ILLAMASQUA CONTEST!

Hi Everyone!

I hope you are all well!

Well I decided I've teased you all enough with my Illamasqua goodies and my tease the other day, so lets get down to business...

The Illamasqua brand is all about drama and "unleashing your alter ego". So basically, that's what I want you all to do... This is a contest about dramatic night-time makeup. The looks you've always wanted to try, but never had a reason or an excuse to... Until Now!

The Rules....

• You must create a dramatic look using makeup. This can be inspired by the promo photos in this post, or you can take inspiration from anywhere else you like. So if you've always had a thing about vampires, a secret love of the gothic look, or you want to use colours inspired by your favourite piece af artwork/album cover...You could even recreate a look inspired by a period in history or time, such as the 20's or 50's... Anything goes as long as it's creative!
• The contest will run for approx 1 month and closes on midnight on the last day of April 2009 UK time.
• You must be a subscriber to my blog to enter the contest!
• Valid entries will have a photo/photo's (or you can enter a video if you want to!), a brief explaination of the inspiration behind it, and a description of how the look was achieved, ie what makeup you used... This is mostly because I want to know how you are all going to go about creating your looks!
• You do not have to be a UK resident - I will ship to anywhere with the prizes.
• If you don't want to be photographed yourself, that's fine, you can use a willing volunteer, just so long as you have done the look yourself!
• You can enter more than one look if you like, and entries can be made in one post or as seperate posts - each look will count as a single entry.
• You can use products from any range - they do not have to be from Illamasqua! This would be very unfair as it's not nationwide as yet!
• When you have done your look, publish it as a blog post on your blog, and leave a comment on my blog to let me know.
• If you do not have a blog, you can email your entry to me at jennifer.worthington1979@gmail.com
• There will be three prizes, first, second and third place. I have contacted Illamasqua regarding the contest and they are sending me some products for prizes - Once I have recieved the products I will make a final announcement of the prizes. In any case first prize will be a customised palette of any four shades of the winners choice. Second prize will be either one blush and eyeshadow/two eyeshadows of the runner up's choice, and third place will be an eye shadow or lipstick/gloss from the range, which the third prize winner will chose. Obviously these prizes will be added to by Illamasqua, so a final announcement will be made as soon as possible!

While doing my own Illamasqua haul yesterday (see my post below!) I mentioned the contest to the makeup artists, and the lovely Krystle who works for Illamasqua and also has a blog (please check her blog out at http://www.krystleclayton.blogspot.com/ )which features some amazing looks, which may inspire you even further, has kindly agreed to act as co-judge with me! That means that you can all be assured that the judging will be totally fair - no favouritism here lol!

I hope you all enjoy playing with your makeup and coming up with some looks for us! I'm so excited and can't wait til I recieve you entries!

Please let me know if there are any questions you have, and get creating!

Love
