Illamasqua Generation Q Fall 2012 Collection – Mairi Photo Session

Hello beauties!

Last week I introduced you to the new Illamasqua Generation Q Fall 2012 Collection (info, promo photos & prices) and I also told you I will write a special post about this collection every week because I want to present all the persons who took part as models at the photo shooting for this collection.

Last week you saw the photos of Evelyn a 72 years young model who positively radiates beauty and this week it’s time to meet the new model.

Mairi is 39 years old and from Edinburgh, Scotland where she works as a freelance make-up artist after spending a long time working and snowboarding in the French Alps.

Illamasqua Generation Q Fall 2012 Collection will be launched in September 2012 online and also at Illamasqua counters but until then I will keep posting special articles like this one.

If you want to know more about Mairi, this week’s model, chosen to photoshot for Illamasqua Generation Q Collection, keep reading after the jump.

“I’ve been fascinated with make-up at a very early age, I started copying looks on myself, icons like Brigitte Bardot, Edie Sedgewick, Marilyn Monroe and Debbie Harry (one of my favourites!) and I loved experimenting with colours and always wearing my “cats eyes”. I love finding new products and experimenting with them.”

[Having discovered she was chosen for AW12 Generation Q collection] “I was in total shock, I thought it was a joke! I was absolutely delighted to find out I’d won the Illamasqua make-up too!”

“Having my make-up done by Alex Box was a real privilege, she really is one of my real life heroes, I love her work, so I was well chuffed to have had it done, and I felt sexy and confident after getting my hair and make-up done by such a lovely team.”

[On Illamasqua using real people in the campaign] “I think it’s a great idea to use real people for your campaigns, it’s raw and exciting, because age doesn’t matter – it’s how you feel on the inside that does, if you are confident about you look, it shows.”
