Spirit Spray! Spray on makeup

 This, my lovely kittens is the Spirit Spray, which is a spray-on makeup. Basically, it's like hairspray, only it goes on your face, but I suppose if you did want to color your hair for halloween, this could go there too. Spirit Spray can be found at Classifed Cosmetics as well as a wide variety of other unique, lovely aeresol and cosmetic items.


How to use Spirit Spray

 This simple-to-use, non-messy colorful makeup goes on by pressing the push button and holding it away a few inches from your face. However, for details like coloring the eyelids or specific designs on your skin, you can spray a little on paper and dip a Q-tip in for more precise application. 

Directions:

• Shake before use.
• Protect surroundings.  
• Aim nozzle where you want to apply, and hold 10" away from skin.
• Close eyes while spraying face!
• Use small circular and/or zig-zag movements for best, non splotchy application. Try both circular and zig-zag motions to find which best works for you. I personally done a little of both while applying a thick layer of white.

  These are what the Spirit Spray colors look like on skin. You can see there's a big pink spot on my arm -- Spirit Spray does not come in pink, but this smart little 13 year old of our's had the idea to mix white and red so I could get my favorite, pink! It worked and is a really lovely shade! I really love the bold royal blue. It looks so pretty.

  

 Special Features:

• Water and wear resistant.
• Removes with oil-based cleanser such as olive oil or any oil-based cleanser you have will suffice. I had a bit of blue stained skin leftover and tried a drugstore remover, but still felt like I had a blue tint, so I tried this Seabuckthorn Oil and whaddyaknow!? Gone like that. 
• Buildable, hypo-allergenic color.

  Unfortunately, I did not have time to do something nice and fun with this spray yet, and since I wanted to post about it here before halloween comes, I will just have to update you with photos of what I end up creating out of this neat stuff! I'm not very artistic, but I know this will prove to be loads of fun decorating faces with. It's definitely a must for halloween. 

  If you're planning to dress up or your kids will be for halloween, I highly recommend using Spirit Spray to add a more unique, personal touch to a costume. It's very different from your cheap halloween makeup palletes you get at the drugstore. This actually goes on smoothly and has a professional look to it! 

  If you're feeling super creative, you can use stencils to paint all sorts of designs on skin. 

  The uses are pretty endless since this Spirit Spray comes in a variety of colors, so its use is not limited to just halloween night. If your school colors happen to be white, red, black, green or blue, this would be loads of fun! You can use Spirit Spray to paint your (or your child's) school colors on their faces for football season. If you or your child plays sports, this spray definitely gives you something unique to work with in terms of showing your school spirit creatively! I actually thought about using this for the 13 year old's foot ball games too, but our school colors are maroon and gold and well, green, black, white, blue and red do not come close to that. 

Besides those couple of fun options, Spirit Spray is also fun for kids' parties -- face painting! Heck, even I like face painting. 

And since adults are just older lookin' kids, we can use Spirit Spray for halloween or our own fun as well. The Spirit Spray came with a lovely little brochure thingy that had a photos of someone's face very artistically done up. Just get creative, and you can come up with a lot of fun designs.

And, if you're idea is to be Jack Sparrow for Halloween, Spirit Spray will be a super easy method of applying a more detailed look. I have a friend who's considering being Jack Sparrow, and we plan to (try) and decorate him up with the black and white Spirit Spray! Very fun. I do look forward to that.

As shown in my photos, Spirit Spray comes in green, white, black, red and blue. All colors are very pigmented and go on nice and smooth, not runny and watery or too transparent, which will be very handy.

Also, the Spirit Spray, when sprayed directly onto skin, tends to splatter a little, so using a circular or the recommended zig-zag motions over the skin is helpful. 

What  I really love about Spirit Spray is how bold the color shows up and how awesome the application looks when dried! No worries about streaks and smears because this stuff dries really well. In fact, a good soap will be needed to fully remove a dark color like blue, but the fun you have with it is all worth a nice scrubbin'! 

Spirit Spray doesn't crack after the application has dried, and while it is a spray-on color makeup and caution should be taken not to get it all over your clothing, it does really well as far as messyness goes. I actually got brave and sprayed it while sitting on my bed and there wasn't any mist that fell onto clothing or the sheets. So it's not something you'll have to wear a hazmat suit for or put plastic all over your furniture. If you're a little messy by nature though, applying outside isn't a bad idea. You can always wear an old T-shirt and put down old towels where you're working (bathroom or bedroom floor, etc) to ensure no color gets on your belongings. Spirit Spray recommends even standing in the bath tub to apply, which would be a great idea.

The Spirit Spray is oil-free so it doesn't clog pores or leave you with a really shiny application. For the most part, the colors are matte when dried, not wet, oily or shiny looking, and so far, I've been able to leave small applications on my skin without it rubbing off onto my clothing.



My feelings on the Spirit Spray? Impressed. Excited! I am excited to really put this stuff to use on our faces, especially my lovely friends and the kids! I ain't a great artist, but we'll all just have to do some practicing on each other. It would be helpful if you have someone to help with fine details, but for the most part, this is totally simple to use. If you've applied eyeliner properly without huge disaster, you'll do fine with this! 

I'm really not 100% sure what "design" I'll choose to do with this. I have a few fun, creepy ones in mind, but I'll leave that to your imagination and update you when I do get time to paint everyone up and post photos. I like that you can use this without having world-renowned artists skills or having to spend tons of time reapplying. It's spray, so I find it's so much easier than using other makeups by hand. It seems this will allow for a few more mistakes without it totally ruining the look you're going for. 

So, I hope you guys decide to dress up, have fun and decorate yourselves and your loved ones like crazy with Spirit Spray. And then of course, share your own photos! I'd love to see what you guys come up with. 




In the meantime, be on the lookout for my photos!

Much love, darlings.
