Halloween Special Effects Makeup Kit

Bruises, grazes and fresh blood convince when the texture is right. This kit gathers the pieces that do the work: scar wax to build raised skin, coagulated blood gel for a wet, freshly beaded finish, and liquid latex to stretch and seal edges before color goes on.

The six-color palette sweeps on with a sponge or triangle puff. Blend violet and grey-green around cheekbones, eyes and neck to suggest a fading bruise, or deepen the hollows for skeleton makeup. Layers build without turning muddy, so a faint shadow and a full theatrical face sit within the same compact set.

At 154g the kit travels well to a party, a shoot or a costume fitting. It works for a first attempt at a bruise as much as for a detailed character look, and the palette colors cover latex and wax so edges disappear into the skin.

Removal is simple: makeup remover or gentle soapy water lifts the color and the wax until the skin is clean.
