Meet our new Midwest Director of Marketing & Events, Ms. Viva Valezz!

We are so excited to announce that the 2010 "Columbus' Favorite Burleque Performer", Viva Valezz has come on board with Spell Cosmetics to become our Midwest Director of Marketing & Events!

So by way of introduction, here is a letter from Viva about her philosophy of beauty:

"Burlesque performance is all about appreciating your own femininity, your own unique beauty, learning to love your body no matter what size, representing beauty & grace in every color & lifestyle, and being able to perform because you love sharing your artistic expressions with an audience.

I have been performing & teaching dance in the Midwest for a decade, & have performed from coast to coast as well as overseas in Morocco, Northern Africa, from the larger cities to the Sahara Desert. Along the way, I've met thousands of beautiful women.

I began my dance career 10 years ago as a professional belly dancer & instructor which segued into burlesque, which has deep similarities to the Hollywood styles of the 1930's - 50's & Pin-Up culture. My modeling experiences have helped me appreciate the world of make-up more than I ever did over the years.

I have 25 years experience as a business leader & manager within the fashion industry, and have a Master's Degree in Communications.

EVERY woman is beautiful. Every woman, every person has the capacity to show the world their true beauty. If I can ever contribute to making even 1 person recognize their true beauty, I've been blessed" ... Viva Valezz

We will be working on making Spell Cosmetics available through "Brick & Morter" stores, as well as continuing to add new events to our calender. Follow Viva on Twitter at: www.twitter.com/vivavalezz or add her to your friends on Facebook!

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.

Colour this amazing is purely criminal...The Jewel Thief Collection, by Spell Cosmetics takes colour where it has never gone before! Revolutionary "de-dusted" pigments reduce falloff during the application process. Our propriety formulation has moisture retention qualities which helps create a smooth finish. The best part? They can be used wet or dry and it doesn't interfere with the consistancy of the pigments! Use wet to create a metallic finish, use dry for lustrous, indulgent colour!

Spell Look #4, Model: Trinity Skye

In this runway look, we've incorporated the colours of Model Trinity Skye's Johnathan Kayne gown. Our Laura Christopher Heat Wave Day was the perfect choice for echoing the teal dupioni fabric, while incorporating the glowing effect of the crystal embellishments.

Eyes: Working the inner corners of the eye with RISING SUN, outward to the middle of the eye, we've switched into SALT WATER, framing the eyes from the top and bottom. We've used WHITE HOT to illuminate the interior section of the brow bone, but gave this an extra jolt of vibrancy by using HOLOGLOW shadow in HALO.

Face: We've evened out Trinity's skin tone with HARMONY FOUNDATION in MEDIUM, and used a subdued blush in TOASTED COCONUT to balance the finished look

Lips: From the HEAT WAVE DAY collection, we have used CORAL SUN.
Right now, the HEAT WAVE DAY COLLECTION is ON SALE thru SUNDAY for only $19.99! This set includes Salt Water, White Hot, and Rising Sun PLUS Coral Sun gloss. Don't forget to add Halo to your cart! http://www.spellcosmetics.com/

Spell Look #3, Model: Rotana

To create this look, we've used a monochromatic palette of Spell Cosmetics purples.

Eyes: The brows were strengthened with MOCHA DARK, and Wet & Set Mixing Medium so they could be "painted" with an angle brush. To create a metallic finish, WISTERIA was used generously from the inner upper lash line, sweeping the lid up into the arch of the brow area & outer V. Continue with Wisteria beneath the lower lashes connecting to the upper section. PASSION was used over this, to create depth in the crease. Highlighting effects in the inner corners was done with HOLOGLOW SHADOW in BLACKLIGHT. The inner section of the bridge of the nose was accentuated with PASSION.

Face: Rotana's richer complexion was neutralized and made paler with the use of HARMONY FOUNDATION in PORCELIN.

SOFT FOCUS BLUSH in COOL was used beneath the cheekbones, highlighted with SOFT FOCUS BLUSH in ORCHID.

Lips: We've "cocktailed" our products to create this lip by using: NIKKICHICK GLOSS, dusted with HOLOGLOW SHADOW in BLACKLIGHT.

Eyes: The lid was created with Vexed from the ReLoaded Collection, softly blended into the crease. From the inner upper corner into the brow bone, Hologlow Embers is our highlight colour. Under the lower lash line, Latte was used to create a soft open eyed look.

Face: Harmony Foundation in Sable was used to even skintone, followed by Soft Focus Neutral Blush under the cheekbone, highlighted with Goddess Glow.

Get Radiant!

It's no secret that every woman needs a classic "go-to" palette. One that is elegant, and refines what we possess naturally. One that is the perfect day into night option. One that causes others to say, "what looks different about you today"?

The Radiance Collection was created with all of these factors in mind. Designed with Laura Christoper, model/artist, we worked together to develop a classic palette (as shown on model Brianna Rene') that is balanced with neutral soft tones which harmonize with all skin tones.

When our latest In Style magazine arrived, we were immediately in love with the cover shot of a glowing Jennifer Lopez. Striking because of its approachable nature, this is a classic look that every woman can wear.

The Radiance Collection is also specifically formulated with ingredients that have an optical blurring effect on fine lines combined with a light refraction index that makes it perfect for photography & hi-def.

This collection contains: French Vanilla, Pink Coffee, & Brown Sugar shadows, Toasted Coconut blush, & Pink Sand Baciare Lip Creme. For a limited time, You choose a FREE Baciare Lip Creme in Caliente' or Gemma's Kiss, with any purchase of this collection! Caliente' is warm firey coral red, Gemma's Kiss is a cool mysterious red. (like its namesake!) A complete day into night collection!
