Mehron Makeup Liquid Makeup - GREEN, Face & Body Paint

Worked great! Little bit goes a long way. My partner and I painted ourselves green (face, neck, arms, legs) and still had plenty left over from the one bottle. We dusted on baby powder afterwards to prevent transfer which helped but some clothes picked up the makeup or rubbed it off into like a dust. The transfer easily washed out of my clothes - even a white cotton blouse! I highly recommend applying it with a makeup brush, especially for large areas. It layers well if you need to go darker but will be much more likely to crack if you do this. One thick initial layer applied with a brush worked best! Safe around eyes and mouth and on hands. My partner has very sensitive skin and eczema but the makeup didn’t bother his skin at all! BEWARE: It mildly stains your skin. We had a green tint the day after, even after a thorough scrub in the shower - so definitely do it on a Friday or Saturday if you don’t want your Monday coworkers to question your skin color! It otherwise comes off very easily with just water and rubbing. The less layers you do the less staining there will be! We had significantly less staining than our friend (pictured, laying on ground) who used a makeup pot. Also pictured, the end of the day how my makeup was (left) and my partner with minimal skin staining after he very quickly rinsed off in a bar bathroom (right).

I was hesitant to get this because the last time I bought this in pink, my friend struggled to get the pink residue off all the way. I bought the gray this time and it worked great. It covers every mark and is a solid gray color across. If still wet, you can add more, but once it's dry, adding more can take some of it off instead (like most paints work). You'll need more layers on joints and places that get touched a lot, I think I ended up with three layers on the hands, one layer on the arms, and I did a second layer on top of the scar makeup so it matched the skin better, you can see the makeup underneath. I did make-up on top as scars and when I washed it off, the makeup had stuck to my arm somehow (it's waterproof), but the paint itself came off completely and didn't dye the skin at all. It didn't stick to the counter or sink either. It's a lighter grey when wet, darker once it dries. I tested it on the arm and face and it was the same for both. Other face paints wash off with it, just the waterproof makeup stayed on. I used liquid glue on the nails to be easier to get off just in case, but I might do the surrounding skin too, it's slightly difficult to get out of the tiny crevices there.

Best when applied with a brush, it comes out less patchy. When it’s dry it can crack up a bit, just make sure you use primer and your skin is moisturized. Comes off very easy with water, no staining on clothes, skin, makeup brushes, but that also means you can’t get it wet. Not to wash your hands, grab a drink, sneeze, anything. It also rubs off on things you touch sometimes. My daughters dress became pink with green spots. Overall I think these issues are stuff that can be fixed with setting powder, spirit gum, primer, etc.. if you’re willing to put some thought into it, this product can be great for you.

I love this product!! There are some pros and cons but I'm overall very satisfied with this purchase. I bought this face/body paint to cosplay Starfire. I researched that mehron was a great product to use for body paint. It shipped fairly fast and it did have a sticker on the front that was removed, but that's okay. I tested out the paint just to see how it react to my skin or if it would stain it. This is where I ran into pros and cons. Pro- this product is super easy to apply and easily spreadable to cover large portions. The color at first is more opaque but you can easily apply multiple layers to get a brighter hue. I used baby powder to seal the paint so it would rub off on my costume or other items. Also it's super easy to remove, just as easy as soap and warm water. Con- the paint comes off very easily with water. What I mean is that if your attending a con during the summer or for a shoot, this paint could easily run off because of sweat. When I applied the baby powder, the paint was perfect no flaws. But as soon as any water touches the paint, the paint reactive and can rub off onto your costume or anything around you. Also I've researched that darker colors in the liquid body paint can stain your skin. I've heard that blues are very notorious for this. So definitely do a test patch first. But dont let the cons differ you away. This is a great product!! I'm very happy with my purchase. Just remember that different paints work for different situations.

I chose this product because I was hoping it would help me achieve the drippy black goo effect that I needed for this costume, but was never able to wear or possibly apply it correctly. The first image is from my initial make-up test. I applied it very thickly and without a ton of care. You can see it already started to flake and this was literally just me applying the paint and then taking selfies in my bathroom, so not a ton of wear. I assumed it was because I had applied it too thickly perhaps, and made notes for next time. The second pic is the first convention that I wore this to. I took more care when applying it to my face and had primer on underneath, but it still started to flake. The goo on my neck and arms was achieved by just pouring the paint over my neck and limbs in the bathtub and letting it drip down my arms naturally. I sealed it with a pretty expensive Kryolan fixing spray and thought that would help, but it was still VERY flaky and I was that cliché body paint rookie mess that you don't want near your costume or your artwork at the con, haha. The third pic is from a second con, on my way home. I had applied it more thinly and used a brush to paint on all the drippy shapes, but it still flaked as much as it did at the first con. I used Sephora primer and the Kryolan fixing spray on my face, but only the body paint and fixing spray on my arms. I'm out of ideas to salvage this and am now searching for a different body paint product to use for my next wear in a few weeks. I will note that some other reviews mentioned they had better luck with this product if they mixed it with their regular make-up foundation or a body lotion, but I wouldn't be able to do that for this costume because 1) I need the color to be as pure, dark, and opaque a black as possible, and foundation would dilute both the color and texture. 2) This isn't an all-over application, so I can't just rub it on. I'm acknowledging these two points because this might be specific to my costume needs and the black color, which is why I still gave the product 3 stars even though it didn't work for me. That said, I'm not sure it would be possible to still get the coverage needed if someone was buying the black paint for an all-over application by mixing it with lotion and applying it thinly. In the first pic, the initial make-up test, you can see that I applied it very thinly around my eyes, and as a result it's much more sheer. This is something that I imagine would be less important if you were trying to paint yourself into a green troll or a red devil or something and still wanted some natural gradation in that color (eg., lighter on your cheekbones, perhaps). So if you're not looking to be completely pitch-black and are okay with some sheerness, it might be okay. It also didn't stain my skin and was fairly easy to remove (though I did go through a ton of wipes in the process), which is notable for such a thick and heavily pigmented black. It didn't stain my tub, either, though it did stain the plastic shower curtain liner.

Never used body paint before, and I'm sure there was a better way to apply it than "slather it on like sunscreen." But that's what we did, and we were able to quickly and easily cover everything up. The stuff dried fast, and for about 3-4 hours was just fine-- didn't come off to the touch, didn't rub off in normal usage. As the night wore on, the stuff started to shed and flake. After 6 hours, it was bad enough that the person holding the party reports they're still finding residue. Throwing on a sweatshirt for a 30-minute drive home was enough to rub almost 75% of the paint from my torso. Virtually all of this came off in the shower just by standing under the water, and a simple shampoo and washcloth got all the rest. If you've no idea what you're doing, and just want a fast way to paint up, this stuff will get the job done without leaving you a weird color for a week. Just be aware that it's got a limited shelf life, and any contact with water will cause it to start coming off.

Exceeded my expectations. For years, I’ve been struggling to find the right shade of foundation. This has worked perfectly mixing it with my current base makeup. I have a yellow undertone, so this works perfectly for me.! The only suggestion I’d have for the company is to make it with a controlled spout. The consistency is thinner so it does come out out of this about fast. I suggest using a very little drop and mixing it in the palm of your hand with your base makeup. After I got the first coat on, it did look a bit yellow because I put too much in, but all I did was buff it out with a little bit of my top color foundation. Perfection.!!! This bottle will ask me a very long while.

I was so excited to get this green liquid makeup in the mail and create an incredible look for my event. It was ok at best. This makeup is more like poster paint than makeup. Goes on great but then starts to crack once dry while wearing. It is very hard to apply evenly. Looks ok from far away but horrible close up. When I got hot my sweat made it look like I was bleeding green however it 5 washes to get it off!

Excelente producto definitivamente lo vuelvo a comprar

Nice strong color, went through the airbrush well, felt very light on the skin. Wish they had a color pqck instead of buying individually though

I use it to change my beard colour all the time! Its the best kept secret around! Washes out quick and immediately ready for a new Mehron colour.

Great coverage
