Dear Friends, Supporters, and Customers,

It is with both gratitude and heavy hearts that we announce the closure of our Denver studio. As of mid-August, Darkness Cosmetics & Mile High FX will transition to online-only sales.

This decision was not made lightly. Since our founding in 2002, we’ve been proud to lead with innovation, creativity, and integrity—becoming the first company to achieve Leaping Bunny certification and the only brand to produce a body marbling kit using FDA-approved ingredients. These milestones are part of a legacy we deeply treasure and will never forget.

However, the landscape has changed dramatically. The rising cost of materials, declining sales, and an oversaturated market full of white label imports from China have made it impossible to continue operating at our current scale. It’s clear that in order to survive—and one day, thrive again—we need to downscale every part of our operations.

To mark this transition, we will be holding a company-wide clearance sale beginning mid-August, where all in-stock items will be deeply discounted. This is your chance to stock up on your favorite products before they're gone, and to help us clear the shelves for what’s next.

We may be closing one chapter, but we’re not done writing the story. We don’t know exactly what the future holds—but we’re hopeful. We’re inspired. And we’d love for you to stand by us and see where we go next.

Thank you for more than two decades of support, creativity, and community. We wouldn’t have made it this far without you.

With love and endless appreciation,
The Darkness Cosmetics & Mile High FX Team
