Discover the Autumn Peaks Palette: Fall Festival Magic in Every Stroke
When Tamina Muhammad set out to create her signature Kraze FX Peaks Palette, she had one vision in mind: capturing the essence of fall festivals and dark fantasy designs in a collection that would work beautifully across all skin tones. The result? Eight stunning split cakes that bring rich, shimmery color combinations to life with incredible ease and versatility.
About Tamina Muhammad: Tamina Muhammad, also known as Tamina Cura (which means "cool to the eyes"), is a professional face painter known for her bold color choices and innovative design work. Based in Minnesota, Tamina draws inspiration from the beautiful autumn color changes she witnesses each season, translating nature's palette into face painting designs that work for everything from fall festivals to fantasy characters. Her signature style combines strong, dramatic colors with practical application techniques that work beautifully in real-world face painting situations.
What Makes the Peaks Palette Special
The Autumn Peaks Palette isn't your typical fall collection. While Tamina initially envisioned it for fall festivals and darker fantasy themes like mystical dragons and dark fairies, the palette's versatility quickly became apparent. These eight carefully crafted split cakes activate beautifully with minimal effort, delivering strong, vibrant color that works equally well with brushes or sponges.
Each split cake in the collection features multiple tones that blend seamlessly together, giving you instant depth and dimension without requiring multiple color layers. The shimmer content is perfectly balanced, providing gorgeous metallic effects without sacrificing coverage or workability.

The Eight Split Cakes: A Complete Color Journey
Willow: Silver, Gold, and Copper Elegance
The Willow split cake combines silver, gold, and copper metallics for stunning shimmer effects. Perfect for tiger and leopard eye designs, this combination activates beautifully with both brushes and sponges. The metallic content is strong enough to create gorgeous glam eyes for adult parties while remaining versatile enough for animal designs. Tamina demonstrates how well it works with stencils, maintaining its shimmer even under texture work.
Octavia: Purple and Pink Metallic Dreams
This unique combination features purple tones with a striking pink outer edge. The pink is the stronger color, so Tamina recommends starting with the purple and finishing with the pink for the best gradient effect. The result is an iridescent, color-shifting look that's perfect for glam eyes and creates a stunning effect on all skin tones. The metallic quality gives it an almost holographic appearance that changes in different lighting.
Hunter: Bold Burgundy and Teal Contrast
For those who aren't afraid of dark, dramatic colors, Hunter delivers. This split cake pairs a deep burgundy with a rich teal, creating combinations perfect for dark fairy designs. Tamina specifically created this with boys in mind who want fantasy character designs without traditional "girly" colors. The burgundy is the strongest color in the mix, but it balances beautifully with the teal tones.
Hazel: Autumn Leaves in Motion
Hazel captures the changing colors of fall leaves, combining yellows, oranges, browns, and greens in one stunning split cake. This combination is ideal for fall festival crowns, leaf designs, and butterfly wings. The green adds an unexpected but natural element that reflects how leaves actually change color in nature. Minnesota's beautiful autumn seasons directly inspired this particular color story.
Evergreen: Four Shades of Forest Magic
The Evergreen split cake features four different green tones, from light lime to deep forest green. When paired with the Aspen split cake, you can create complete forestry scenes, mystical dragon designs, and natural landscape elements. The variety of greens gives you instant depth for tree designs and nature-themed face painting.
Aspen: Blues and Greens for Mystical Scenes
Aspen combines three different blues with green tones, perfect for darker dragon designs and mystical creatures. The color progression from green through teal to royal and dark blue creates depth automatically. This split cake works beautifully for creating dimension in fantasy designs and pairs perfectly with Evergreen for complete forest and dragon scenes.
Amber: Perfect Pumpkin Tones
With a yellow center, medium orange, and darker orange, Amber was specifically designed for pumpkin designs. But don't stop there—the three-tone combination gives you instant dimension for any design. The accompanying green and burgundy tones allow for changing leaf effects, adding that extra fall festival touch to your pumpkin characters and scarecrow designs.
Marigold: Fire and Fall Combined
Marigold features yellows and reds that work beautifully for both fire effects and fall leaves. Tamina uses this combination for her signature funky scarecrow designs, where the light, medium, and dark tones create instant dimension. The red pops beautifully against the yellow, making it perfect for bold festival designs.
Sunkissed: Unexpected Orange and Green Beauty
The final split cake in the collection surprised even Tamina. Originally intended to be yellow, dark orange, and red, the final version includes light green, dark green, and two orange tones. The result? A butterfly lover's dream and a stunning combination for citrus designs, fall snakes, and creative interpretations. Sometimes the best color combinations come from unexpected choices.
Application Tips from Tamina
Throughout the demonstration, Tamina shared valuable techniques for getting the most from the Peaks Palette. She showed how a 3/4-inch brush works well for picking up full split cake combinations, while a smaller number 8 brush allows you to select specific colors from the cake for more controlled designs.
The split cakes activate with minimal water—just two spritzes is often enough to bring out the rich, vibrant color. This quick activation makes them perfect for fast-paced festival work where you need strong color without extensive loading time.
Sponge application brings out even more intensity in the shimmer effects, particularly in the metallic cakes like Willow and Octavia. The colors blend beautifully whether you're using brushes or sponges, giving you flexibility in your application method based on the design at hand.
Beyond Fall Festivals
While the Autumn Peaks Palette was designed with fall festivals in mind, its versatility extends far beyond autumn. These colors work beautifully for Christmas designs, particularly gingerbread characters, reindeer, and turkey designs. Easter designs benefit from the Marigold combination, while the shimmer cakes create stunning looks for any party or special event.
The darker fantasy elements make this palette perfect for Halloween, cosplay events, and any situation where you need dramatic, eye-catching designs. The range of colors allows you to create complete landscape scenes, abstract designs, and character work without needing to reach for multiple palettes.
Performance on Different Skin Tones
One of the most impressive aspects of the Peaks Palette is how beautifully it performs across different skin tones. Tamina demonstrated each split cake on her own caramel-toned skin, showing how the colors pop and maintain their vibrancy. The shimmer content doesn't get lost on darker skin tones—instead, it enhances the overall effect.
The cleanup is straightforward with minimal staining, even from the deeper colors like the burgundy in Hunter and the reds in Marigold. The green tones showed slight staining during the demo, but nothing excessive for professional face paint.

The Autumn Peaks Palette represents a new size and style in the Kraze FX split cake lineup, and it comes complete with a brush that's perfect for picking up either full color combinations or selected hues from each cake. The compact format makes it easy to add to your existing kit while expanding your color options significantly.
