Luxe Inspiration from Alex Box

I'm so upset as I write this as my fave MUA Alex Box is having a book launch of her collaboration with Rankin (second mention of his work this week!) next week, which I was invited to.

For various reasons though(lets just say I am having homicidal thoughts about whoever it was that invented the five week month) I cannot go... I actually could cry!

Anyway, rather than spread my misery, I have decided to show you a few of the images from the book. A picture says a thousand words, and these pics sum up why I love Alex's work, and her approach to makeup artistry (with the emphsis being on the ART)


Its hard to pick a favourite from these images, but I personally loved the black and white look - so striking, simple yet complex. I can't help but look at these images and wonder "how did she do that!"

Yes, the book costs £50, but I so want me a copy!

Love the black & white pict, to me it looks like a modern take on Maori's body tattoos. :D

I'm really sorry you can't make it. I'm doing my utmost to try and juggle stuff so I can get there myself but it's not looking good right now :(

I love all the looks but especially the B&W one.

Sorry to hear you cannot go x
I think I'll buy that book for my husband as he likes that sort of imagery. They are stunning, although the black and white one scares me a bit :O

I love the 2nd image... it's kinda pierrot with an edgier twist. Sorry you can't go :( I understand how disappointed you must be. xx

That sucks that you can't go. :(

I'm missing the launch party too. Gutted to say the least. What an incredible duo. She and Illamasqua are the first brand, I think, to give MAC a run for their money in a long time. Thanks for the pics. xx JT
