The Spectrum Story

Two Sisters

Two Founders

Hi Sweeties,

Lovely to meet you, if this is the first time you've landed on this page we wanted to use it as a space to tell you a bit more about us and our business.

Spectrum was started by two sisters Sophie and Hannah in April 2014. A true start up, the company was created from scratch from a garage in Barry, South Wales, UK. Since then, Spectrum has become a globally recognised brand, loved by consumers for our five core brand values, these being:

Vegan and Cruelty Free - no animal product

Premium Quality - offering only the best

Bold Design - evoking emotion and inspiration, always

Kind to our Planet - striving continually to improve product and packaging to be kinder

Affordable Luxury - Spectrum is universally for everyone


Spectrum specialise in creating makeup, tools and accessories that have professional quality at an attainable price point.

Loved by industry experts and every day beauty consumers alike, the brand has become a go-to for many customers worldwide who connect with our core values and who our products really resonate with.

We're proud to be distributed widely with a range of partners including Boots, Superdrug, Beauty Bay, Ulta, Cult, Look Fantastic, Harrods Beauty, John Lewis and Sephora.

Started from the Garage

Spectrum Collections is fiercely independent and that's one of the reasons we believe we're very different from other corporate beauty brands.

So far We've gone from a garage in Barry to a globally recognised beauty brand. Considering neither of us had a clue what we were doing when we started we have done a lot of business since then, proving that if you work hard enough then you can achieve your dreams, we're living, working, real proof of that.
