Inspiration: Alex Box

I first came across Alex Box when I discovered Illamasqua had come to Dublin. The images that were used to promote the make up inspired me in such a way that I had to find out who created them.

Alex Box studied and exhibited as an installation artist before training to become a make-up artist, with her main focus on relationships between the body and the environment. As a make-up artist, she went on to explore this relationship between art, science, nature and the magical. Today, Alex creates out of the box [!] looks for designers including Gareth Pugh, Alexander McQueen, Biba and Chanel.
