A
place where alter egos are laid bare and naked flesh is a source of
unashamed inspiration. In this delicate tipping point between intimacy
and pleasurable detachment, we revel in the unknown; exploring the
distance between pure Monogamous, gilded Faithful and uninhibited
Swinger. Exposed nude tones, adorned with rich licks of gold, leave you
gasping for more. Don’t restrain yourself. Unless, of course, you enjoy
it.
“Naked
Strangers captures inner glows and depths. The deeply and darkly
alluring exists alongside ethereal shimmering brilliance. We are complex
and multifaceted whilst also being naked to the world.”
Alex Box, Illamasqua Creative Director.
“Naked
Strangers represents everything about borderlines...the human edge
between romance and permissive intimacy...a step beyond control, a step
past the edge and a collection of gilded moments upon the tip of
sensation. Beautiful nudes with metallic edge set amongst eclectic
textures.”
David Horne, Illamasqua Director of Product Development.

The Naked Strangers collection is available from Thursday 31st May 2012 globally.
That's a pretty different turn from the usual summer collections, isn't it? When most brands bring out bright colors, neons, and so on, Illamasqua thinks about barely there make-up.
It could have something to do with the other recent collection they put out, which was indeed a celebration of color (I'm talking about Human Fundamentalism), or because they just want to make a statement.
I don't care much, all I know is that I like it. The idea is that, during summer, we all wear less clothes, we all get tanned (well, some more than others, but thanks twentieth century, for fake tans and lamps) and we don't need much make-up. Nude shades, some highlighting hints of gold, and considerably long lashes are just enough. If you really want a pop of color, a bright lipstick or lipgloss is just enough.
Plus, the good news is: these colors will never be out of fashion or out of season.
Naked Strangers it is!
On another note, did you know that Skin Base foundation now comes in six new shades, increasing the total to 25 shades. That is a lot! Hopefully, I can find the perfect one for me, now.
Oh, and by the way: I will tell you my thoughts about this very soon!
Stay tuned for more Illamasqua news and reviews!
What do you think of the upcoming Naked Strangers collection? Yay or nay?
