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

Used this in a show for a quick change into a black eye. Went on smoothly. Was easy to apply quickly for a realistic but visible to the audience black eye. Came off just as easily for the quick change out of the black eye.

Worked 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.

The first bruise wheel of (potentially many) that Ive purchased! Ill mostly be using it for special effects makeup for films and short videos, but potentially cosplay as well. The colors included in the wheel are the perfect shades for varying degrees of bruised-ness.

This bruise wheel has been so much fun to play with! I had been using only Snazaroo face paints before I got this bruise wheel and I was blown away by how nicely the cream makeups blend and layer. The colors on this bruise wheel are so perfect for both old and new bruises, my preference being new bruises. I love the dark red and blue colors so much I actually use them for other makeups than have nothing to do with bruises :) These have a cool under the skin effect when used underneath liquid foundation and also work really well on gelatin prosthetics.

Using this palette for cosplay (the mid-/post-battle type) and it’s pretty convincing with a little practice! The cream doesn’t smear without effort once it’s dried. These seem to be all the right colors for the varying stages of bruises.

Maybe 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.

Bruise wheel is a staple in any professional face painting or special fx makeup kit. Many companies make a bruise wheel, injury wheel or bruise stack, but I have not found one comparable with Mehrons. While I am a fan of almost all their products, Bruise Wheel is by far my favorite. The cream based makeup is soft, silky and very highly pigmented. A little tap of your finger into the makeup pot is all you need to rub into the skin for a realistic bruising effect. It blends beautifully, and the colors meld together exactly the way I need them to. I have found that the makeup in other cream based bruise wheels and bruise stacks seems to be much firmer and harder, making it harder to apply and blend. Mehron Bruise Wheel has been my go-to bruise simulation makeup for nearly a decade.

Easy product to use. Have even used it on other looks besides bruises.

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.)

The item arrived quick and just like described. I think the wheel itself worked well for my purposes. The makeup itself could be a little on the thick side trying to apply it and not smoothing out well but using a makeup sponge that was slightly damp helped to smooth it on better and thin it out. It was fun the layer up and mix the colors to get that authentic *dead* look. I pretty much used all of the colors in the wheel along with some eye shadows I already had. The green, yellow and a gray I had from something else mixed up well and was able to be layered to give his skin that icky dead look. The black along with my shadows was perfect for around the eyes. I also mixed some of these with some white clown makeup by Mehron to tone them down in certain areas. The red color was perfect for adding a bit around his mouth where we were going to apply the blood to help boost that bloody look effect. There is PLENTY of product in the wheel which was great because we did a trial run the day before and didnt have to worry about using it up. Everything washed off easily too. I would completely recommend this product.
