Kryolan Spring / Summer 2012: Tangible Goddess Collection

Kryolan has quickly become one of my favorite makeup brands as of late. Their line is focused on professional grade products that can be used for photo shoots and on a consumer level. Their packaging is simple, no gimmicks, nothing fancy, just user friendly and easy to use without a lot of bulk. Just the way I like it. The only thing I find confusing is their labeling and color names - some have names, some have numbers, which makes no sense.

Here are some of the pieces from their spring/summer Tangible Goddess collection. Corals, oranges and peaches are a strong trend for the season.



Clockwise from top left:
Professional Eye Shadow Trio Set Matte "Goddess" (Colors Bamboo, F 06, Flamingo)
Lipstick LF401
Eyebrow Powder Medium
Cream Lines in Ebony
Eyelash Adhesive
Lashes TV5
HD Micro Foundation Cache 200
Dermacolor Light Mascara in Black
HD Microsilk Powder MSP11

Here are some swatches and further products:


The eyeshadow trio contains three colors (beige, orange, pink) and all are very well pigmented and have a matte finish.

Matte Blush in Color 926 is a medium beige-peach tone.

Eyebrow Powder in Medium


Lipstick in LF401: a natural rosy peach in a satin finish that goes on very creamy and feels nice


I haven't tested all the products yet besides swatching, but am looking forward to seeing how they perform and look in my videos. I can definitely see myself reaching for the lipstick color often, as it's such a wearable and flattering shade. The blush also looks really beautiful and perfect for fair to medium toned skin.

The question I get most frequently when I show Kryolan products is: Where can I buy it? This is the hardest question to answer because Kryolan has made it fairly difficult for end consumers to easily purchase their products, something I really wish they would change. As Kryolan is a German brand, it is more easily available there and they have some Kryolan stores in larger cities (I have shopped several times at their Berlin store near Ku'Damm), but if you live in other countries, you best bet is to check on their website and see the contact details for their distributor and find out from there where it is sold in your area. There is no universal website where you can order from online. Kryolan is sometimes sold in beauty supply stores or stores that sell professional lines, and at makeup trade shows. One reliable USA shop I know is camerareadycosmetics.com, otherwise you will have to find local suppliers in your area.

    I'd love to see a review on different Kryloan foundations- I often find the color range better than other brands, but as you mentioned, the tricky availability has kept me from taking the plunge!

    So einerseits simpel und andererseits praktisch find ich die Kryolan Verpackungen nicht, muß ich sagen. Bzw. simpel sind sie schon irgendwie, so gesehen, daß sie keine besonderen Spielereien haben, und auch kein super, super Design. Allerdings sind diese matten Aluminiumdeckel (oder jedenfalls deren Alumiumoptik, ich bin nicht ganz sicher, daß es wirklich Aluminium ist) mit dieser kleinen, glänzenden Maske drauf doch schon schön und irgendwie liebevoll, wie ich finde. Es gibt haufenweise Marken, sowohl in der Drogerie als auch High End Kosmetik, deren Vepackungen biederer, einfallsloser und altbackener sind. Also für meinen Geschmack jedenfalls. Was allerdings die praktische Seite der Kryolanverpackungen angeht, bin ich weniger angetan. Auf Beispielsweise hab ich mir auf Deine Empfehlung hin vor ein paar Monaten den Micro Silk HD Puder gekauft. Und von dem Produkt als solchem bin ich auch echt begeistert, das war ein toller Tip! Allerdings hab ich den Puder in eine leere Nivea Soft Cremedose umgefüllt, weil ich fand, daß man gar nicht anders konnte, als bei der Originaldose jedes Mal den Deckel so ruckartig abzunehmen, daß ich dabei sehr oft bissl Puder verschüttet hab, mindestens hat es aber jedes Mal einfach furchrbar gestaubt, sodaß ich darauf total niesen mußte, was am Ende des Schminkens, beim Puderauftrag eben, natürlich nicht gerade toll ist. Das passiert mit der Cremedose, die ein Gewinde zum Aufdrehen hat, nun nicht mehr. Mag sein daß ich mich vielleicht blöd angestellt hab, ich bin bei sowas schon manchmal etwas ungeschickt, aber ich denke daß eine Kosmetikverpackung, nicht nur, aber gerade bei einem etwas teuereren Produkt, wie diesem, auch wenn man sich ungeschickt anstellt, einwandfrei zu bedienen sein sollte. Da ich die original Kryolan Puderdose aber sehr schön find, hab ich sie behalten, und bewahre jetzt ein paar Haargummis darin auf. Ich persönlich finde die paar wenigen Kryolan Verpackungen die ich habe (auch wenn ich exemplarisch nun nur die Puderdose genannt hab, weil es für mich bei der am augenscheinlichsten ist), also schon schön, aber nicht durchwegs praktisch. Ungeachtet dessen muß ich aber auch sagen, daß ich persönlich noch kein Kryolanprodukt hatte, mit dem ich qualitativ nicht sehr zufrieden gewesen wäre.

    Es una marca genial!! es cierto que a veces es difícil dar con sus productos en tienda, si hay alguien de la zona sur de Madrid que este interesado, puede encontrarlos en Getafe, en Masmusa Make Up, tienen bastante variedad de productos de Kryolan y/o si buscáis algo en concreto os lo pueden conseguir. Salu2 :)

    I have been using Krylon products for more than 20 years, they are always reliable and a quality line, well worth the hunt if you have to.
