How to Apply Pre-Glued Lashes | A Guide to Effortless Gothic Glamour

on Sep 01 2025
Pre-Glued Lashes: A Ritual of Ease and Enchantment Not every spell requires hours of preparation. Some magick slips easily into your hands, ready to weave beauty without toil. Our pre-glued lashes are exactly that—a ritual of instant glamour, where dark enchantment meets effortless application. Whether you seek a soft whisper of volume or a full bewitching gaze, these clusters cling like shadows, waiting only for your touch to awaken them. Here’s how to summon them with precision and care. Preparation: The Sacred Ground Before you begin, ensure your natural lashes are clean, dry, and stripped of oils, makeup, or residue.Curl them gently—like bending willow branches—so they blend seamlessly with the lashes you are about to call forth.Choose your lengths as you would choose your tools: shorter clusters for the inner corners, longer for the outer edges, creating a wing that lifts like a crescent moon. Application: The Summoning Remove with Care: Using an applicator or tweezers, lift a cluster from its tray. Do not touch the adhesive base—it is already charged with binding magick. Position with Intention: Look down into a mirror and, with your free hand, lift your eyelid slightly. Place the cluster beneath your natural lashes, close to—but never upon—the waterline. Seal the Pact: Use your applicator to clamp your natural lashes and the cluster together, fusing them as one. Repeat the Ritual: Work outwards, placing each cluster in turn, until your gaze is cloaked in the fullness you desire. No gaps, only seamless shadow. Aftercare: Keeping the Glamour Reinforce: Each morning, gently clamp your lashes again to strengthen their hold. Protect: Avoid water for the first 24–48 hours, and shield them from long immersions thereafter. Rest Wisely: Sleep on your back where possible; pressing your lashes into the pillow may weaken their bond. Removal: Releasing the Spell When the time comes, do not tug or tear. Simply press at the base of a cluster with your fingertip and peel it away softly. Like a spell undone, it will release without harm. Pro Tips from the Coven Always gaze down into a mirror—it grants the clearest view of your lash line. Use one hand to lift your lid slightly, making the placement precise. Avoid applying over makeup, oils, or SPF—such interference dulls the adhesive’s magick. With pre-glued lashes, you hold both speed and sorcery in your hands. No waiting, no potions—only instant transformation. A glance reborn, a gaze enchanted. 🕯️👁️

💀 Doom Paints: A Guide to Ritual Performance & Unholy Glamour

on Jun 02 2025
Summon your stage persona. Summon your shadow self.Doom Paints were forged for ritual performance, live gigs, drag, body art, and unholy glamour . A line created for those who blur the line between beauty and invocation. These oil-based face paints are intensely pigmented, fiercely opaque, and built to endure under blazing stage lights, long nights, and the chaos of transformation. Born from the same ethos as VE itself - vegan, cruelty-free, and unapologetically bold . Doom Paints are here to serve your most dramatic rituals.   🔥 The Ritual of Application Oil-based paints are a different kind of alchemy, they demand focus, intention, and respect for their texture. To summon their full power, follow the ritual below: Start with a clean, dry canvas.Doom Paints bond best to bare skin.Do not layer over silicone or water-based primers or foundations as these will break the spell. Even if you “fix” the top layer, it won’t truly adhere. No water needed as this isn’t mortal paint.Unlike lesser formulas, Doom Paints don’t need to be awakened with water.Simply dip your brush or sponge directly into the pigment, and let it glide onto the skin. Build your creation.Apply thin layers for detail, or bold swathes for stage impact.Blend or smudge with fingers, brushes, or sponges, Doom Paints remain alive and malleable as you work.   🌑 Sealing the Spell Oil-based paints never fully “set”  they stay a little alive on your skin, flexible and ready to move with you. To keep your masterpiece in place: Seal with translucent powder or fixing spray to reduce transfer and lock in the magick. If you’re performing or dancing under heat, layering translucent powder between shades can increase longevity.   🌙 Cleansing After Chaos When your ritual is complete, remove your Doom Paints with an oil-based cleanser, coconut, olive, or jojoba oils work beautifully. Massage gently to break down the pigment before wiping away.Follow with a gentle face wash to clear any residue and prevent post-ritual blemishes. ✨ Treat your skin kindly after your transformation  even the fiercest demons need moisturiser.   ⚡ Who They’re For Doom Paints are made for artists, drag performers, goths, cosplayers, ritualists, musicians, and anyone brave enough to wear their shadow on the outside.Their rich opacity makes them ideal for: Creative makeup sorcery Stage or performance work Face and body art Editorial or photographic projects Chaos-fuelled transformation These paints are not for the faint of heart, they are for those who summon rather than apply.   🕯️ In Closing Your face is your altar.Your body is your stage.Let Doom Paints be your war paint, your glamour spell, your invocation of self. Because sometimes, beauty isn’t about blending in ...It’s about becoming the myth.
🕯️ The Ritual of Foundation,Building Your Own Way

🕯️ The Ritual of Foundation,Building Your Own Way

on Jun 01 2025
  There’s a quiet sort of magick in foundation. It’s the base of every spell, the canvas before the art. But when it comes to how to apply it, the beauty world can make you feel like there’s only one right way. Spoiler alert: there isn’t. Whether you paint your face like a Renaissance witch with a brush, bounce a sponge like a chaotic alchemist, or blend with your bare fingers like a forest spirit — there’s no wrong ritual, only what works best for you.   🌙 1. The Brush — Precision & Power Makeup brushes are your wands of control.They’re perfect for those who love a polished, airbrushed finish — each stroke distributing product evenly and letting you build coverage where needed. 🖤 Flat brushes give fuller coverage — ideal for formal glamour or photography.🕯️ Buffing brushes help melt product into the skin for a natural, seamless look. Pro witch tip: swirl in gentle circles or stipple rather than drag — you’re coaxing the foundation into your skin, not painting a wall.   💧 2. The Sponge — Softness & Seamless Spells The beauty sponge (or blender) is the modern coven’s crystal orb ,squishy, magical, and oddly satisfying. Dampen it slightly before use (never soaking wet, I use our setting spray ), then bounce it gently across your face. This technique gives that coveted “skin-but-better” finish ,sheer, soft, and perfectly diffused. It’s ideal for liquid or cream foundations and especially friendly for those who prefer a dewy, natural glow. ✨ Magickal bonus: use the pointed end for small areas (like around the nose or eyes) and the round side for larger areas.   🌿 3. The Fingers — Raw Energy & Connection Sometimes the most sacred tools are the ones you were born with.Applying foundation with your fingers warms the product, helping it melt effortlessly into your skin, especially true for light, luminous formulas. It’s quick, intimate, and travel-friendly (because who hasn’t done their makeup in a car mirror before a ritual or gig?). 🖤 Best for sheer coverage or tinted moisturisers.🕯️ Wash your hands first, whisper something kind to yourself, and blend with intention.   🖤 4. The Hybrid Method — Chaos & Perfection Many witches combine tools, brush first for placement, sponge after for blending, or fingers to start and brush to finish.Makeup is alchemy, after all sometimes you need more than one element to complete the spell. Experiment, adjust, repeat. That’s how you find your perfect potion.   🔮 So… Which Way Is Right? All of them. None of them. Yours. The truth is, there’s no single correct ritual for foundation.Your skin type, the product formula, the season, and even your mood all play a part. Foundation isn’t about perfection, it’s about harmony. It’s about crafting the skin you want to step into today, whether that’s flawlessly sculpted or naturally radiant. So trust your instincts.Try every tool, mix every technique, and claim your own magick in the mirror. Because makeup, like witchcraft , works best when it’s personal. 🕯️✨
🌹 The Blush Awakening. A  Guide to Summoning Life into the Dead

🌹 The Blush Awakening. A Guide to Summoning Life into the Dead

on Jun 01 2025
  There’s an ancient saying in the coven: “If in doubt, add more blush.”And honestly? I live by it. Blusher isn’t just makeup,  it’s necromancy for the face. One sweep, and you’ve gone from “ethereal ghost haunting the castle halls” to “ethereal ghost who’s thriving.”   💋 What Is Blusher? In mortal terms: pigment that mimics a natural flush, dusted across your cheeks (and sometimes nose) to bring warmth and life to your complexion. In which terms: bottled vitality. The illusion of blood flow. A charm to convince mortals you sleep occasionally. Perfect for the school run and why I wear too much!   🌙 The Symptoms of Blush Blindness You start with a whisper of colour.Then you add a little more.Then a little more.And before you know it, you’re the human embodiment of a freshly summoned spirit who’s just been complimented. Some call this Blush Blindness but I refuse to see it as a problem.   🕯️ How to Conjure the Perfect Flush Choose your potion:Powder for control, cream for dewiness, or Multi Tints for an all-in-one spell.Pick a tone that suits your mood, not your undertone, pinks for feeling cute, corals for vitality, mauves for mystery, reds for “I’ve made questionable choices and look stunning anyway.” Placement, not panic:For a lifted look, focus on the upper cheekbones.For a cute, cottage goblin flush, bring it to the apples of your cheeks and across the nose.There are no rules only vibes. Blend softly (or don’t):Subtle witches tap. Bold witches swirl. Unhinged witches use their entire palm.Whichever path you choose, may your cheeks tell stories of passion, chaos, and excellent lighting. 🩸 The Philosophy of Blush Blusher isn’t about subtlety. It’s about aliveness.It’s proof that even the darkest hearts can carry warmth. So go ahead  drown in rose tones, summon coral storms, and sweep crimson like a fever dream. If anyone asks if you’ve applied too much, simply whisper: “The blood of my enemies, actually.”   💀 In Conclusion Highlighting may call upon moonlight, contour may sculpt shadow  but blush?Blush is the spark of the soul. It’s the laughter in your spell, the pulse in your potion, the secret to looking like you have a heartbeat and a secret. So go forth, you flushed and fabulous necromancer and may your cheeks always look like you’ve just been kissed by chaos itself. 🌹

✨ The Cult of the Glow. A Guide to Highlighting (and Overdoing It, Probably)

on Jun 01 2025
  There are two kinds of witches in this world: those who glow like moonlight on tombstones, and those who claim they “prefer matte finishes.”  Highlighting or illumination magick, as we prefer to call it — is the art of summoning light where the shadows dare not tread. It’s the final blessing in your ritual, the beam of divine chaos that says: Yes, I am alive, and possibly part celestial being.   ✨ What Is Highlighting? In mortal terms: applying a lighter, reflective pigment to the high points of your face, cheekbones, nose bridge, cupid’s bow, brow bone, and anywhere you want the world to notice your otherworldly glow. Or calling upon the moon to personally sponsor your cheekbones. 🌙 How to Highlight Like You’ve Been Touched by the Divine (or Just Your Ring Light) Choose your weapon:Any if our pressed powder highlighters will dazzle and all are valid forms of devotion.If it catches the light and makes you gasp, it’s probably right. Placement matters:Focus on the high points, the places light naturally kisses.Unless, of course, you want to blind your enemies in direct sunlight. Then go wild. Also inner corners of the eyes for that spellbinding stare. Blend (a little):We’re not asking for subtlety, but we are asking for smoothness. Blend enough to look ethereal. Layer like a legend:One swipe whispers. Two swipes speak. Three swipes start a religion. 🕯️ When to Stop (You Won’t) If your reflection can be used to signal ships at sea, you’ve likely gone too far.But also who cares? If you want to gleam like you were forged in the tears of angels, do it. The world’s too dim for dull faces. In the End… Highlighting isn’t just about brightness , it’s about celebration. It’s the magick of declaring: I survived another day, and I’m glowing about it. So light your altar, grab your brush, and make the moon jealous. 🌕    
🌑 The Art of Shadow & Light, A Guide to Contouring

The Ritual Manual (Product Guides)

🌑 The Art of Shadow & Light, A Guide to Contouring

on Jun 01 2025
  There’s magick in the play between darkness and illumination.It’s written in candlelight on cathedral walls, in the flicker of dusk on the skin and yes, in the art of makeup. If you’ve ever looked at a painting and marvelled at its depth, you’ve already understood contouring. It’s the same principle: sculpting with shadow and light to define what already exists and reveal what’s hidden.   🖤 What Is Contouring? Contouring is the craft of sculpting and shaping your face using a shade slightly deeper than your natural skin tone. It creates the illusion of depth, like whispering shadow where the light doesn’t reach. In contrast, highlighting brings forward the features you wish to accentuate, the high points that catch the glow. Together, they form the balance of night and day, yin and yang, shadow and sun.   🌙 Where to Begin Not sure where your natural shadows fall?Sit before a window in soft daylight with a bare face. Observe where the light kisses your skin and where it withdraws. Those darker hollows are your map.That’s where your contour belongs. For most faces, this includes: Beneath the cheekbones Along the sides of the nose Under the jawline Around the temples or hairline Each stroke of contour is a whisper of definition, not a mask. You’re not changing your face...you’re revealing the architecture that’s already there.   🔮 How to Sculpt Like a Shadow Priestess Choose your weapon wisely.Use a contour shade one to two tones darker than your skin cool-toned for realism (all of our contours are cool toned), or warm-toned (bronzer) for sun-kissed drama. Blend with intention.Use small circular motions with a brush or sponge to melt the pigment into your base. Contour should never sit on top of your foundation; it should live within it  like shadow under candlelight. Balance with light.Add highlight where light naturally touches tops of the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, cupid’s bow, and the brow bone. Shadow defines & light awakens. Set your spell.Lock your contour in place with a whisper of translucent powder or setting mist to keep your ritual intact all day (or all night). Your Face Is a Canvas, Not a Commandment There’s no one way to contour, only what feels powerful to you.If you prefer sculpted cheekbones that would make Elvira proud, lean into it. If you love a subtle soft-shadow look, that’s just as valid. Makeup isn’t about rules; it’s about revelation. So don’t fear the experiment ...play, adjust, blend, and learn. The art of contour is learned through light, shadow, and a little daring. That’s how every great spell is mastered. 🖤 A Final Note from the Coven Every contour tells a story.Every highlight sings of resurrection.Together, they remind us that beauty , like magick, is born in contrast. So sculpt boldly. Illuminate gently. And let your reflection remind you: even shadows serve the light. 🌑✨

🎨 Colour Magick: A Guide to Chaos

on Mar 03 2025
  🎨 Colour Magick: A Guide to Chaos Setting Powders & Their Hidden Power In the world of magickal beauty, powders are more than finishers — they are instruments of intention. Our Chaos Setting Powders are crafted not just to set makeup, but to amplify energy, shift atmosphere, and reveal subtle alchemy on your skin. Available in blue, pink, lilac, green, and translucent, they allow you to summon nuance, correct undertones, or weave colour spells directly onto your face. And though not technically part of this line, our white setting powder deserves its own mention , a foundation for light, clarity, and ritual purity. Below, a guide to using these coloured powders in theory and in practice, so you can choose what whispers to you. 🕯️ The Theory: Why Colour Matters in Setting Each shade vibrates with its own energy. In magick, colour is rarely just visual , it's spoken as feeling, intention, and symbolism. When a powder touches your skin, it does more than mattify or blur, it interacts with your undertones, light exposure, and aura. Here’s how each of your Chaos Setting shades can be seen in the language of colour:   Powder Shade Colour Magick Meaning How It Works on Skin Best Use / Intention Pink Compassion, vitality, gentle illumination Softens shadows, brightens dull or tired areas  Under-eyes, center of face, any time you want a soft glow Blue Calm, clarity, space, protection Neutralises warmth or sallowness (especially in oily zones) and cools foundations bases that lean too warm. Apply where skin leans orange or to tone down overheated areas Lilac / Lavender Transcendence, spiritual clarity, imagination Counteracts yellow tones; gives a cool, mystical lift Use across cheeks or forehead in warm lighting Green Balance, renewal, healing Cancels redness and blotchiness Around nose, cheeks, or anywhere with reactive redness Translucent Balance, neutrality, adaptability Maintains your colour while softening texture and controlling oil Use over your entire face to “seal the ritual” White purity, clarity, and light Use it to intensify & highlight Use to set white foundation for an even coverage.   🌙 The Practice: How to Use Your Coloured Powders Here are ritual steps and tips to bring these powders into your daily beauty workings: 1. Choose with Intention Before you dip your brush, ask: “What energy do I wish to bring today?”Select a shade that aligns.Maybe pink to resurrect softness, or green to heal overreaction. 2. Use a Soft, Fluffy Brush Pick your puff, fan, or large soft brush for application.Tap off excess as powders are potent and need the lightest touch.Press or sweep lightly over the areas you want to “set” or subtly colour-shift. 3. Layer Mindfully Under eyes: pink for radiance T-zone or redness zones: blue or green All-over veil: translucent, or a whisper of coloured shade Combining: blend two colours for custom balance (e.g., lilac + pink to cool warm blush) 4. Fix with Setting Mist After powder, mist our Hex Proof Setting Spray to melt the layers together and unify the alchemy so nothing sits too stark.   🖤 Why Choose VE’s Chaos Powders? Finely milled & soft — so they don’t feel heavy or mask-like Colour theory + glamour magick — each tone is chosen for both technical correction and energetic effect Inclusive across skin tones — they’re built to enhance, not mask. ✨ Final Invocation   Colours speak in whispers, not shouts.When you dust your face with pink, green, blue, or translucent powder, you're choosing a mood, weaving a ritual, and letting your aura wear pigment as spell. Let your face be your altar, your tools your ritual implements, and your daily makeup a constant invocation of your personal magick. Allow colour to be more than decoration , allow it to be your ritual.
The Art of Lip Tints: A Witch’s Guide

The Ritual Manual (Product Guides)

The Art of Lip Tints: A Witch’s Guide

on Feb 01 2025
The Art of Lip Tints: A Witch’s Guide Not all magick is written in smoke and fire—sometimes it is whispered on the lips. Our lip tints are more than colour; they are spells of expression, stains of intent, and marks of power that linger long after ritual is done. Whether you crave a bold incantation, a soft blur like twilight mist, or a kiss of colour hidden like a secret, here is your guide to conjuring the perfect lip ritual. Step One: Prepare the Canvas Begin with clean, dry lips—the sacred ground for your spell. Exfoliate gently to banish dead skin. A smooth surface ensures the tint binds evenly, like ink sinking into parchment. Step Two: The First Layer of Magick With wand or brush in hand, sweep a light layer across your lips. Some witches begin at the outer edges, drawing inward like wards closing a circle. Others flood the entire lip, letting the colour claim its space. There is no wrong path, only the one that feels true to you. Step Three: Build the Intensity Let each layer dry like candle wax cooling, then apply another. Do not wipe away between coats—the colour is meant to linger, deepening with each pass. Layer until your desired potency is reached: from faint whisper to thunderous declaration. Step Four: Shape Your Spell Bold Invocation: Apply multiple layers until your lips blaze with fierce intensity. Gradient Glamour: Wash your lips in a lighter shade, then whisper a darker tone into the centre. Press lips together, letting the colours bleed and blend like dusk surrendering to night. Blurred Enchantment: Apply, then smudge with fingertip or brush to soften the edges—like secrets spoken in shadow. Step Five: Seal the Ritual Once the tint has dried, you may leave it matte and eternal—or call upon balm or gloss for shine, comfort, and hydration. Think of it as sealing wax upon a spell, locking in beauty and intent alike. Pro Tip for the Coven: Lip tints can also double as cheek or eye stain—simply summon a very small amount (they are highly pigmented) and blend swiftly for a haunted flush. With lip tints, you are not painting—You are casting.You are conjuring.You are writing your story in colour that refuses to fade. 🕯️💋

Gothic Skincare: How to Use Bat Splats (Hydrocolloid Blemish Patches)

on Jan 06 2025
Bat Splats: Gothic Skincare for Banishing Blemishes Even the most powerful witches are not immune to the occasional blemish. But fear not—our Bat Splats are here to guard your skin like tiny nocturnal familiars. Shaped like bats and powered by hydrocolloid magick, these little patches cloak your blemishes in shadow while drawing out impurities, helping your skin to heal without interference. Unlike harsh treatments that strip or burn, these gothic skincare essentials work quietly and gently. You place the bat, it works its ritual, and by morning the blemish is soothed, shielded, and less inflamed. How to Use Bat Splats (Step-by-Step Ritual) 1. CleanseBegin with a clean slate—wash your face, especially the breakout area, to banish surface oils and impurities. 2. DryEnsure your skin is completely dry. Like parchment awaiting ink, the surface must be ready for the bat to cling securely. 3. ApplyPeel one hydrocolloid bat from its backing and place it directly over your blemish. Press gently, as though sealing a spell. 4. WaitAllow the patch to weave its quiet magick for at least six hours—or let it keep watch overnight. As it draws out fluid, the bat’s centre ( facing your skin) will turn opaque white. 5. RemoveAt dawn, peel the patch away from the edges with care. Dispose of the bat—its work is complete. 6. RepeatIf the blemish still lingers, you may summon another bat to continue the ritual, either on the same spot or a new one. Tips for the Strongest Magick Apply to bare skin—no serums, oils, or moisturisers underneath, or the bat will not adhere. Choose the right moment: these patches work best on blemishes with visible whiteheads or spots that have surfaced. Be patient: resist the urge to pick or prod. The bat shields your blemish from wandering fingers, preventing irritation and scarring. Sleep soundly: overnight wear lets the bat do its work while you dream. Why Choose VE’s Bat Spot Dots? 100% vegan and cruelty-free skincare—no creatures harmed in the making of these nocturnal guardians.

✨ Complexion Magick.How to Find Your Foundation Match (and Why Undertones Matter)

on Aug 01 2022
Every witch knows: magick begins with the right base.Foundation isn’t about hiding who you are , it’s about creating balance, confidence, and harmony between your inner and outer self. But here’s the real spell . It’s not just about choosing the right shade. It’s about finding your undertone, the quiet current of colour that runs beneath your skin, shaping how every pigment reacts upon it. Let’s uncover how to read your tone, decode undertones, and find your perfect foundation ritual. Your undertone is your constant. While your surface tone may change through the seasons, your undertone remains steady, it’s the hidden element that helps foundation blend seamlessly rather than sitting on top of the skin. In colour alchemy, there are three main undertone families: Undertone Common Signs Energy & Symbolism Cool Skin leans pink, blue, or red; veins appear blue or purple The moonlit witch : silver jewellery suits you, and cool shades keep your complexion serene. Warm Skin carries golden, peach, or olive notes; veins look green The sun priestess : gold tones flatter, warmth glows from within. Neutral A balance of both; veins appear blue-green or shift depending on light The shapeshifter : adaptable, balanced, able to wear both moon and sun energy.   Tip: hold a piece of silver jewellery and a gold one against your skin, whichever makes your complexion glow is usually your undertone ally. Remember: magick is flexible. No two witches are the same and neither are their complexions. You may find your perfect base lies in blending two shades together, or using a lighter one in the centre of the face and a slightly deeper one along the outer edges for subtle dimension. Don’t fear the mixing; that’s just modern alchemy. Finding your foundation match isn’t a battle, it’s a conversation with your skin.Listen to it. Watch how it reacts to light, how it responds to texture, how it feels when it’s balanced. Your foundation should never hide your truth , only amplify it.That’s the art of Complexion Magick.
