Alex Box Mythical Storytelling Makeup


Alex Box is a makeup artist well known for her role with brand Illamasqua.

As the Creative Director for cult make-up brand Illamasqua, Alex Box is instrumental in shaping the brand’s product development, imagery and creative vision from conception to execution. Her masterful work with shade, texture, and contrast brings to life the fantasy and creativity inherent in everyone, inspiring them to explore and express their alter ego.

Alex leads the field in experimental beauty with her beautiful, surreal, dynamic designs continuing to make an impact on the beauty, art and fashion industries. Her work is that out of a hyermodern world, expressing the tales of myths, legends and fantasy. 















Box has also worked as a catwalk makeup artist, recently creating the look for Gareth Pugh called 'The Walking Dead' and 'Overcome by Smoke'. This design is a brilliant look for me to reference as it links with scenes I have chosen from Myrtle and how the styling should be. It also helps me to look at creating a tragic makeup that could look theatrical but turning into something beautiful to represent fashion.

“Illamasqua is the palette of creativity that lets you be the artist; the key that unlocks doors previously closed and that hand that holds yours in the journey of personal empowerment. Marcel Proust said ‘The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes’.” 
 – Alex Box, Creative Director.

  1. The writer of this blog is really very professional. Every single line of this article is well written. New use of vocabulary is a great effort. At the same time tense, indirect speech was also sued in good manner.หน้า เรียว
