SPECTRA Eye Colour

Description
Introducing a new generation of SPECTRA: UTOPIA, a colour collection inspired by the Bauhaus movement and its use of primary shades and unity between artist and designer.
Blur the lines of physical and digital reality with SPECTRA Eye Colour. Made using retroreflective beads within a smooth creamy formula, our innovative glass microspheres are half-coated with aluminium to transform the product into a bright, reflective silver under a phone camera's flash.
SPECTRA can be applied using a brush or your fingers, and for best results, leave the product to dry for about a minute. To activate its reflective effect, use the back-facing camera on your phone with the flash on, and watch it transform through your phone's screen.

How to capture SPECTRA
01. Apply SPECTRA and allow to dry fully
02. Ensure you have a small and direct light source like a ring light that can go around your camera lens or the back flash of your phone’s camera
03. Find a dark environment with minimal or absent light
04. Strike a pose and take your photo with the flash on or a light close to your eyes
TOP TIP: Showcase the on/off effect by alternating the light exposure to reveal the unseen, a live photo with flash showcases the effect best.

FAQ's

Frequently asked quetions

Q: What are retroreflective beads?

A: Retroreflective beads are tiny glass spheres that have an aluminium coating on one side. These are what give SPECTRA its transformational properties as they reflect light straight back at you, allowing you to see their bright effect.

Q: Are retroreflective beads environmentally friendly?

A: Based on the current scientific research available, glass spheres are not considered to be toxic or harmful to the environment. Unlike microplastics or microbeads, the retroreflective beads don’t bio-concentrate up the food chain.

Q: How are retroreflective beads different from microbeads?

A: Microbeads are extremely small (<5mm) pieces of plastic that are banned in cosmetics. SPECTRA uses retroreflective beads that are made of glass and not plastic, therefore are not classified as microplastics, and so aren’t banned or harmful to the environment.

Q: How are retroreflective beads different from glitter?

A: Glitter and Bio-glitter is usually made from PET/cellulose that’s been coated in aluminium and their individual pieces are flat which means they don’t retroreflect. SPECTRA’s beads are made from glass and are spherical, allowing them to retroreflect light unlike glitter.

Q: Will SPECTRA irritate my eyes?

A: SPECTRA is completely safe to use and has been approved for use on the eye. It’s undergone ophthalmological testing and is classified as a non-irritant.
