Spider Red

Perfect for: superheroes, bats, dragons, dinosaurs, butterfly edges and more!
Our signature ultra-narrow dark strip ensures extra depth and definition, without overwhelming the cake, giving you the flexibility to:
- Use a 3/4” brush to pick up the full spectrum for full on festive impact.
- Or just 3 colours with a 3/8” or 1/2” brush for softer, more delicate designs
How to Use:
- Lightly mist the cake with water before activating
- Wet the brush (removing excess water), load your brush gently at first, with back and forth strokes to activate the colour and work it up the bristles.
- Blend seamlessly with base shades for eye-catching results every time
- Also perfect for sponging for elegant eye make up looks!
