According to a spokesperson for Illamasqua, customers should read the blog and decide if the brand's values align with their own.

Kynaston has a message for any customers who don't agree with the post: "DON’T BUY US."

He admits the brand cannot feasibly prevent anyone buying its products, but added: "We also know that no matter how hard some people work to make themselves beautiful on the outside, make-up can never hide the ugliness inside."

"Prejudice, sexism and racism should never be tolerated," Kynaston said. "Whether you’re a brand or an individual join us and, together, we can be the change we want to see."

Illamasqua's brand director is Joe Corré -- son of designer Vivienne Westwood and Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren -- who recently made headlines for burning £5m of punk memorabilia on the river Thames.
