Mehron Makeup CreamBlend Stick - LIGHT 2, Cream Foundation

I went to the Shrek Rave last night and the first pic is is after the rave, and the second pic is before the rave! It looks literally the same as before, and I was sweating and dancing so much! Application: The lighting is a but different in the photos, but you can really tell it didn’t smudge or drip away, but of course I had to bake and seal my makeup. The application was so easy, you just glide the stick on and then blend with either a brush or sponge. I found a brush was good for the base coat, and then a sponge was great for the contour and little details. I was surprised at how much product was still left over by the time I was done. A little goes a long way with this stuff, and this is green so I can only imagine a more pigmented color such as dark blue or a nice red would just glide over the skin. I did have to apply two coats but that’s because I didn’t put enough on the first time… I was feeling a little nervous haha. Regardless, it was super easy, took me like an hour to get ready to leave. Some other oil paints are a pain to even apply evenly, but this stuff is literally like magic. Seriously. A big fluffy blending brush is all you need to make yourself look airbrushed and fantastical. Clean up: I would say it’s very easy to wash off, and so far I haven’t had any issues with it staining and I use white face towels! My skin didn’t stain, and I was especially worried about SMEARING. I usually encounter a problem with smearing while cleaning off oil based paint, but this stuff came right off with some warm soapy water. However, I want to mention I am a SWEATER!! I literally sweat like I am damp from jumping in the pool with all my clothes on, and yet this paint still lasted me almost SIX FREAKING HOURS!!!! HOLY COW Y’ALL!! Side Note: I have extremely sensitive skin and I was worried this would irritate me, because some other popular brand name oil based paints usually bother me extremely, but Mehron does not bother me one bit. No itching, dry skin, burning eyes… no watery eye boogers, no acne flare up, nothing!! Mehron even offers a sensitive skin option but I don’t feel the need to opt for that since their original formula is already so gentle, yet long lasting and resistant. Overall: Amazing and excellent pick if you’re wanting an oil based body paint. Incredible application, looks brilliant and the color is fantastic, and the clean up was delightful. I can not wait to get more colors and do more fun looks. I am relatively new to cosplay makeup, but this is a product for beginners AND professionals! Anyone can use it and make it look good with just a little bit of know-how. Thank you Mehron for making such a valuable product!

Used for troll cosplay! I was sollux and my buddy was terezi. Tldr; The coverage was great, the staying power was great, the price is awesome. I absolutely recommend this! For the nitty-gritty: We applied this after using an elf primer, and used nyx setting powder, and the urban decays all nighter setting spray. PLEASE seal it!! This is a cool grey, with a lot of blue in it. If you are cosplaying as a warm-blooded troll you will have to mess around with color theory to make it work. As sollux I added some orange to my cheeks as well, because the yellow alone looked like tennis ball green over this grey. It took a couple coats of makeup to ensure full coverage, at least 2, but I think realistically, 3. We then used black eyeshadow for contour, and white mehron for highlight, over the grey. The mehron grey and white were both applied via sponges, all other makeup was done via brush or finger. It was easy to blend the eyeshadow into the grey for a natural-looking face. We also used eyeshadow for the blush, and that worked well. I suggest using a powder over the eyelid, especially if you have deep set eyes like me. We used grey and THEN applied any color over that. And lots of primer. We both had to wear glasses, and throughout the con I took off my glasses and put them on many times in order to see well and give my eyes a break, and the makeup only removed a little bit. I am not a sweaty person so this helped. My glasses did not have nose-pads. My friend had nose-pads and sweats more and she lost a lot more makeup in that area. She also had a little bit of a sheen of skin my lunch time around her cheek, but it was easy to touch up.

I didn't have time to remix my Mehron Paradise cakes for this convention, so I wanted to get a face paint that actually came in light grey for my Homestuck/Hiveswap cosplays. It's a positive-leaning mixed bag, so I'll break it down. My routine for just the paint is primer, paint, set with powder, and spray with Ben Nye Final Seal. PROS: - Application: Given its format as a foundation stick, it goes on a thousand times easier than any water based cake. No accidentally wiping off the layer below, no streaks, incredibly blendable. One layer is usually good. Sometimes you can see through it but it's very easy to just set the paint and then add a little more on top. - Touch-Ups: Because it never fully dries down, if you need to touch up, it's super easy. For both these cosplays, I had glasses, which meant in those spots on my nose it rubbed off. It was really easy to just take a brush to the stick and fill in those little gaps. - Blending: Very easy considering what we're working with. It's better to tap/dab things on than to wipe because, as it does not dry down, you can wipe off the paint by rubbing at it too much. The brushes I used for my eyes and contour did get a little grey while i was applying the makeup, but they all cleaned up fine with a little brush cleaner from elf. I also think that having that little bit of grey on the brush helped blend everything better. CONS: - It never fully dries down. This is why I said beware. This is NOT something you should put on parts of your body that aren't your head or your neck. You WILL leave cream paint on everything you love. If your paint makes contact with clothing, it WILL leave spots on it. You can scrub at these with a makeup wipe sometimes and that helps if it's fresh. I haven't done a full thorough scrub on the makeup brush I used to apply this paint, but so far my attempts have been pretty futile. This also means that you can see skin spots on your eyelids if you blink sometimes. - Removal: I've found it's a bit more difficult than water-based face paints. With them it's a pretty quick scrub with my cleanser and I have almost all of it off. With this cream, it takes about 5-10 minutes of scrubbing with cleanser to get a good amount off, then you have to go back and scrub with a makeup wipe. This can't be removed with just water. Overall I will definitely use this up - it's a good paint. But I may look into alternatives for the future, maybe something that sets a little better.

This is amazing for costumes, it doesn’t make my skin feel thick, it has a weight like a regular foundation. I should’ve gotten the mehron setting powder because it does transfer (as expected) and it will collect in areas (my neck primarily). The coverage is great, I didn’t have to do any extra passes and the consistency is kinda like lipstick but feels light on the skin. It came off pretty easy with my ELF makeup remover balm but it will stain your skin a bit, I had a pink tint to my skin after removing it (that’s expected it’s bright red) but using witch hazel and cotton pads helped take the leftover tint off!

This black makeup cream stick worked perfectly for my Halloween look! The formula is smooth, easy to apply, and super buildable — I could layer it for deep color or blend it out for softer shading. It stayed in place all night once I set it with translucent powder, no smudging or fading. It’s also great for quick touch-ups and detail work since it glides on evenly. Definitely a solid choice for costume makeup or creative looks that need strong color and staying power! Keep in mind these pictures are from two different nights after hours of wear.

This facepaint is a good temporary replacement for when you run out of more better quailty facepaint but there's a lot of issues, it's harder to apply and takes a very long time to dry, when you think you've waited enough time, around 20 minutes, and go to apply another layer, it's not ready and comes right off, if there's even a slight drop more than it needs when adding another layer of the paint, the original, dry layer becomes wet and comes right off, not great when you're walking to an convention for even 5 minutes and break out in sweat. It is very easy to wash off at least and it doesn't feel patchy or itchy, nor does it make you break out.

Definitely recommend this for any beginners! No skin irritation so far on my end but I would highly suggest pairing this with the Mehron Setting Spray and Powder so it completely stays on your face/doesn’t stain or smear off like foundation! And it’s full coverage too! I recently wore this to a convention and it was amazing.

I grabbed the Mehron CreamBlend Stick in black for Halloween looks, and it blew me away. It’s super pigmented—true, inky black with no gray cast—and the texture is creamy without feeling greasy. It glides on smoothly, blends like a dream with a sponge or brush, and builds from opaque lines to soft, smoked-out shading with zero patchiness. Set it with translucent powder (or a sealer) and it holds up beautifully under hot lights and long nights. It’s fantastic for face and body: skulls, graphic liner, blackout lips, SFX shading, you name it. Removal is easy with an oil-based cleanser—no endless scrubbing or staining.

Im so impressed with this, its pigmented but also buttery smooth and hydrating, easy to blend, sets nicely with translucent powder, buildable in layers and best of all it feels like and smells like absolutely nothing which is such a sensory relief, will definitely be recommending this to friends!

Very potent color, easy to apply, quite easy to erase! Amazed by this brand!

Colore molto tenue e facile da applicare, ha tenuto tutto il giorno (con sopra cipria trasparente e lacca)

Le doy una estrella porque el color es fiel a la descripción y por la pigmentación, pero no dura la hora y además transfiere muchísimo, ni seco transfiere menos. Eso sí, como marca genial. Para sellarlo hace falta polvo translúcido, fijador y luego otra vez polvo translúcido y fijador.

Pratique.bonne couvrance.Facile à appliquer car gras.Mettre de la poudre pour fixer maquillage par dessus..Tient toute la journée.
