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

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.

It’s good just a little hard to figure out what colors to mix together

I used this for a Goku cosplay, and everyone who knew DBZ loved it. Those that didn’t understand the cosplay thought the bruises were real. Two thumbs up!

Only one color I wish they would add is a purple to get the perfect desired effect. The makeup last decently with a setting powder. Make sure to apply over a matte primer first. Its worth the money.

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.

I LoVE this bruise wheel!!! I have a photo shoot coming up for physical abuse, and the first time I ever used something like this and I rocked it! So easy to use and the colors are great!

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.

Im just beginning to dabble in special effects makeup and this was perfect. Never disappointed with Mehron,

Just 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.

I wanted to try my hand at gore makeup for Halloween. I had never tried it before, but I ordered this hoping it would be good. It was more than good!! I mostly just used the red color and by dabbing just a tiny bit of product into the skin and cosmetic wax. Turned out incredible.
