Spectral Flux - Your complete guide
Spectral Flux: Meet the Molten Cream Pigments That Move Like Living Light
Vegan • Cruelty-Free • High-Impact • Multidimensional • Fast-Setting
Some colours sit still but these ones refuse to.
Spectral Flux is a collection of high-impact gel-cream pigments that shift, shimmer and transform as the light moves across the skin. Inspired by cosmic phenomena, poisonous transformations and alchemical reactions, each shade captures something that feels almost impossible to contain: venomous light, molten blood, dying stars and fire that changes colour as it burns.
The lightweight, water-based formula glides across the skin with the fluidity of a cream before setting to a flexible, long-wear finish. Blend it into a translucent veil, build it into molten metallic colour or layer it over deeper bases to reveal hidden shifts and unexpected dimensions.
Created for gothic glamour, stage makeup, editorial artistry and anyone who believes colour should feel a little dangerous.
What Is a Gel-Cream Pigment?
Spectral Flux sits somewhere between a cream eyeshadow, a liquid metallic and a multidimensional pigment.
Unlike a loose pigment, there is no separate mixing stage and no cloud of powder waiting to decorate your dressing table. The pigment is already suspended within a smooth gel-cream base, allowing it to glide directly onto the skin.
The formula begins creamy and blendable, then sets into a flexible film. This gives you a short working window in which to soften the edges, shape the colour or add another shade before allowing it to set.
Depending on how you apply it, Spectral Flux can create:
-
A soft, translucent wash of shifting light
-
A concentrated metallic accent
-
A dimensional inner-corner highlight
-
Graphic liner and ornamental details
-
A full, foiled lid
-
A transformative topper over matte or shimmer eyeshadow
-
Multicoloured stage and editorial effects
The result changes with the shade, the base beneath it and the direction of the light.
Enter the Spectral Flux
Serpentine
Cold light. Venomous glow.
Serpentine coils across the skin in vivid venom-green metallic, illuminated by flashes of teal, turquoise, electric blue and acid-yellow light.
It is bright, slick and almost reptilian—a colour that appears alive as it moves.
Wear Serpentine alone for a striking blue-green metallic or layer it over black to deepen the shadows and intensify its cooler flashes. A deep teal base will enhance its aquatic qualities, while black transforms it into something darker and more poisonous.
Choose Serpentine if you are drawn to:
-
Venomous greens
-
Electric blue and turquoise shifts
-
Reptilian and creature-inspired looks
-
Acidic colour combinations
-
Bold gothic greens that refuse to look earthy
Ichor
Molten crimson. Blood-lit metal.
Named for the fluid said to run through the veins of the gods, Ichor drapes the skin in deep blood-red metallic colour with a molten, foil-like finish.
Its lacquered crimson catches the light like glowing embers beneath wet metal. Worn alone, it creates rich statement colour; layered over black or deep plum, it becomes darker, deeper and unmistakably vampiric.
Choose Ichor if you are drawn to:
-
Blood-red makeup
-
Molten crimson metallics
-
Vampiric glamour
-
Dramatic red smoky eyes
-
Gothic stage and editorial looks
Oracle Light
Moonlight made tangible.
Oracle Light begins with a smoky blue-violet base and reveals shifting flashes of teal, aqua and soft lilac.
More ethereal than the collection’s dense metallic shades, it catches the light like spectral glass. Apply a thin layer for a translucent veil of prismatic colour or build it where you want a stronger flash.
Oracle Light is particularly beautiful as an inner-corner highlight, halo accent or transformative topper. Layer it over navy, plum, charcoal or black to expose different parts of its shift.
Choose Oracle Light if you are drawn to:
-
Smoky blue-violet tones
-
Teal and lilac iridescence
-
Ethereal, ghostly colour
-
Inner-corner and halo highlights
-
Transformative eyeshadow toppers
Cosmic Bane
Darkness, pierced with embers.
Cosmic Bane is a blackened cream pigment scattered with flashes of violet, crimson and burning-pink sparkle.
Dense and smoky, it resembles dying stars collapsing into a darkened void. The colour appears almost black in shadow before movement reveals the hidden fire suspended inside it.
Apply a soft layer for shadowed shimmer or build it into a deep, foiled finish. A matte-black base intensifies the contrast, while plum helps draw out its violet and crimson embers.
Choose Cosmic Bane if you are drawn to:
-
Blackened metallics
-
Crimson and burning-pink sparkle
-
Warm fire against a dark base
-
Dramatic smoky eyes
-
Colour that reveals itself gradually
Shadow Singularity
Light swallowed. Stars revealed.
Shadow Singularity is a deep navy-black pigment ignited with electric-blue, violet and green sparkle.
Where Cosmic Bane conceals warm embers, Shadow Singularity holds cold starlight. Its inky base draws the light inward before releasing blue-green flashes with every movement.
Wear it as a wash of cosmic shadow or build it into a foiled galaxy effect. Layer it over matte black for greater depth or charcoal to keep its cool, star-strewn dimension visible.
Choose Shadow Singularity if you are drawn to:
-
Navy-black pigments
-
Electric-blue and green sparkle
-
Cold cosmic colour
-
Galaxy-inspired smoky eyes
-
Dark shades with multidimensional movement
Etheric Flame
Molten colour. Living fire. Light that refuses to stay still.
Etheric Flame burns from a pink-violet base, ignited by flashes of acid green, molten gold and ember red.
Its multichrome finish flickers like liquid metal across the skin, changing character as the viewing angle shifts. At one moment it appears pink and violet; at another, green-gold fire breaks through.
Wear it alone for chaotic molten colour or layer it over black or deep plum to amplify the green-gold shift and create more dramatic contrast.
Choose Etheric Flame if you are drawn to:
-
Strong multichrome movement
-
Pink and violet bases
-
Acid-green and molten-gold shifts
-
Contrasting, transformative colour
-
Makeup that changes from every angle
Starlit Séance
Candlelight dancing across crystal.
Starlit Séance moves between a luminous turquoise-blue base and spectral flashes of pink and lilac.
Cool, bright and otherworldly, it captures the strange light of a midnight ritual—the glow of a flame reflected through crystal, revealing colours that were hidden a moment before.
Wear it alone for luminous blue colour or layer it over deeper shades to draw out its softer pink and lilac shift.
Choose Starlit Séance if you are drawn to:
-
Turquoise-blue pigments
-
Pink and lilac shifts
-
Luminous celestial colour
-
Cool-toned multidimensional looks
-
Soft spectral light with visible impact
Which Spectral Flux Shade Should You Choose?
If you want venomous blue-green colour, choose Serpentine.
If you want molten blood red, choose Ichor.
If you want soft, ghostly iridescence, choose Oracle Light.
If you want warm embers inside blackened shadow, choose Cosmic Bane.
If you want cold stars suspended in navy-black, choose Shadow Singularity.
If you want dramatic pink, green and gold multichrome fire, choose Etheric Flame.
If you want turquoise light with pink and lilac movement, choose Starlit Séance.
There is no rule requiring you to choose only one. Pair Oracle Light with Shadow Singularity for a cold cosmic halo, place Serpentine beside Etheric Flame for clashing alchemical colour or press Ichor over Cosmic Bane to turn its hidden embers into molten blood.
How to Apply Spectral Flux
Because Spectral Flux begins creamy and then sets, the applicator and technique you choose will affect the finish.
For Maximum Metallic Impact
Use a clean fingertip or a dense, flat synthetic brush.
Pick up a small amount and press it onto the skin rather than sweeping it repeatedly. Pressing keeps the reflective particles concentrated, creating a smoother, more foiled finish.
For a Soft Wash of Spectral Colour
Use a small synthetic blending brush and apply a minimal amount.
Blend the edges immediately while the formula is still workable. A thin layer allows more of the skin or shadow beneath it to show through, giving the colour a softer, translucent quality.
For Graphic Liner and Details
Use a fine synthetic liner or nail-art brush.
Spectral Flux can create graphic shapes, ornamental accents and flashes of metallic liner. Work in small sections and clean the brush promptly after use so that the fast-setting formula does not dry between the bristles.
For the finest conventional eyeliner work, use a product specifically designed for that precision; Spectral Flux is best suited to creative accents and bold detailing.
For a Full Foiled Lid
Apply a thin, even first layer and allow it to set before deciding whether you need more.
Building in controlled layers usually produces a smoother result than applying one very thick coat. Keep the mobile lid relaxed while each layer sets to reduce disruption to the finish.
Work Quickly, Then Let It Set
Spectral Flux has a limited working window.
Once applied:
-
Place the pigment where you want the strongest reflect.
-
Stop manipulating it once it begins to set.
-
Allow the layer to dry before adding more.
Continuing to blend after the formula has started forming its film may disturb the finish. If you want greater intensity, allow the first thin layer to set and then press another layer over it.
How Different Bases Transform the Shift
Multidimensional pigments do not exist in isolation. The colour underneath can completely change which part of the shift becomes most visible.
Over Bare or Primed Skin
You will see a softer, more translucent version of the shade. This works particularly well with Oracle Light and Starlit Séance when you want an ethereal wash.
Over Black
Black absorbs some of the base colour and creates stronger contrast around the reflective particles.
It can:
-
Deepen Ichor into vampiric crimson
-
Amplify the blue-green shift in Serpentine
-
Reveal the hidden embers in Cosmic Bane
-
Strengthen the star-like sparkle of Shadow Singularity
-
Intensify the green-gold movement in Etheric Flame
Over Plum
Plum emphasises red, violet and pink tones. Try it beneath Ichor, Cosmic Bane, Oracle Light or Etheric Flame.
Over Navy or Teal
Navy enhances cold blue-violet shades, while teal supports aquatic blue-green shifts. These bases pair particularly well with Serpentine, Oracle Light, Shadow Singularity and Starlit Séance.
Over Coordinating Metallics
A metallic powder shadow beneath Spectral Flux can add further depth, but allow each layer to settle before applying the next. Experiment on the back of your hand first to see how the products interact.
Do You Need Eyeshadow Primer?
No but technically this depends on your skin, placement and the look you want to create.
An eyeshadow primer can provide a more consistent base, particularly if your eyelids become oily or you are creating a detailed look intended for extended wear.
Allow primer and other cream products to settle before applying Spectral Flux. A very wet or oily base may interfere with the way the gel-cream formula sets.
If you are layering Spectral Flux over powder eyeshadow, apply the powder first and press the cream pigment over it carefully. Avoid excessive rubbing, which can lift or disturb the makeup underneath.
Why Do the Textures Vary Between Shades?
Although every Spectral Flux shade belongs to the same gel-cream family, their textures are not identical.
Some shades have a looser, more fluid consistency—Ichor is the most noticeable example—while others, including Serpentine, can feel drier or denser to the touch.
This variation is normal and does not mean that one shade has dried out or that another has separated. Each colour contains a different combination and concentration of pigments and reflective particles. Their particle sizes, finishes and pigment loads interact differently with the gel-cream base, giving every shade its own individual consistency.
A shade with a lighter or more fluid texture may need less product than expected, while a denser shade can work best when warmed and pressed onto the skin with a fingertip.
If the product has been stored for a while, gently stir it with a clean, dry cosmetic spatula before use.
With Spectral Flux, Less Is More
Spectral Flux performs best in thin, controlled layers.
Because the formula sets by forming a flexible film, applying too much product at once can considerably extend its drying time. A very thick layer may remain tacky, settle into creases or begin to flake slightly as it moves throughout the day.
For the smoothest and most comfortable result:
-
Begin with a very small amount.
-
Press it onto the skin in a thin, even layer.
-
Blend the edges before the formula begins to set.
-
Allow the first layer to dry fully.
-
Add another thin layer only where greater intensity is needed.
Avoid repeatedly working over an area once it has started to dry, as this can disturb the film and create an uneven finish.
You do not need a thick coat to reveal the shift. A small amount, carefully placed, allows the reflective pigment to catch the light while helping the formula set properly.
Thin layers. Full transformation.
How to Store Spectral Flux
The same qualities that allow Spectral Flux to set on the skin mean that it can also dry inside the jar if exposed to air.
To protect the texture:
-
Close the lid tightly immediately after each use.
-
Do not leave the open jar beside you while completing the rest of your makeup.
-
Take out only the amount you need and recap it.
-
Keep the rim clean so dried product does not interfere with the seal.
-
Store it away from heat and direct sunlight.
-
Avoid leaving it in a hot car, beside a radiator or on a sunny windowsill.
-
Use clean, dry tools to prevent contamination.
A little air for a little too long can turn molten magick into an artefact. Seal the ritual when you are finished.
What Should I Do If the Pigment Begins to Thicken?
First, make sure the lid is fully closed and gently stir the product with a clean, dry cosmetic spatula. Product can sometimes settle during storage, and careful mixing may help restore a more even texture.
Do not add ordinary water, facial oil, setting spray, saliva or makeup remover. These can contaminate the product, interfere with its performance and alter the assessed formula.
If the pigment has dried significantly, developed an unusual smell or changed unexpectedly in appearance or texture, stop using it and replace it.
The Formula Behind the Flux
Spectral Flux uses a lightweight, water-based gel-cream system that allows the pigment to spread smoothly before setting.
Synthetic fluorphlogopite provides a smooth, synthetic mineral base for multidimensional effects, while silica contributes to the texture and feel. Film-forming ingredients help the applied pigment set into a flexible layer, and the combination of mineral and permitted colour pigments creates the shades and shifting effects across the collection.
Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Silica, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Acrylates Copolymer, 1,2-Hexanediol, Alcohol, Butylene Glycol, Polyacrylamide, C13-14 Isoparaffin, Laureth-7, Phenoxyethanol, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Triethanolamine, Disodium EDTA, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77499), Blue 1 Lake (CI 42090), Red 7 Lake (CI 15850), Yellow 5 Lake (CI 19140).
As always, Spectral Flux is vegan and cruelty-free.
Colour That Refuses to Remain Still
Spectral Flux was created for transformation.
It is the flash that appears only when you turn your head. The colour hidden inside shadow. The moment a seemingly dark surface ignites beneath the light.
Diffuse it into a ghostly veil. Press it into molten metal. Layer it over darkness and reveal what was waiting underneath.
There is no single way to wear living light.
Choose your phenomenon. Break the spectrum. Enter the Flux.
