> 3 dayJust what I was looking for. I went as a zombie for Halloween and this color wheel was great. Applied easily to the liquid latex and to skin. Came off with makeup wipes at the end of the night.

> 3 dayMaybe I am spoiled by my normal products but this stuff just seamed to tint your skin a vague color instead of actually giving pigment. I dont mean I expected it to be blood read like cream makeup on my skin, but I expected it to work better than this. Its just like...faded colors and greasy. Ive gotten better bruises with an eye shadow palette than this.

> 3 dayMehron for the win. Love this makeup. -Great pigment- Nice and bright. Perfect one brush strokes for designs. -Long lasting- Lasts longer on your face and I get way more use out of this one palette. Other paints run out while this is the gift that keeps on giving. -Best all around- Great for sensitive skin. Doesnt stain. Easy to clean up. Need I say more? Definitely recommend this to anyone looking to give a professional touch to your body and face painting.

> 3 dayI love it, but use the colors lightly. They’re very pigmented and go on very dark.

Greater than one weekThis 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.

> 3 dayWorked great for my Halloween costume and I’d never done this before. I followed a video on YouTube for guidance. It stayed on well and people thought I really had a black eye.

> 3 dayThere were a bunch of pallets on amazon that looked just like this one. However this was the one with the most positive reviews so i figured id give it a try. Well, in my mind i assumed it would be similar to face paint and be quite difficult to blend out. However, i was surprisingly happy to see that the colors are highly pigmented, and go on really well. They also blend really well so you can create realistic looking bruises. The colors are also all pretty nice for bruises! My favorite color was the green, because it gave off this gnarly zombie-bruise look. Definitely a must have for anyone looking to do some special FX makeup!

Greater than one weekI opened the package and thought I would just play with it before hopping in the shower and could wash it off. Insanely easy. Start with red all over add blue and brown in the center and yellow around the outside. Make sure to use a good sponge also. Im so excited to use this on Halloween!
