After spending a few years venturing into the world of indie cosmetic companies and simply falling in love with loose shadows, my best friend and I decided we should try to make some ourselves. At first it was just something fun to do in our down time (she's a graphic design student and I am a stay at home mom/seamstress designer) but it quickly turned into a project. We realized how much fun we were having and the ideas just kept coming and now we have a notebook full of ideas for future collections.
We wanted to focus on a huge love of ours for the first one, Harry Potter. So we developed a 24pc Harry Potter based collection; we will eventually expand on it (we already have but shhhh). We wanted it to be cohesive enough to wear any of the shades together but diverse enough to cover all bases (haha see what I did there?). The only things the current collection is missing is pink and orange. But don't worry, those are definitely coming :). For these swatches I will not divulge the shade names as we haven't finalized all of them, but will refer to them as a number from their house (ie. Hufflepuff 1, 2, etc). I am no photographer so these photos don't cover the complete awesomeness that these shadows offer, but we will be offering samples for test runs soon.
Gryffindor
Left to right: G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, G6
G1 - the highlighter of the set. This one is a super light golden wash of shimmery goodness. It has a slight green hint to it even though it is a warm toned shade.
G2 - our neutral caramel shade. It is yellow enough to work on tan complexions but has a dusting of red sparks through it so it can be worn on pink tones as well.
G3 - blackened gold. This shade has a deep dark base so it is beautiful for a golden goddess smokey eye look or a bold accent.
G4 - SHIFTER! This shade starts out as a light pinky lavender but will shift to light rose, to light platinumy gold depending on the light.
G5 - cool toned berryish red, this one is the true colour of natural rubies. It also has a smidge of silvery shimmer.
G6 - bricky scarlett. This one will shine more browny or more pinky depending on the angle.
Slytherin
Left to right: S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, S6
S1 - perfect ethereal highlighter when worn sheer, wonderful solid when worn opaque. This silver is not average, it has tonnes of green sparkle to it.
S2 - The closest to emerald you are going to get from this set. This one has slight yellow undertones and some green spark flashes.
S3 - The best green in the world (IMHO). It is a mid toned bright green with hoardes of pink sparkles!
S4 - SHIFTER! This one has a blackened base and shifts from green to green gold to reddy gold.
S5 - pewter base with green and blackened silver shimmer
S6 - darkest black green with loads of green shimmery sparkles
Hufflepuff
Left to right: H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6
H1 - absolutely lovely light shade of palest rose gold and pink shimmer
H2 - Bold gold
H3 - SHIFTER! Warm brown base that shifts from red to red gold to copper
H4 - deep earthy base with copper shimmer and slight yellow tan duochrome effect
H5 - dark blackened brown base loaded with gold and copper sparks (this was really hard to capture)
H6 - bright green with dark yellowed base
Ravenclaw
Left to right: R1, R2, R3, R4, R5. R6
R1 - palest silvery blue with pink duochrome
R2 - steely blue with blue sparks
R3 - inky blue with sapphire sheen
R4 - icy pink with blue sparks and blurple shift
R5 - SHIFTER! This one has a warm bright brown base that shifts from gold to copper to purpley red
R6 - rich and warm reddish brown with hints of gold
So that is what we have so far. let us know what you think of them! Oh, also if the name we are running with sucks horribly haha, Transfiguration Cosmetics.
