About SFX Palettes
How do you paint a realistic bruise?
Blend purple, yellow and green around the eye sockets, temples or jaw, and a flat design suddenly looks injured. The Mehron Bruise Palette Wheel is the professional standard, while the Heart Face Art SFX Bruise Palette Wheel is the shop own brand option and earns double Paint Points. Build colour in thin layers and keep edges soft.
Can you cover a tattoo for stage or film?
Yes. The Mehron Tattoo Covering Palette Wheel is made for concealing tattoos under a costume or for stage and film work. Dab it on with a sponge, building coverage gradually, then set the look as needed. Test it on a small patch first so you know how many layers your skin tone needs.
What tools and extras help?
Use a stipple sponge rather than a brush for mottled, realistic skin. You can find one in SFX accessories. Palettes work brilliantly with fake blood and liquid latex, and cream palettes from Grimas add more colour range. A small detail brush also helps you add fine veins, cracks and shadows once the main colour is down and set.
