SPOTLIGHT: 5 ETSY SHOPS to LOVE PART 3

Read 5 ETSY SHOPS to LOVE part 2 here to refresh your Etsy lovin' memories, then continue on:

SHOP: SPECTRUM COSMETICS c/o Torik2009

LOCATION: CONNELLSVILLE, PA

Spectrum Cosmetics offers a range of "100% Natural Cosmetic Grade Pigments" suitable for use on lips, face, nails & eyelids (as indicated in each item's listing on the Etsy shop's page). Not only are the pigments a fabulous treat for use atop your lids, they are also a collection of colorful deliciousness to feast your eyes upon as you shop! Below I've noted several shades that I find wearable for everyone, in addition to three lovely hues that provide a beautiful opportunity to try 2010's blue trend.

Chocolate and Cinnamon (Dark Brown) Mineral Eyeshadow

*Chocolate & Cinnamon will be a nice alternative to using a black shadow when creating a smoky eye. Dampen your brush slightly before patting pigment along the outer corner and crease. (Watch my tutorial - Society's Guide to Smoky Eye for a 5 minute smoky eye how-to!)

Vintage (Dark Antique Gold) Mineral Makeup Eyeshadow

Iced Mango (Rosy Peach) Mineral Eyeshadow

Scale (Blue Green) Mineral Eyeshadow

*Scale would be particularly lovely for use with green and hazel eyes! Gorgeous - I swoon at the thought!

Neptune (Shimmery Blue) Eyeshadow

Dragonfly (Deep Blue) Mineral Eyeshadow

*Apply Dragonfly along the lash-line with a dampened hard angle brush and blend out slightly to create a soft, sultry effect.

Spectrum Cosmetics features oodles of lovely shades to oggle - Shamrock, Merlin, and Alloy are just three more of the amazing colors offered by the seller! With the most expensive shade costing only $6.00 for a 5 gram sifter jar, funding the purchase of all your faves is no difficult feat!

Yet another reason to love Etsy!
