Review: Great palette - works great - and worth the price. the company video says you can’t use less than 99% iso alc to activate/remove but i used 99% and 71% and it was the same honestly. it is completely transfer proof when dry. if you’re looking to make it opaque, let the alcohol sit in the pan for a bit until the top layer looks creamy - it will feel a bit heavier on the skin but works great and still doesn’t transfer. it doesn’t dry as quickly as you’d think it would (for mixing colors) - once it’s on the skin, it will dry pretty quick! using for halloween on my hands - and for tattoo cover ups!
Review: High quality low price! - I've wanted an alcohol activated makeup palette for years but didn't want to spend the $100 for a skin illustrator one not knowing what I would really even use it for lol. I came across this one and decided to give it a try. I am NOT disappointed! Price was great and the quality is much better than I expected. It recommends 99% alcohol to activate but I missed the UPS guy with my order and so I tried it with 91% which is easily accessible from any pharmacy and it works perfectly with it (I don't know if there are any negative effects to the makeup over time but I can't imagine there would be). This stuff is truly water resistant.. Hell it's even SOAP and water resistant lol (I just wanted to test how easily it would come off). Alcohol takes it right back off like magic (alcohol can be very drying to the skin so you may want to follow removal with some lotion). If you're looking to try out some Alcohol activated makeup then I highly recommend you start here to get a feel for them! Would definitely repurchase!

## Features

- 12 WATERPROOF ALCOHOL-ACTIVATED COLORS: Prime Red, Prime Green, Prime Blue, Prime Black, Prime White, Prime Yellow, Purple, Rust Orange, Mauve, Bruise Tone, Fresh Blood, and Aged Blood. Use these highly pigmented colors to create realistic wounds, bruises, burns, cuts, scrapes, scabs, and SFX injury effects for film, stage, Halloween, cosplay, and haunted house productions. Once activated and dried, the makeup is completely waterproof, sweat-proof, and transfer-proof.
- COLORS LOOK DRY — THIS IS NORMAL: The pans will appear dry, cracked, or partially full when you open the palette. This does NOT mean the product is used, expired, or defective — this is how all alcohol-activated makeup looks before activation. Add 2–3 drops of 99% isopropyl alcohol directly into each pan, let it soak for several seconds until the surface looks creamy, then apply with a brush or sponge. Each pan contains highly concentrated pigment that lasts for dozens of applications.
- HOW TO GET THE BEST RESULTS: Let the alcohol fully saturate the pan before applying — rushing this step is the #1 mistake beginners make. Start with a thin layer and build opacity gradually. For mixing colors on skin, work quickly before the first layer dries. Once dry on skin, the color locks in and won't budge. For maximum vibrancy on darker skin tones, apply a white base layer first, then layer your colors on top.
- PROFESSIONAL SFX PALETTE FOR FILM, STAGE & COSPLAY: Used by haunted trail actors, cosplayers, film students, and SFX artists. Create realistic bruises at every healing stage, open wounds, zombie rot, burn effects, alien characters, and creature makeup. A little goes a long way — one palette can last years of regular use. Works on skin and over prosthetics, liquid latex, and scar wax. Pair with NC Scar Wax for raised wounds or NC Flesh Tone palettes for skin-matching.
- REMOVAL & CARE: Remove with 99% isopropyl alcohol, isopropyl myristate (gentler for sensitive skin), or NC Alcohol-Free Makeup Remover. Do NOT try to remove with just water — alcohol-activated makeup requires an alcohol-based or oil-based remover. Cruelty-free and vegetarian. Store palette closed when not in use. If colors dry out between sessions, simply add a few drops of alcohol to rehydrate — they'll perform like new.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You could use for your whole face but don't actually do it
*by C***R on December 1, 2020*

I used this for all over my face I wouldn't recommend doing that but hey live and learn. I would definitely recommend this if you're looking for something thats gonna last, it did not stain my skin at all though it was kind hard to take off, I had to use a lot of the remover along with my makeup remover, I had to wash my face three times (mind you this was not a simple design on my face, and I was a couple of layers) my makeup lasted longer than 8hours and that was with a mask on! The only part that was kinda rubbing off was the black on the very tip of my nose. There's enough to cover your whole face multiple times but I don't recommend doing that, its okay for sensitive skin though the remover irritated my skin a little.
