An unashamedly romantic toxic tenderness, a corrupted cuteness, an incandescent innocence. The idea behind the collection was a hybrid race born out of an apocalypse, with the girls part of a generation of a mutated race with exaggerated proportions and exaggerated features." - Alex Box, Creative Director

CREAM PIGMENTS

A brand new formulation that breaks new ground in versatility - use as blush, eye colour, highlights, contours, on lips or even the hair ...

We have supplied you with an artist's palette so that you can experiment with colour - try mixing and matching these colours for maximum impact ...

Hollow - This toffee shade is perfect as a contour on paler skintones. it also works brilliantly as an eye shadow base on olive and darker skintones.

Delirium - This rose taupe shade is fantastic for contouring pale to olive skintones as well as adding a healthy flush to all skintones as a blusher or as a soft rose lip.

Mould - Because every Spring collection needs a touch of darkness, this grape shade is stunning as a base for smoky eyes or an intense, statement lip.

Emerge - This peach brightens under eye shadows, and is beautiful as a highlighter on oliver to darker skintones. It's also a very flattering blusher on paler skin tones.

Bedaub - This mint green is a wonderful eye base and flattering for all skintones. You can also mix with Satin Primer to tone down the impact and this works beautifully as a skin colour corrector to neutralise redness.

Dab - This gentle lilac is beautiful for eyes, lips and cheeks especially for a 60s look.
