Hologlow ~ Special Effect Pigments by Spell Cosmetics

Hologlow by Spell Cosmetics was launched in early spring of 2009, as a result of using the prototypes on the models for an event at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. We wanted to be able to create special effects that looked foiled and luminous. Unlike our Loaded Collection, which offers high colour payoff & density, we wanted to create an ethereal "butterfly wing" effect on the models to evoke a transistional colouration that shifts in intesity depending on lighting and the direction you view it. Many companies have duochromes available, but Spell Cosmetics is the first company to specially treat their formulation so that these tiny particles stick down instead of just float away. These can be used wet also for high impact luminosity. Available in Moonlit, Blacklight, Embers, Halo, & Absinthe.
For a limited time, Spell Cosmetics is offering this collection at a special savings, along with 2 complimentary shadows for adding versatility to these colours: Use Black underneath to intesify the effect, or Moonspell underneath for a shimmering suggestion of colour.

Spell Cosmetics Friday Night Favorites!

We all need a fabulous Friday night look, so we've listed one of our favorite combo for creating a smoking, sultry glow!

Elle's favorite way to lay this out is to begin with Nightshade, creating the outline of the shape of the eye with a small dome brush....think of this like creating outines you see in a colouring book. Use Nightshade in the crease, smoking your way into the outer v, and underneath and into the lower lash line.

With a small Fluff brush, apply Antiquity on the lid. Use a wet liner brush with Antiquity to illuminate the inner corners, both upper and lower.

With a Large Fluff brush, stroke Holowglow Halo from the crease into the brow bone. For extra highlight effect consider a stroke on the outer upper brow area. Use a small dome brush to work some Halo underneath the Nightshade, for added dimension and light reflection.

Dust Goddess Glow along Cheekbones and finish with Gold Drenched Gloss.

Get off to a Great Start!

Everyone loves Spell Cosmetics colour selections, but how can everyone achieve amazing results? We know that not everyone out there has perfect skin, including models, so we take a few extra steps to give the illusion of a flawless face. Here's 3 quick and easy steps to preparing your face for all day gorgeousness!

Spell Look #9, Model: Annie

For this shoot with photographer Michelle Leigh, we wanted to create a dewy "Goddess" style for our model Annie, picking up the tones from the landscape around us.

Face: We "cocktailed" the face by mixing Under My Spell Face Primer with our Harmony Foundation in Medium, to create a velvety, blendable foundation. Next, we again mixed Under My Spell Face Primer with Soft Focus Blush in Warm. We used Candlelit Glow to high light the tops of the cheekbones.

Eyes: We wanted to play with greens, so our palette included: Citron (inner corners, upper and lower...), Hunt Club Velvet Matte Shadow in the crease through the outer V, highlighting with Halo Hologlow Shadow into the brow bone.

Lips: St. Tropez Bronze Baciare Lip Creme

Spell Look #8, Model: Trinity Skye

This look was created to fit with the industrial/architectural needs of the shoot. Working in black & white photography is a fantastic excercise for playing with texture so that you can see how different reflective qualities adjusts the way a camera renders a final image.

Eyes: We've heavily framed Trinity Skye's eyes in VELVET MATTE SHADOW in BLACK (although I did load my brush with a little bit of MAGNETEYEZ PRIMER to make it easier to manipulate the product. VEXED from THE RELOADED COLLECTION was used in the area around the Black to soften the transistion into the the remainder of the face. HOLOGLOW SHADOW in BLACKLIGHT was used to highlight up into the brow bone.

Face: HARMONY FOUNDATION in DELICATE was used all over. Then we created a soft cheek contour with ZINFANDEL blush under the cheekbones, and SOFT FOCUS BLUSH in ORCHID above & along the bone.

Lips: OBVIOUS LIP GLOSS in TAROT LADY.
