The work of visionary filmmaker Tim Burton has inspired many artists—including Deb Gavin, Keratin Complex’s International Artistic Director for Color Therapy. “I love the vibrancy and black contrast Tim Burton uses. His trademark is exaggerated colors; his love for all things dark and bizarre is a draw to me. I love the unexpected. It’s not like Japanese anime. It has realness and darkness so it’s a bit disturbing. I love looks that create an emotion with them, and using light and different angles to contrast reality. It’s fantasy with reality.”

Deb’s goal for the Nightmare Collection—“looks that create an emotion with them”—was achieved using Color Therapy™ tools in intense formulations and strategic placements to “keep the finishes real and not punk-rock or neon, but still strong.”
