SFX Palettes

A bruise wheel is the fastest way to make a face look genuinely unwell — and it is the single product most beginners forget. Blend purple, yellow and green around the eye sockets, temples and jaw, and a flat painted face suddenly looks sick, injured or dead.

We stock the Mehron Bruise Palette Wheel (the professional standard) and the Heart Face Art SFX Bruise Palette Wheel (outstanding value), plus the Mehron Tattoo Covering Palette Wheel for concealing tattoos under a costume or for film and stage work.

Use a stipple sponge rather than a brush for mottled, realistic skin. Works brilliantly alongside fake blood and liquid latex.

For bruising built from scratch rather than from a wheel, Grimas Crème Make-up Pure Palette B gives you twelve oil-based colours including the blues, reds and greys a convincing bruise actually needs. See the full Grimas range.
