I can finally confirm that myself and Alex (the lovely PR peep I have been working on launching the contests with...) have managed to secure a very special person to make the final judgements on the winners of the contests... So while me and Krystle will still be responsible for picking the finalists, I am so pleased and very very proud to say that the fabulous Alex Box - makeup artist and creative director of Illamasqua) has agreed to judge and choose winners for us from the finalists...
I'm sure Alex needs no introduction, however here is the lady herself -
Another shot above, and below - Alex in action backstage at London Fashion Week...
Below - a couple of examples of Alex's work - these shots are taken from a past issue of Vogue magazine...Alex is also the creative force behind the promo images on the Illamasqua website as well as the videos on the Illamasqua Youtube channel...
I'm extremely pleased to be able to share this news - I suggested this idea thinking it would never happen, so I'm thrilled that Alex has agreed to do this, and I hope you will all really enjoy doing your entries for the first contest, which I am bursting to announce!The idea behing asking Alex to judge was to ensure that people actually get a chance to have their work seen by a leading makeup artist, to make sure the judging is fair and impartial, and to take the pressure off me and Krystal LOL - I hope you agree that Alex agreeing to help has achieved all three goals!
