The “Eyes” Have It
Eyecons – Created by Jessica

Eyecons: Metallic
powder bindis that you can use over and over again.
First a thank you to Jessica for giving us such a
wonderfully easy product to use, and second for the fabulous effect it gives
our eyes and faces on stage. And for the
record, don’t think you have to stop with your eyes and face - - - these
exciting stamps can be used anywhere on the body - - they make the cutest ankle
bracelet, or wrist bracelet and look dynamite stamped up your left from ankle
to thigh.
With 26 colors (natural mineral pigments which create the
Eyecon effect) to choose from you could blend to make even more. Really - the color range is staggering. As examples:
you don’t get just one gold – you get three and then add the bronze and
copper realm. Silver ranges from silver
to black oxide and then you have several shades of blue, red, purple, green - -
- - makes me shake (shimmy) just thinking about it. Almost like trying to figure out which candy
you want when you step up to the Sees counter.
Now, add to this the 60 or so shapes (laser-cut acrylic
stamps designed for cosmetic application) and there is no stopping your
creativity. If you like skulls and bats,
moons and suns, stars and more stars, fire, hearts, pentacles, or if Egyptian
symbols are your bag you have the Eye of Ra, Eye of Horus and there is Goddess
symbols, vines/leaves, Dolphins, and so very many more. My next purchase is the PHOENIX - - truly
lovely.
Jessica offers multiple ways to purchase and lots of
“Starter Kit” suggestions depending on your preference/theme. Such as:
Celestial I (Sun, Moon, Star, Goddess symbol stamps with peacock blue,
black mica glitter, gold rush powders) or Egyptian I (Nefertiti, Eye of Horus,
Ahnk, Star with Cerise Flambe, BlackStar Blue and UltMar Violet powders). You can order in small sets or larger
groupings and if you have something special you need in your set, just drop
Jessica a quick email – she is wonderful at putting together just what you
need. Prices range from $15.00 color
sets to Eyecons starter kits at $35 or of course customized to your needs.
Along with the colors and stamps, you will receive in your
starter kit, the small spoon/spatula set, darling little tiny bowls, fix/mix
liquid, written instructions, and there is even a mirror included. There are instructions on the Eyecons web
site, with pictures as well as a video to follow.
Add to all this, Jessica has the ingredients listed on her
sight which was extremely helpful for me since I am allergic to so many
things. This product causes me no grief
whatsoever - - following all of her directions.
I am a fan of the liquid application “Sweat Proof Technique” - - I get
much more time out of the product this way.
With students and troupe members who have issues with
makeup, this product has been a blessing.
One of my troupe members comments:
“My eyes tear a lot so it was
really great to find something that could enhance my eyes and eye makeup that
was not applied directly to the lid.
What’s better is the ease of application. My preference is the wet application - -
stays on so much better for me.”
