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

This bruise wheel is amazing and for the price,Im not sorry that I bought this one, instead of the one I really wanted(Ben Nye Master Bruise Wheel). This comes with one less color than the bruise wheels from other brands (Graftobian and Ben Nye) BUT I can get the same results.

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.

Used car wax underneath the bruise palette but the colors made it look so realistic. Awesome product! would buy again!

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

Great bruise wheel. Its just as good as the more expensive brands available. Highly recommended. This is part of my face painting kit and comes out mostly at Halloween, but also for little boys who want to look like zombies or generally gross. Photo included of a black eye done with this bruise wheel during Halloween. Used a latex sponge and a little bit of water to get it going. It really creeped my mom out!

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’ve used Mehron products for halloween makeup before, and I really do like this brand. I used this bruise kit for a halloween costume this year, and I love it!! I had prosthetic cut-off horns on my forehead and wanted it to look more real like they were actually protruding from my head. The colors blend so easily onto natural skin and liquid latex! I used a porous sponge that I tore up and just lightly stippled various colors around the horns. I started with yellow, then added a little tiny bit of green, then used the red and brown color mixed together and topped it off with a little stage blood. It lasted all night!!

Works on making yourself look like a zombie.

I love this product I used it for cosplay and was very impressed with the results the creaminess of the makeup is exactly what I needed to use it came on time was not damaged and would definitely buy these types of products again

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.
