As we approach the beginning of the academic year, we want to give a huge welcome to all of our new students joining us and choosing to study with one of our academic partners, we can’t wait to be a part of your journey.
Frankie Mckernon Head of professional development has been working hard with your colleges/ universities to put together beautiful bespoke kit packages that will enable you to explore the world of makeup artistry and develop your skills.
Frankie talks about kit building, “pigment and product versatility is key when building out your makeup kit. As you begin this new journey start to think of your products in colour and texture terms rather than what it was designed to do and you will see the possibilities are endless”.
Our high performing colour defies industry standards with distinctive payoff and pigment. A passion for artistry is in our blood, and at the heart of everything we create. Our anti conformist attitude and irreverent style rejects the conventions of the beauty industry and emboldens the brave.
With 10 ultra-matte colours and 12 oil-infused sheer shades, the new Ultramatter and Sheer Veil Lipstick ranges join forces with best-selling semi-matte Antimatter Lipstick and coveted high-gloss Loaded Lip Polish to form an all-encompassing Illamasqua lip collection.
