Illamasqua Art of Darkness inspired makeup
After toying with notions of light and movement with its Spring/Summer 2010 collection, Illamasqua`s Creative Director Alex Box has now gone in the opposite direction, crafting a fall/winter collection that's rife with a sinister sense of seduction. The Art of Darkness collection, then, explores the idea of the forbidden, taboo, and eerie, inspired by a mythical, underworld-like universe where animalistic, passion-driven Dionysian practices reign supreme.
With my makeup what I was to express it is strong person, with selfcontrol and a lot of domination. Maybe looks to much dramatic, but at the same time very seductive... what in my opinion Illamasqua try to espress with their colletion.
Nordic mythology inspired makeup
Normally the term Norse myths is used, or more misleading Viking myths, but which does not apply to mythological traditions that extend back into a time before the Norse arose. However, what became Norse mythology would have extended back in recognizable form through to the beginning of the Iron Age, and with certain elements extending back even to the Neolithic and beyond.
So my makeup it is inpsired on the nordic mythology and trying to to capture the Iron Age adding to my look a metal efect, using gold eyeshadows. On my front head I try to create a metal head piece, how we allways cand see on almost all the pictures of nordic mythology. The look it is very easy to makeup, you only need pacient to do it, because you need to add a lot of details.
Here you can see some pics of the look.
