Mehron Makeup Paradise Makeup AQ Pro Size | Stage & Screen Performance, Face & Body Painting, Beauty, Cosplay, and Halloween | Water Activated Face Paint, Body Paint 1.4 oz (40 g) – White

The best Halloween makeup i have ever used stays for a long time and doesn’t irritate your skin after.

The product that I received was actually authentic Mehron and quite opaque when applied using a dense, damp Real Techniques foundation brush. At the end, I used a slightly damp makeup sponge with a tiny bit of product for a final pass to erase a few brush strokes (reached ~99% opacity), then set with Ben Nye pigmented clown white powder (which made it 100% opaque) all over the face except for the mouth area, which I set with Mehron neutral powder where my partner applied red over some scar wax and liquid latex for their Halloween costume. We're both novices w/ FX & cosplay makeup, but it turned out awesome and didn't budge. They were able to wash off the face paint with only water and facewash.I bought this to use for a Halloween costume for myself that I didn't end up using it for, but I've played around with it to test it for future use in cosplay, mixing it with Mehron's purple in the same formula to make a lavender that I applied to my arms and face before setting w/ Mehron powder and a random setting spray. I used a cleansing balm followed by warm water on a microfiber towel to remove the paint from my face, so it was fully removed before getting in the shower. It came off using just water & gentle bodywash on my arms. The removal process was very easy, and I was very pleased with our results

Omg. Was about to kill me with how horribly it was applying with a beauty blender. I switched to my IL MAKIAGE foundation brush (which is dense) and it went on like a dream. Wore it to a Chappell Roan concert and it held up incredibly, considering all I did was a light powder and a light set. Never done drag or dramatic face like this before and it was great to use. Good to blend the eyeshadow contours into, too.Enjoy the 0.5pic of me to see how it looks up close in my pores after a few hours in the heat.TIPS: Use a foundation brush and not a sponge. Prime your face w primer. Keep your layers consistent and move fast. You can apply lightly but it’s harder than heavy.It came off the most on my upper lip (and I don’t even sweat much) so powder the heck out of it especially around your mouth.

My friends and I have used this a few times. The consensus seems to be: it's not as easy to apply as StarBlend, but it's not bad. Totally workable if StarBlend isn't available. If you're switching from one to the other, leave extra time to practice, because they don't go on exactly the same.

I love this brand of face paint makeup. This is the only one I will order and use. The coverage is amazing. Especially with white, it’s full coverage and dries quickly. It’s super easy clean up and easy to take off.

For Halloween this year I decided to do a female version of Ghost Rider. I was a bit panicked about the face paint because I have extremely sensitive skin. A face painter I know suggested Mehron paradise makeup so I purchased the black and white. I also purchased a set of paintbrushes, disposable makeup sponges and NYX setting spray. I practiced twice before the party, which worked out great. The first time, the makeup didn’t bother my skin except for when I tried to take it off. The rubbing caused my skin to sting for the rest of the day. Someone suggested using coconut oil so I did that the next time and had no issues with irritating my skin. The coverage is great but with white especially just be patient and carefully layer it. This was the first time I’ve ever done face paint and as you see from the photo, it came out great. Took about an hour to apply, then used the setting spray. It stayed put the entire time we were at the party - 5 hours of dancing and eating. I did use a straw for drinking so I wouldn’t mess up the makeup on my lips. Overall I was incredibly happy with this purchase and feel it was 100% worth it to spend a little more and get something that wouldn’t irritate my skin. Highly recommended!

After researching and testing three different types of water-activated white makeup, I will say that while this one was decent, it was my least favorite. It is very easy to use and blends really well, which is a big plus. It would be really nice to use around the edges of a less blendable product like the Wolfe FX white. However, upon using multiple layers of this product, I noticed that it was much less opaque than the others that I tested. As you can see in my photo, my hand tattoos are still quite visible, although if you don’t have tattoos it would obviously not be much of an issue. I tested this makeup for over ten hours, and while it held up surprisingly well, I did notice some transfer onto my clothing, even after using Mehron’s barrier spray. Overall, this is a decent product, but I would not buy it again. I would instead recommend Wolfe FX brand.

The media could not be loaded. Purchased this makeup for Halloween. We did a family themed skeleton crew. We walked outside in humid 80+ degree weather and it didn’t smudge or run. Looked great! Held up well while hot and sweaty.
