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

I’ve been using Mehron’s makeup on people for costumes since 1995! Still the best when it comes to theatrical applications or Halloween costumes. Simply the best.

The colors were great for the bruise affect but the makeup itself seemed cheap only bc it kept flaking, therefore could easily look “fake”.

Bought for a Halloween costume; needed to approximate disfigured skin. So far, I have only managed to make myself look like a burn victim, but thats my shortcoming rather than the make-ups. Will continue practicing. Would recommend, especially for the price. Container is a decent size and a little goes a surprisingly long way.

Im no pro, just like zombies and Halloween, but I love this stuff and will never go back to the horrible stuff you get at Halloween stores.

This stuff is fun. Super easy to use even for a beginner like me. Right out of the box I had a cool looking bruise just playing around with the different colors. There is also directions to help you out. Planning on using this for some zombie makeup.

I felt like it worked really well for our zombie faces. I watched a few tutorials to help me out because I am no makeup artist. But it did what it was supposed to and did NOT feel to heavy or thick. It also didnt completely dry out my skin nor cause me to break out. Washed of easily with my regular face wash.

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.

A fantastic purchase. I paired it with Mehron stage blood and the entire family looked like we had been in a car accident. Scared the pants off people in New Orleans, and didn’t sweat off. Barely budged in the rain—infact—made it look more realistic than it already did. Washes off incredibly easily. I’ve even paired this with the cherry red eyeshadows that are trending right now, and came out aces every time. Big win.

I used this all the time when I make fake scars for fun. I really enjoy the product and it’s easy to use! Totally recommend for a beginner.

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.
