My Makeup: Speckled Eyes & Lips With Illamasqua



Illamasqua's latest collection, Imperfection not only includes multiple exciting new launches but the message that comes with the collection is wonderful - celebrate your imperfections as opposed to covering them up, cue enhancing features like freckles to work with them as opposed to against them.

Illamasqua Speckled Nail Varnish in Speckle £14.50
There are many nail effects I've seen come and go but the Illamasaqua latest is a keeper - speckled nails. Almost mini egg like with a glossy finish available in five shades from pink to green, the shade that's been gracing my nails is Speckle a soft Lilac.



Along with the speckled nails goes something I had trouble parting with, not only because Illamasqua's creative director Alex Box actually applied it on me, but because it gave the most beautiful deer like effect to the eyes whilst looking slightly different and creative. Alex used their Precision Ink in the shade Abyss, a glossy black, along with Scribe on my eyes. 


Along with these two come some other exciting launches (hello blush palettes!) that will all be available from the 31st of January. Will you be picking up anything from the Illamasqua Imperfection collection?

  1. I'm loving the mini-egg appearance of the nail varnishes, although they're a bit on the pricier side.

  2. The nail polishes look beautiful, I just wish I could justify £15 for one of them!
