Thanks again to Krystle who has sent me these amazing inspiration pics for the villains out there!
The first one above was a drawing actually inspired by a combination of Beatrix Kiddo from Kill Bill, and Krystal herself - Love this!
I don't know if it's meant to, but the next one reminds me of the evil queen from Snow White - maybe its that apple!
A very strikingly evil look... could this be inspired by Darth Maul?
Hammer house of horrors?
This one reminds me of a snow queen, or gothic comic book vampiress...
Loving the use of monochrome here to create a striking, contoured and sinister look...Beautiful!
Dramatic use of colour and contouring create a different twist on villainy...
Yet again, proving that often the simplest ideas are the most effective... I adore this one...
A creative mask look - masks to me can be used to represent Superheroes or villains...
Keep those entries coming in - you are all FAB!

Contest Inspiration - Superheroes and Villains!
Tuesday, 4 August 2009
Contest Time!
Well, its about that time again... lets get carried away with our creative sides and play with colour and have a lot of fun in the process... It's my absolute pleasure to announce that the theme for the next Illamasqua contest is (drumroll please!).....
So dig out your comic books guys and girls, and lets play!!!
Without further ado...
The rules
There will be two categories for the contest - ie Superheroes and villains. You can enter either or both categories. After a lot of discussion, we have decided to continue to allow people to enter as many times as they like, however, please remember that your favourite look that you have created may not necessarily be the one that myself and Krystle choose to go through to the finalists. If similar issues arise as did with the last contest as a result of our decision, we may be forced to reassess this, and limit everyone to one entry, which we really don't want to do!
The contest is about makeup, not costumes - you don't need to go out hiring a costume or anything like that!
Your entry may either be in the form of a blog post or a video on you tube - if you decide to do a video entry, then please also email me stills for judging purposes
Your entry should be your interpretation of a hero or a villain, your look must be original. In your entry, please tell us a bit about your hero/villain, about any superpowers that have and what led you to the look you have created. You don't need to go into massive detail, but we love to know about what inspires people!
When you have completed your entry, please post a response below to let me know, and make sure I acknowledge your entry by commenting back - feel free to harass me til I do this! I do not want to miss anyones hard work!
Use any products you like, and tell us about what you used (ie you do not have to use Illamasqua!)
Its fine to use a willing volunteer if you do not wish to be photographed yourself, however, the look MUST have been created by you.
The contest is open internationally
Please make sure you subscribe to the blog.
The contest will close at midnight UK time on friday the 4th September (which is slightly more than 1 month!).
Finalists will be selected by myself and Krystal - the winners will then be chosen by Alex Box, who has kindly agreed to be the final judge! Winners will be announced approx a week later. Judges decisions are final!
Final prizes to be announced, there will be ONE winner in Each Category - ie one SuperHero and one Villain, but each will win some lovely makeup of their choice from Illamasqua... Winning looks will be published on this blog and the Illamasqua blog
Remember - BE CREATIVE, HAVE FUN AND BE ORIGINAL!
