as it said every single product they used. I loved the gold lips, I really like a gold lip but I always just use my supra colour for this, however they used their gold lipgloss which I have never tried before but think I might have to buy one for my kit. 

Products from the collection

Here are the products that came out with the campaign, I really want to go and try the lipgloss as I love to create a gold lip and I think the Neutral Palette looks like a key palette to have as you can create a harsh smokey eye with it or something much softer. I don't think this collection was as big as previous ones because it did not come with a video or the story wasn't as big, I really like the photos that came with this collection especially the idea of using gold leaf in the hair however I do not think it was as bold as previous collections however this has me thinking that not all Illamasqua collections have to be as bold and extravagant, which is something I have to remember when generating ideas.
