Meet the Movement of Artistry eyeshadow palette
The vibrant Movement Artistry Palette (£38, buy now) is a mix of 12 vegan and cruelty-free shades in both matte and shimmer finishes, which together represent Illamasqua’s Movement of Self-Expression. These are the four commandments that sit at the heart of the brand: revolutionary artistry, pioneering attitude, unrivalled colour and cruelty-free.
Illasmasqua is known for products with impressive pigment and colour payoff, and the palette's varied shades (see below) can be used to create a host of looks, whether you want to try something subtle and chic or eye-catching and glamorous.
The shades include Beauty, a versatile brick matte brown; Truth, a matte bisque; Compassion, a dark matte lavender; Artistic, an ivory matte; Expressive, a matte pine green; Hope, a coral pink shimmer; Inclusivity, a champagne shimmer; Equality, a mint green shimmer; Heritage, a pink copper shimmer; Movement, a peach satin; Understanding, a rust copper shimmer; and Non-conformist, a violet glitter.
“The palette ensures you can use the shades in a variety of combinations, ranging from bold and dramatic tones to soft, neutral hues,” explains Pablo Rodriguez, Illamasqua’s Director of Artistry. “Each section was artistry-inspired and carefully selected to create monochromatic and contrasting colour combinations, in line with the current beauty trends.”
Vegan friendly
What’s more, Illamasqua is 100% cruelty-free, and has been since its launch back in 2008, and some of its products – like the Movement Artistry Palette – are vegan friendly too. Accredited by PETA, Illamasqua is a go-to brand for many people who pledge to use cruelty-free.
