NEW! S/S Illamasqua Human Fundamentalism

I'm sure many of you have noticed that Illamasqua have had an overhaul of their website. I love that you can now view 'real life' swatches of products - very useful. Navigation is much easier and makes online shopping far more enjoyable.  The image currently featured on the homepage is taken from their new spring/summer collection, Human Fundamentalism, and it certainly wetted my appetite for what the unique brand had in store with their latest launches.

The new look Illamasqua website

As always, Illamasqua go beyond conformity and their latest collection is no different. Human Fundamentalism is an explosion of colour which contrasts textures and shades which encourage the wearer to be as tame or experimental as they'd like.

Make up should be fun and not confined to age or mainstream limitations. I admire Illamasqua for continuously promoting this message and not churning out the monotonous, 'safe' looks that some brands stick to.

Human Fundamentalism features two eye shadow palettes, Fundamental (£30.00) which  includes glistening Liquid Metal in molten pewter to matt cream pigment in mint green. Bold yellow and rich violet are also thrown into the mix.

The Neutral Palette (£30.00) is ‘a Kardashians dream’. Create a perfect sex-kitten smoky eye using Illamasqua’s new antique gold shade, Vintage and matt shades Stealth (creamy buttermilk) and Wolf (rich chocolate brown). Obsidian (rich black) adds depth to a classic look.

Eye shadow palette swatches - love 'em both!

New polishes -Stance (fuchsia violet) and Nomad (Bright Jade). £13.50 each.

Check out the new Limited Edition Skin Base Foundation in Au (£25), the chemical symbol for gold. This contains tiny flecks of metallic shimmer. Great for ALL skin tones, you can mix this with moisturiser or foundation, use it as an eye primer, a cheek contour or wear it alone or a luminous effect.

Singe eye shadows!

Lipstick swatches, single eye shadow and precision ink swatches

I dare you to take your lip colour up a notch with Apocalips, a vibrant teal shade. Failing that, don a scarlet pout with Box, a rich red. Both priced £15.50.

Alex Box was also on hand showing off the Human Fundamentalism collection in all its glory. 

Personally, I love both the eye palettes, the idea of the new Skin Base and dare I say it, the teal lipstick! No, I can't ever envisage doing the weekly shop down in Tesco wearing it, but the promo image is pure fiyah!!

Human Fundamentalism is available worldwide from March 14th, online from Illamasqua.com and at Sephora.

So, first impressions? What do you guys think?
