"People commit to sleeves of tattoos and they'll say 'Oh no, I can't wear a red lip,' and I just don't get that. Enjoying makeup is having a joy and appreciation of your own appearance. It's not a sin to be high-maintenance, rather a pleasure. ... I don't consider myself commercially beautiful, but I experimented with a lot of different looks and found one that worked for me. It's important to find a beauty look you feel comfortable in."

-Alex Box, Creative Director of crazy Brit beauty brand Illamasqua.
