Special FX
Preps, Barriers, Sealers, Removers
Preps, barriers, sealers and removers are the products that go on before and after your artwork. Preps and barriers help colour and adhesives sit evenly on the skin, sealers and setting sprays help designs last longer, and removers gently take off spirit gum, latex and heavy special effects makeup. Using the right products at both ends makes your work look better and removal much easier.

About Preps, Barriers, Sealers, Removers
Why prep the skin before SFX makeup?
A prepped, barrier-coated surface helps colour sit evenly and makes removal easier at the end of the night. Halloween falls in spring here and parties run warm, so a seal over your finished look matters. The Micolor Primer & Setting Spray Set gives you a primer and a setting spray in one pack.
How do you remove spirit gum and heavy makeup?
Use a proper remover rather than scrubbing. Heart Face Art SFX Spirit Gum Remover 30ml loosens adhesive so prosthetics and pieces lift off gently. Apply it with a cotton pad, give it a moment to work, then peel back slowly. Heart Face Art is our own brand and earns double Paint Points.
What should you pair with preps and sealers?
Sealing works best on top of a well built look. Pair your prep with liquid latex and scar wax for raised effects, and theatrical makeup for colour. Add spirit gum and SFX accessories if you are attaching pieces. Finish by sealing the whole look, then test it before the event.
