Hey Beauties!
Illamasqua Liquid Metals are unlike anything on the market, they were one of the first to bring out good metallic, pigmented creams in 2009 but since then everyone has brought out their own version. I really like the liquid metals because they give great texture and pigmentation.
Colour and Pigmentation
These liquid metals really are quite pigmented and each has such a gorgeous colour. Enrapture is a rusty bronze colour, Illamasqua describes it as a "Molten Bronze" then we have Surge which is a deeper silver with glittery particles in it, Illamasqua describes it as a "Molten Pewter", The 3rd colour is called Phenomena which i would say is a true silver and this colour in particular is really pigmented, Illamasqua describes it as a "Molten Silver" and lastly we have Electrum which is an antique gold colour this is more of a yellow based gold than anything.
In the picture above i used Enrapture with a bit of Makeup Atelier glitter on to to give you an idea of the different textures you can make with this product
Wear Time
This is maybe the only thing that will put them off this product, this product isnt going to last there are no 2 ways around that its so creamy and emollient it won't last, they dont set either. David Horne who is Director of Product Development at Illamasqua said that these are an artistic product they not meant to be used as bases or for everyday use. I think personally these are amazing but for the reasons that they are great on photoshoots as the makeup doesn't need to last it just needs to be touched up when it needs it so from a makeup artist perspective these are great products but maybe not for everyday use on yourself
Packaging
I love Illamasqua's packaging it all retains that great shape with the logo on the top and a handy mirror inside, i think thats one of the things i love about Illamasqua the continuity the shape of the packaging is like their shape and its across the entire range be it the liquid metals to the foundations and nail polishes etc.
Price and Where to Buy
You can purchase the Liquid Metal Palette from Illamasqua.com as well as from any counter or stand alone store, You can also buy each of the Liquid Metals seperately rather than buying the whole palette if you find you like one more than the others.
The Palette is £34 and if you wanted to buy them separately they are £17.50 each
The Good and The Bad
The Good?- They are extremely pigmented as all Illamasqua products are and they are quite unique.
The Bad?- I wish they had versions of these products that set rather than stayed as a cream.

The colours look amazing, seeing as I have oily lids and the fact that you mentioned it won't last means I won't be trying this one out!

ReplyDeleteI am on the hunt for the Katie powder blush but all the Sephoras I go to don't carry Ill. plus online they are sold out!! this palette looks gorg. XD
ReplyDeleteKatie is such a pretty colour! and i think katie is really popular so thats why its so hard to get a hold of
ReplyDeleteI use Phenomena all the time as an inner eye highlight and it lasts all day! I also use it sometimes as a base, and when applied lightly it doesnt crease and sets shadow really well! I love my liquid metal!
ReplyDeleteIts a gorgeous colour i think Phenomena has to be one of my favourite liquid metals just because its such a true silver
ReplyDeletei loved using it as a lip colour silver lips looked amazing!
