Mehron Makeup ProColoRing Bruise 5 Color Wheel for Special Effects & Movies | Bruise Makeup Kit | SFX Paint | Halloween Special Effects Makeup

I purchased this for my 12 year old daughter along with Liquid Latex. She wanted to learn how to make scars for halloween and this, along with the latex is what she wanted to begin creating scars with. She watched some videos in how to begin. She tried this product for the first time and seems happy with it although now said she needs to get fake looking blood now. The shipping was as expected and arrived on day it was supposed to.

Was just as I expected from the product. The colours are great & work well with each other and last. Due to the softness of the cream foundation they will need to be set if you want them to stay as-painted for a full day. Ive found that they can get a bit blurred and muddled together easily. This makes them really great for base coats, but for detail work that will last they may not be the best option. Definitely worth it for the price though.

I got this as part of an acting skit I was doing and wanted to experiment with it and add a realistic element to it. I have no experience working with special effects make up and I was able to do it really easily. I posted a picture to my Snapchat as a joke and everyone was asking me what happened because they thought it was real. Great for Halloween or any costume that requires bruises or marks.

I LOVE THIS. Love this. As far as FX makeup goes, with everything Ive tried, this was the best. Shipping was fast, it arrived a day earlier than expected, which was great because that gave me some more time to practice with it before Halloween. It came packaged nicely, securely, and totally intact. I made a liquid latex zombie mouth prosthetic for Halloween this year. The wheel is decently sized, a little larger than my palm. It contained enough of every color for me to not only paint my prosthetic, but to have more than enough left over to do some stuff on my face and such as well. The green and yellow colors are pretty vibrant, but are easily dulled down by blending out or adding some black in along with them. The makeup applies smoothly, and dried on the latex and doesnt come off the latex without soap and water, (which is great) but is removable from the skin with a makeup remover wipe. The only vices with this product are these - If you sweat a *lot*, its going to come off. I applied it to my nose and it started coming off after about twenty minutes. I fixed this by taking a bit of anti perspirant (gross I know, but it worked) on my nose before putting on the makeup. That worked better. Obviously, any makeup does this. Just a warning and what worked for me. Be prepared. The second is this - I wouldnt advise using your day to day make up brushes with this product. Applying my makeup yesterday, I realized I was still getting green from the wheel on my face along with my eyeliner. So either be prepared to clean really well, or use brushes you dont like so much (or ones for FX use.) All in all, great product. Would totally buy this again. (And hey, I might, next Halloween.)

I usually use acrylic paint to make bruises and cuts simply because the paint dries and I dont have to worry about smears. But the colors are so much better in this wax pallet and if you set them properly they last as well!! Will be buying again when I use this one up.

This bruise wheel is great for basic sfx makeup use or for a Halloween costume. I bought this to do sfx makeup for a friends short film, and so far Ive had a great experience with it. The color applies smooth and blends well; the payoff could be a little bit stronger, but overall its really easy to layer the color to make it more opaque. Because these colors are cream based, they do smear a bit, and the staying power isnt the best. I recommend setting with either Mehron Colorstay powder or some regular translucent powder (e.l.f. makes a great one.) Before you use this product, you might want to wipe down the area youre applying it to with some rubbing alcohol or non-oil based makeup remover, as Ive noticed that having oils on your skin beforehand can cause the product to smear a bit. My only slight tick is that the cream color base can seem, at times, to sit on top of the skin, which can ruin the realistic effect youre going for, but with enough blending, thin layers, and a dusting of powder, this isnt a huge issue. If youre really worried about full realism, look into alcohol-activated dry pigments. Overall, Im very pleased with this product. Ive used other bruise wheels before and various other cream based makeups and this has some of the best color payoff and smoothest formula Ive seen so far. Works great when applied with a dry makeup sponge or brushes. This is the perfect product if youre looking for something a little easier to use than Ben Nyes bruise wheel or if youre staring a basic sfx makeup kit; for heavy-duty makeup, like for a theater production or prolonged photoshoot, I would recommend an alcohol-activated bruise palette. Still, this wheel great product to have on hand.

Love that the texture is easy to blend and work with, I have another little palette of similar colours and they’re a little more in the sticky side. Anyway I have to use this for my costume for work and it works perfectly!

The product is good applies well and looks great but I think I made the mistake of getting a wheel of makeup based on the colors and not the intended use. This wheel had all the colors and undertones of a face makeup application i was doing. First thing that threw me off is that the black looks like a true black in the photos, but in person its a very blue tinted color which makes sense for a bruise but again not what I was using it for. The colors could have been more full-coverage but were buildable. Again makes more sense for a bruise application. I only took one star off because it wasnt what I was expected but thats partly my fault.

First time putting on makeup and it worked out great. Easy to use and looked real. Make sure to get the colorset powder to seal it.

I got this for a stagecraft class this semester. Just what I needed, and came quickly. I love Mehron and would definitely recommend them.
