Illamasqua Contest - ELEMENTALS

Its time for another contest brought to you by myself and Illamasqua, inspired by the new Body Electrics Collection.

It seems like FOREVER since the last contest, so hopefully you are all feeling inspired and creative again - I can't WAIT to see the looks you talented lot come up with!

Prizes will all be from the new collection and there will be a first and second prize...

First Prize will be an illumine oil (shade to be confirmed) and a liquid metal palette containing all four liquid metals

Second Prize will be a full size bronzer in the shade Burnish and a nail varnish in the shade Prism

As always this is also a great chance to have your work seen by Illamasqua's creative director Alex Box, and finalists and winners will also recieve coverage on the Illamaqua blog and website!

Inspired by the Body Electrics collection, the theme of the contest is (drumroll please....)

The aim of the contest is to come up with a look inspired by one or more of the four elements - Earth, Wind, Fire and Water.

As always with these contests, the aim is to get your creative juices flowing - entries will be judged on creativity as well as skill, so don't be put off if you have never entered before and are intimidated - My aim with the contests is always for them to be fun, not intimidating, and often past winners have been the "underdogs" so give it a whirl!

Be as creative as you can and most of all HAVE FUN!

Your look can be based on one of the elements, or you can bring in two, three or all four. As long as the look is of your own creation, and is based on the elements, it will be counted. Think creatively too - for example a look inspired by the Water element could be inspired by ice...

The contest will run for a month - closing date will be 31st May 2010 at midnight GMT. 

The Rules;

Contest entries are to be in the form of (non-photoshopped) photo entries - these may be in the form of a blog post, or you can email me them to me directly. You can find my email address on the right.... If you are a YouTuber you can of course do a video of your entry, but YOU MUST also email me stills of the entry for judging purposes for your entry to count.

If you decide to do your entry via a blog post, then let me know by posting a comment with a link below, and feel free to acknowledged by a reply email - again, feel free to harass me until I respond! If your entry takes the form of a video etc, please make sure you email me stills and that I acknowledge your entry. Feel free to hassle me until I do!

You MUST be a subscriber or follower of the blog to enter (given the amunt of time and work I spend on running the contests, I feel this is a reasonable request!)

 
Your entry MUST BE AN ORIGINAL LOOK OF YOUR OWN CREATION - any looks which are copies/recreations of existing looks will be disqualified.

Use any products or any media you like to create your look, products do not have to be from any particular brand.

If you are too shy to be photographed yourself then you may use a willing volunteer - please get their permission to have their photos published online if your look is a finalist. Just ensure the look is of your own creation.

The contest closes at Midnight GMT, 31st May 2010. This is the final deadline.

Finalists will be announced as soon as possible after the deadline. As always finalists will be chosen by myself and Krystal, who has kindly agreed to help continue judging the contests despite no longer working for Illamasqua. 

Finalists will then be judged by Alex Box, creative Director of Illamasqua, and international makeup artist. 


All decisions re finalists and winners will be final.


The contest is OPEN INTERNATIONALLY, and you can enter AS MANY TIMES AS YOU WISH TO - All entries will be judged on individual merit.

HAVE FUN!
