We’ve all witnessed someone walk around with the dreaded line of poorly blended foundation caked onto their face. Or seen a contour so obvious and sad our soul cries a little. Luckily, those days are numbered (or at least we hope), as innovative lighting company Glamcor has the perfect solution!!
An example of varying Kelvins in a Glamcor light
The key to flawless makeup application is colour temperature! Many people live their normal lives, applying makeup on a day to day basis, and are not aware of this essential rule. Colour temperature is a characteristic of visible light that is extremely important for lighting, photography, videography, and makeup application. It is measured in units called Kelvins (K).
Colour temperature that is measured over 5,000K are “cool”, and tends to have a blueish white hue.
Colour temperature that measures between 2,700K – 3,000K is warm.
Glamcor has taken the understanding of colour temperature and created a line of professional grade lighting equipment designed to aid in the colour matching and fine detail work that goes along with the makeup industry. The line includes various lights that are easy to transport, compact, durable, and easy to use. Prép couldn’t resist all the hype and had to try one out ourselves!
The Glamcor line has many different styles of lights to choose from, we went with one that would fit in Préps makeup station and lash area. Versatility is essential at our busy spa! We chose the newly released Multimedia Extreme with Selfie function. The kit itself includes 2 large lighting panels connected to the freestanding telescopic base with flexible arms (an added bonus for lighting from different angles), remote control with Bluetooth function, and a travel case. Depending on what you use it for, there are also many different add on accessories to build up your Glamcor kit. Some accessories include a clip on mirror, bases for your tablet, phone, or camera, and even clamps for hard to reach surfaces!
Our light has awesome adjustable light settings, with a standard setting on 5,600K. Users are able to use the extensive list of options to find the perfect light balance to suit any situation. The lighting panels are made up of mini ultra HD LED bulbs that are flicker free and don’t heat up, making set up and take down simple with no wait time! The lightweight aluminum tripod stand slides smoothly and can expand to over 6ft.
