Spell Cosmetics Gets Criminal! FALL '09!


The launch of Spell Cosmetics Autumn 2009 Collection happens tonight 10/01/09, at 8:00 EST.
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!
Join us at 8:00 pm EST on BlogTV...we will be discussing this new line, introducing our Creative Design Team, and running special offers while we're on live! Go to: www.blogtv.com/People/spellcosmetics

NEW VELVET MATTE SHADOWS!!!





We've recently rearranged our categories for our shadows on the website, so that finding the finish you're looking for is easier!
In our Velvet Matte shadows, we've added 7 new colours to our line up!
Why Velvet Matte?
Using one matte colour helps "anchor" any look...these are the building blocks for creating depth and staying power. Playing with different textures when creating a look brings some of your favorite shades new dimension. Also, for those of you with "oily lids", Spell Cosmetics Velvet Matte shadows resist breaking down or settling after a few hours of wear. Expect long-stay durability!
We've added 3 colours that we've had as pre-release colours in our Goddess, Enchanted, & Moonspell Collections, PLUS 4 NEW SHADES that are perfect for fall, including: Aubergine, Cordovan, Hunt Club & Indigo!
Don't forget, we're still running our Pick 5 & Shadow Duo's on special!

Spell Look #7, Model: Joanni


This look was done on stage in under 10 minutes! We created a glam/egytian look on Joanni during the Cleveland Women's Show.
Eyes: We created a dark thick liner effect by using BLACK Matte Velvet Shadow & WET & SET MIXING MEDIUM. Then we enhanced that line with HOLOGLOW SHADOW in HALO, and again used it with WET & SET, creating some visual interest in the interior corner. The we used HOLOGLOW SHADOW in HALO with a fluff brush to illuminate the brow & arch areas.
Face: HARMONY FOUNDATION in SABLE was used to even out the complexion.
Lips: We've lightly applied GOLD DRENCHED gloss.
Get ready for our exciting fall launch!

Spell Look #6, Model: Aslynn



In this photoshoot, we used complimentary colours from the Loaded & Hologlow Collectins to antagonize the strawberry blonde hues of Aslynn's hair.

Eyes: the inner corner to the center of the eyes was done using COVET on the lid into the crease, & beneath the lower lash line. We highlighted these same sections with HOLOGLOW in ABSINTHE. From the middle of the eye, extended to the outer V, we used LUST on the lid to crease, highlighting with HOLOGLOW in EMBERS. MOCHA DARK & WET & SET mixing medium were used to create a tobacco coloured definition around the upper & lower lash lines.

Face: HARMONY FOUNDATION in PORCELIN, with ZINFANDEL SPELL COSMETICS BLUSH.

Lips: we used OBVIOUS LIP GLOSS in HOLLY.

Spell Look #5, Model: Ingrid




To create the look for this swimwear/beach shoot, on Model Ingrid, our palette included neutral selections that create a sultry definition to the face while balancing natural lighting.


Eyes: The top lash line was lined with BLACK & WET & SET MIXING MEDIUM. Then, LATTE was used from the lashes up into the brow bone with a large eye fluff brush, and under the lower lashes with a small dome brush. This created a "slip" for MOCHA DARK in the outer v & crease, making blending much easier. MOCHA DARK was worked into the lower lash line from the center point of the eye outward.


Face: HARMONY FOUNDATION in RICH was used to even the complexion, followed with SOFT FOCUS BLUSH in NEUTRAL for facial contouring & under the cheek bones. GODDESS GLOW was used for soft illumination down the bridge of the nose and along the tops of the cheek bones .


Lips: Ingrid's lip colour was custom created with a special lip palette I use on photoshoots. Now, for a limited time, we are giving the PERFECTLY NAKED LIP PALETTE as a FREE GIFT with any order over $30! This 5 well full sized palette is designed for customizing a perfect neutral lip! Each colour has a unique finish & colour payoff, created with natural, petro-free bases.

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.
