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.

What to Expect, How to Apply, and How to Get the Best From Every Shade Spectral Flux Cream Pigments were created for high impact colour, dimensional shine, and long wear. They are not pressed shadows, and they do not behave like traditional cream shadows either. They sit somewhere between the two,  a water based gel/cream pigment that glides on, then dries down to a flexible film for bold colour with less fallout and strong staying power. Because of that, application matters. This guide covers what the formula is, how to use it, why some shades may feel slightly different from others, and how to get the smoothest, most striking result from every pigment in the collection. What is Spectral Flux? Spectral Flux is a fast setting cream pigment formula designed to deliver intense colour and shifting light in a smooth, long wearing finish. Once applied, the formula begins to dry down and set in place, helping it resist creasing, smudging, and movement. The finish can range from a soft diffused veil to a bold foiled effect depending on how you apply it. Why do some shades feel slightly different? Although every shade in the Spectral Flux collection shares the same base formula, the pigments used to create each colour are different. That means you may notice slight variation from shade to shade. Some pigments may feel: slightly thinner slightly thicker a little more sheer on first swipe a little denser or more opaque straight away This is normal, expected, and part of working with complex colour pigments and shifting finishes. It does not mean a shade is faulty or less pigmented. Some shades are naturally smoother, some build more gradually, and some deliver their full effect best when layered. Every shade in the collection is designed for impact, but the route each one takes can differ slightly depending on the pigments inside it. What kind of finish should I expect? Spectral Flux shades can be worn in different ways depending on application: For a soft wash of colour:Apply a small amount and diffuse quickly with a fingertip or brush before the formula sets. For maximum intensity:Apply in a thin, even layer and gently build once dry rather than overworking the same area repeatedly. For a foiled effect:Use a fingertip or dense synthetic brush and pat the product into place. The best way to apply Spectral Flux The most important thing to know is this: apply, place, and pat do not keep pulling the product around once it starts to set. Because Spectral Flux is a fast setting formula, it performs best when you work in light layers and avoid overblending. Best application method Apply a small amount using: a clean fingertip for strongest payoff a dense synthetic brush for more precision a smaller detail brush for liner or accent placement Then: spread only as much as you need blend edges quickly let it set add another thin layer if you want more impact One eye at a time is best This formula dries down, so working one eye at a time will usually give you the smoothest result. If you apply to both eyes first and then go back to blend, the first side may already have started setting. How to layer over eyeshadow Spectral Flux can be worn alone or layered over powder shadows, but technique matters. If applying over eyeshadow: use a patting motion rather than dragging avoid rubbing or pulling across the lid place the product gently where you want it tap to build intensity Pulling the product across the lid can disturb the shadow underneath and create patchiness. Patting gives a smoother result and keeps your base in place. This is especially effective when layered over: black for deeper, more dramatic shift plum or berry tones for richer warmth navy or charcoal for cooler, smokier dimension Can I blend it out? Yes, but quickly. Spectral Flux has blend time at the start, but it is not designed to stay wet for long. Once the formula begins to set, over blending can cause unevenness. For best results: blend edges immediately after application do not keep going back over the same area build in thin layers instead of moving one layer around for too long How much should I use? Less than you think. Using too much at once can make application harder, especially with stronger metallic or shifting shades. A thin layer usually gives a smoother finish, and you can always build once dry. Remember the thicker the amount in the layer the longer it takes to dry add you risk patchiness where it has dried unevenly. Why has my pigment thickened slightly? Because Spectral Flux is a water based fast setting formula, exposure to air will gradually affect the texture. If the lid is left loose or the jar is left open while applying makeup, the product can begin to thicken or dry out. That is why it is important to: keep lids tightly closed between uses avoid leaving jars open on your desk while doing the rest of your makeup store away from direct heat and sunlight A slight change in texture over time is normal if a product has had more air exposure, but keeping it closed properly will help preserve the consistency much longer. Storage tips To keep your Spectral Flux pigments performing at their best: always close the lid tightly after use do not leave jars open during application store in a cool, dry place keep away from direct heat and sunlight If a pigment becomes thicker over time, this is usually due to air exposure rather than a fault. Best expectations for this formula Spectral Flux is designed to give: bold colour payoff dimensional reflect long wear minimal fallout flexible application from soft wash to high impact It is not designed to behave like: a mousse shadow a wet cream that stays movable for ages a powder shimmer a traditional loose pigment Once you understand that, the formula becomes much easier to use and much easier to love. A final note on shade differences Because the collection includes different pigment blends, each shade has its own character. Some are smoother and more molten. Some are more translucent and spectral. Some are bolder in one layer, while others show their best shift when built or layered over a darker base. That variation is part of what makes the collection special. Each shade is intended to deliver strong colour and dimension, but not every pigment expresses itself in exactly the same way, and that is completely normal for this type of formula. In short For the best Spectral Flux experience: apply in thin layers work one eye at a time blend quickly pat rather than pull, especially over powder shadows keep lids closed tightly after use expect slight consistency differences between shades due to the pigments used Once you get the feel of them, Spectral Flux Cream Pigments can be used for everything from soft, shifting accents to bold makeup styles with intense reflective payoff.
