The Collection
This Color Set contains all three shades of the Shadow Spectrum collection. Together, they capture a full range of unexpected darkness for creative exploration in eye looks.
The Colors
Dusk // An inky blue of hypnotizing richness. Dusk is at once dark and vibrant, smoky and bright. This shade evokes the churning sea, the twilight sky, and precious lapis lazuli.
Cinder // A bold, cool-toned storm gray for looks both subtle and daring. Cinder is at once moody and approachable, nostalgic and ultramodern. This shade evokes ominous storm clouds, delicate ashes, and cold slate.
Iron // A deep, sultry red evoking the depths of blood, wine and rust. Iron is at once unexpected and utterly flattering. This is the long-requested return of a beloved shade, exclusive to our site and to be made only in small batches.
ABOUT THE PIGMENT AND ITS USAGE
Dusk is created with the deep blue of ultramarine pigment. Historically ultramarine pigment was made from lapis lazuli stone ground into a fine powder, and this resulted in the rarest blue pigment used in Renaissance painting. Though it also beautifully reflects the pigment’s hue, the name ‘ultramarine’ comes from 14th- and 15th-century Italian traders referencing its origin ‘beyond the sea’ from mines in Afghanistan.
Like other mineral pigments, modern cosmetics-grade ultramarine is synthesized for safety, as mined pigments may contain notable levels of heavy metals. Ultramarine pigment is approved for use in the United States for eyes and face, but not lips. In the European Union, ultramarine is approved for use on eyes, face and lips.

Does The Black Orb formula set or dry down?
The Black Orb is formulated to set without a harsh dry down. We make The Black Orb with a film former (you'll see it in the ingredients list as "Capryloyl Glycerin/Sebacic Acid Copolymer). To best allow the film former to work its magic, we recommend applying in thin layers to allow the product to set, rather than doing a heavy single application. However, The Black Orb remains workable, which allows for a more forgiving application when compared to eyeliner formulas with fast, hard dry-downs. The nonvolatile formula also ensures gentle wear on the delicate skin around your eyes. If you have hooded or extremely oily lids, you may wish to dust a layer of translucent powder on top after application to lock it in further.
Is The Black Orb a gel, powder or cream?
The Black Orb is a creamy kohl formula, with a highly pigmented oil and wax-based formula.
Is The Black Orb water resistant?
Yes, with an oil and wax-based formula, this formula is water resistant.
