ILLA-MASS-KA 

  1. A combination of the words: illusion and masquerade.
  2. A brand with a mission to empower all with the confidence to express their true self through industry-defying makeup products. With a passion for artistry and inclusivity, Illamasqua has an anti-conformist attitude, rejecting the conventions of the beauty industry and emboldening the brave to proudly be themselves.

To remove the masquerade around our brand values and pillars, we wanted to share the official pronunciation and remind you of the four pillars that matter the most to us.
