Love makeup? Love picking up tips and tricks from the experts? Fancy winning yourself a gorgeous Illamasqua pack worth $50? If you answered yes to these questions, then read on, because I have some great news for you!
Illamasqua, a brand that I absolutely adore for a variety of reasons (among which are their artistic and innovative makeup campaigns, friendly salespeople, high quality products and petition for a fair beauty price) are holding Beauty School Drop-In (BSDI) sessions all over Australia. Each session runs for about 15 minutes and will be conducted by experienced makeup artists, during which you will be taught a variety of techniques on how to achieve everything from flawless skin to a jaw-dropping smoky eye!
The best part? It's completely free-of-charge! Yes, you heard me right, beauties, each BSDI session is completely free, so you are welcome to attend, have a chat with the lovely makeup artists and experiment with new products, at absolutely no cost to you (beyond the price of a train/tram ticket, that is)!
Sessions begin at 11.30 am and run until approximately 3.30 pm, with locations and dates as specified below. It's best to contact your preferred Illamasqua counter to confirm class schedules before dropping in!

I thought their Fight for a Fair Price campaign was great as it got the word out that Australians are paying too much for makeup!
ReplyDeleteYes, it was such a great campaign. :)
DeleteGood luck!

I love the message of Generation Q -
ReplyDeleteI'm beautiful, just different to you.
Kindness, intelligence, class and grace
Make for an agelessly beautiful face.
Excellent answer, good luck!
Deletexx
For making it a fairer priced beauty world for every Australian girl! Advance Illamasqua fair!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! :)
DeleteLove their I'mPerfection campaign. The play on words - imperfection yet I'm Perfection. Clever. Great range that really reflects their brand too.
ReplyDeleteGotta be one of my favourites, too! The products are gorgeous and the play on words is exactly what I'd expect from them!
DeleteGood luck!

I love "Human Fundamentalism", it's so fun and bright, just like people I think! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, some can be. :) Good luck!
Deletexx
I love the message from Generation Q campaign - "Beauty has no age limits". It's a really wonderful message, no matter your age, background or gender.
ReplyDeleteI agree, we are all beautiful in our own ways!
DeleteGood luck!
xx
I'm definitely planning on attending, it sounds really exciting and fun!
ReplyDeleteNow, for my answer!
"Human Fundamentalism allows us to indulge our most primal urge to be different and free!"
Yay hope I win :P

I'mPerfect! So manh of us try to achieve the "perfect" look and we so often forget that our i perfections make us unique and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteEmail: basmah.qazi@hotmail.com
Very true, Basmah!

I'mPerfect, the latest campaign has been my favourite so far. It's those imperfections that make us perfectly unique!

Yes, you've summed it up very well, Alina.
DeleteGeneration Q is the best
ReplyDeleteEven though I love all the rest.
The campaign message was so clear
"Beauty with no age limits" - so SINCERE!!!
25 words - YAY, I made it :P You know where to find me if I get chosen *mwah*
Great answer! I agree completely...very sincere indeed.
DeleteGeneration Q was the best, hot people of all ages and races rocking typical Illamasqua awesomeness.
ReplyDelete=) x
They are awesome indeed!
DeleteA Fair Price for Beauty because it gives me the incentive to support the Australian economy (instead of America's). Abby says no to price discrimination!
ReplyDeleteI say no to price discrimination too!
Deletexx
"Generation Q" Beauty at any age and not trying to dress like a 14 year old is a good maxim to live by.
ReplyDeleteTrue that. :)
DeleteTheatre of the Nameless, which was my introduction to Illamasqua and my first glimpse at how make-up could be an art form.
ReplyDeleteI think it was my introduction too! I'd been aware of the brand but hadn't really dropped by before.
Deletei love I'mperfection, it shows the world that you don't need photoshop to be beautiful, and hey, who doesn't want slime green lips?!
ReplyDeleteWho indeed? :)
DeleteI *may* have purchased that lip gloss...
Human Fundamentalism got to me.
ReplyDeleteThe textures, colours, tribal-vibe, & freedom of it all,
almost like bridging a gap from history to modernity.
Great answer, and very true of that campaign!
DeleteTheir "Not Dreaming Of a White Christmas" campaign was controversial but I thought the red lips, top hat and bow tie were classy and sexy.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I really think that some people were analyzing it too much.
DeleteThank you!!! I loved reading all the entries, there were so many great answers and I am surprised I won, but very very happy, I love Illamasqua :)
