Devinah Shadowplay - Submit Your Swatches And Eye Looks

Witch illustration 🖤 Devinah Shadowplay - Community Swatch Ritual 🖤

Color. Community. Story. ✨🌙

Shadowplay is our ongoing swatch and look ritual for the Devinah community. Sometimes it is an October anniversary tradition. Other times it is a seasonal theme or a one night only prompt. All of it lives under one name and one idea: share the magic of the shadows you already own.

This is not just about swatching eyeshadows. It is about swatching your story. The shades that mark your memories, your mood, and your magic.


✨ What is Shadowplay?

Shadowplay is our way to come together around Devinah singles. Each ritual uses a simple prompt. It might be three meaningful shades from your collection, a seasonal color story, or a theme like winter shimmer or autumn fog.

The current Shadowplay prompt will always be explained in the latest Shadowplay blog post. When in doubt, choose up to three Devinah singles that feel right for the theme and tell us why they matter to you.

🌾 How to Take Part

  1. Check the current Shadowplay blog post for the theme and dates.
  2. Pick your Devinah singles that fit the prompt (often three, unless the blog says otherwise).
  3. Finger swatch them or create a simple eye look. Mattes, shimmers, multichromes, or a mix.
  4. Style your photo with any backdrop that feels like you. Spooky, witchy, seasonal, or simple and clean.
  5. Label your shades so other Devinah lovers can find them.
  6. Share your entry with us in one of two ways:
  • On Instagram: Tag @devinahcosmetics and use #DevinahShadowplay plus the seasonal tag listed in the current Shadowplay blog (for example #FrostboundInSnowlight).
  • Not on Instagram? Use the upload form on this page to send your photo and story straight to our studio.

🌙 A Ritual, Not a Contest

Shadowplay has its roots in our old Trick or Trio tradition, but it has grown into something softer and more personal. It is not a giveaway, challenge, or competition. It is a shared ritual.

There are no winners and no prizes. Every swatch and every story is part of a bigger archive of Devinah singles in the wild. If your entry is featured, it is because we loved your story and want to celebrate it, not because anyone was ranked.

✨ Thank You For Playing In The Shadows

Whether this Shadowplay ritual is an October anniversary, a winter collab, or a quiet seasonal prompt, your entry helps keep Devinah a community built brand. You are choosing to shop your own collection, to find new stories in familiar pans, and to share that with all of us.

Thank you for taking the time to swatch, photograph, and write. Your hands, your creativity, and your words are what make Shadowplay feel alive.
