5 Minutes With...Alex Box, Illamasqua's Creative Director


Meet the amazing, self-taught makeup artist behind Illamasqua...Alex Box. I recently had the chance to chat to her about makeup and skincare tips! Enjoy...

What are your top three Illamasqua products you couldn't be without? 
Easy! Skin Base Foundation, Lipstick in Box and Eye Brow Cake. I wear red lipstick so much I'm scared my son won't recognise me without it! 

Do you eat anything specific for maintaining your amazing skin?
Of course. I'm absolutely obsessed with skin! I have regular Oxygen Facials which are amazing and I use Natura Bissé, especially their Diamond Skin range. 

What's your all time favourite beauty tip?
Basically to not follow a trend. Find what it is about you that's unique and excentuate it and find the confidence in yourself to do that. 

Do you read beauty blogs?
Now and again when I get a chance. It's great to see what everyone's saying about Illamasqua but I hardly keep up with anything! 

See the makeup look Alex created on me here! 
How do you recommend we use the latest Blush Duo palette?
As the colours are quite bright build on them to suit you, it's always easier to build up colour than apply too much so start slow. I like to use the darker shade underneath and the lighter on top to accentuate cheekbones.
