Hey, Is anyone entering the Distinction in make-up Artistry awards fromIllamasqua? I need some inspiration! I've posted a thread on this already I recevied their press release and it reads as follows:
Illamasqua is a brand that has always encouraged self-expression in its purest form, without inhibitions or constraint. That’s why we are proud to be launching the biggest prize in professional make-up art.
If you see yourself as the next big name in make-up art, if your future lies working on international photo shoots or an award-winning TV series, if you dream of rubbing shoulders with the fashion elite, then this is where you make your mark.
