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 Mehron’s. 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 attractively, 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.

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.

This makeup wheel worked perfectly for creating a black eye as well as other bruises and scrapes. It was easy to apply and blended well. Although it’s a grease makeup, it definitely does not feel *greasy* on your skin! (I used to work in a Halloween store where we’d use those really cheap grease “cream” makeups that ran really badly, so I wasn’t sure about this initially.) I watched a tutorial on Youtube and the girl utilized the Ben Nye bruise wheel, which has one additional color (looks like a dark blue) but is more than twice the cost. I felt this worked really well and was really great quality, and I didn’t need to spend the extra $20 to get it. I would recommend using a setting powder and setting spray to keep the effects from running or getting smudged if you touch them. The makeup did fade a bit by the end of the day, but I was also outside for a large portion of the day in 80-degree weather, so I was surprised it lasted as long as it did! I would use FX makeup wheels by this brand again!

The product is nice 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 it’s 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 wasn’t what I was expected but that’s partly my fault.

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 LOVE THIS. Love this. As far as FX makeup goes, with everything I’ve 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 doesn’t 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*, it’s 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 wouldn’t 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 don’t like so much (or ones for FX use.)All in all, great product. Would totally buy this again. (And hey, I might, next Halloween.)

There were a bunch of pallets on amazon that looked just like this one. However this was the one with the most positive reviews so i figured i’d give it a try. Well, in my mind i assumed it would be similar to face paint and be quite difficult to blend out. However, i was surprisingly happy to see that the colors are highly pigmented, and go on really well. They also blend really well so you can create realistic looking bruises. The colors are also all pretty nice for bruises! My favorite color was the green, because it gave off this gnarly zombie-bruise look. Definitely a must have for anyone looking to do some special FX makeup!

Mehron for the win. Love this makeup.-Great pigment-Nice and bright. Perfect one brush strokes for designs.-Long lasting-Lasts longer on your face and I get way more use out of this one palette. Other paints run out while this is the gift that keeps on giving.-Best all around-Great for sensitive skin.Doesn’t stain.Easy to clean up.Need I say more?Definitely recommend this to anyone looking to give a professional touch to your body and face painting.

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!!

I purchased this for my 12 year old daughter along with Liquid Latex. She wanted to learn how to make “scars” for halloween and this, along with the latex is what she wanted to begin creating scars with. She watched some videos in how to begin. She tried this product for the first time and seems happy with it although now said she needs to get fake looking blood now. The shipping was as expected and arrived on day it was supposed to.
