Mehron Makeup Paradise AQ - RED, Water-Activated Face & Body Paint

This creme body paint is fantastic especially for longer-wear use, like cosplay! We got the Amazon Green shade for an Elphaba costume and it was absolute perfection. It gives SOLID coverage in one or two coats without feeling cakey, and the color was just super vibrant and easy to blend. It also melts off like butter when it's time to take it off, no staining (at least for this shade and some of the others we've tried). We’re big fans of Mehron in general, their quality is always great, so this wasn't particularly surprising for us, but even still. Easy to apply, great pigmentation, and long-lasting. Highly recommend this if you’re looking for reliable, vibrant body paint!

When it comes to makeup that's going to withstand the rigors of a high-energy, sweaty event, your options are generally limited. We're talking about an environment that's the ultimate stress test for any cosmetic product, demanding resilience, longevity, and a no-smudge formula. Ladies and gentlemen, in the cacophonous realm of cosmetics, Mehron Makeup Paradise has emerged as an unassailable leader. Let's address the longevity. At a roller derby do, a cacophony of high-speed action, tightly packed bodies, and soaring temperatures, I put this product through its paces. Despite the humidity and the inevitable sweat, not once did I find myself with smudged or faded makeup. The color stayed as vibrant and well-defined at the end of the night as it was at the beginning. Application was a dream. Many products that promise long-lasting coverage often sacrifice ease of application, requiring professional skills to get it just right. The makeup glided smoothly over the skin, providing excellent coverage in a single swipe. There was no need for reapplication or touch-ups, which is often a tedious necessity with lesser brands. One of the most significant marks of a high-quality makeup product is the finish. Cheap products often betray their inferiority by caking or clumping. This formula offers a smooth finish that looks as good up close as it does from a distance. Whether you're across the roller derby rink or taking a selfie, the makeup retains its impeccable appearance. Another feature that cannot go unmentioned is the ease of removal. A makeup that stays on well but requires an industrial solvent to remove can be a deal-breaker. Luckily it excels in this regard as well. Despite its durable formula, the makeup came off effortlessly with cleanser, negating the need for any harsh scrubbing that could irritate the skin. It truly astounded me with its performance. From its superb longevity to its simple application and removal, this product ticks all the boxes for what one would want in a high-endurance makeup. Sorry for the terrible photo, it was the only photo I could find. I used light blue and was Monster High Roller Maze - Lagoona Blue.

This paint is amazing. It goes on extremely easily and makes it simple to get smooth, even coverage without having to fight with the product. It works especially well for covering larger areas quickly. The color applies evenly, builds nicely, and holds up well even with sweat or a little water. I was also impressed that it applied well over areas with some hair, such as unshaved arms, without looking patchy. If you need face or body paint that gives solid coverage, applies smoothly, and stays put better than cheaper options, this is absolutely the way to go. Overall, I am very happy with it and would buy it again.

This stuff was incredible. You can get a lighter or darker coverage depending on how much water you add and how many coats you use. You can absolutely get a better, less patchy look than mine if you do a couple coats. I used round and flat foundation brush and found that it was much easier than a beauty blender. I painted almost my entire body and there is still plenty left. Fortunately, it comes off very easily with water and soap. Also unfortunately, it comes off very easily when in contact with any liquid. I wore my costume out to a few bars for Halloween and had to be very careful when drinking, because if I got anything on my face it would take the paint right off. But by being very careful not to get anything on me, the paint lasted all night! And, when I got home, all it took was a shower and the tiniest bit of scrubbing for everything to come right off. I used a NYX setting spray on my face and body, but sat on a towel in cars/on upholstered chairs because although it didn't look like paint was being rubbed off from my legs to the chairs, I was definitely leaving some color behind. I'm only giving four stars because of how easily water takes it off. This would be a perfect product though if that's not an issue for you!

I purchased the Light Blue (main color) and Metallic Blue shades. I ended up not using the Metallic Blue, but the Light Blue was absolutely perfect for my retro alien look for Halloween ‘25. This brand is the only one I use every year, and I honestly turn my nose up at anything else. I applied it with minimal water using a foundation brush, letting each layer dry before adding another (a minute or so?) I experienced no irritation, no blemishes, no itching, and no fading. The best part is that it has zero transfer once set with a light dusting of translucent powder. I skipped the Mehron setting spray since I didn’t want to risk damaging the finished look. I was able to contour and highlight using eyeshadow right on top of the paint with no issues. For full coverage, I did about six layers, but you may not need that many depending on your desired finish. Also tested it on a male with facial hair, and it performed perfectly with no flaking over the beard. This is hands down the only body paint I recommend or use. It is reliable, comfortable, and flawless every single time. 👽💙

Outstanding quality. Went on smooth, lasted all day at ComicCon, and hardly had to touch up at all. We're only using this brand for all our cosplays from now on.

Great color and long-lasting. I bought this for a grinch costume and it was a hit! This was my first time using this type of body paint and there was a bit of a learning curve. I found that using my fingers was the most effective as a brush and sponge tended to wipe off the color. I didn’t realize that I needed a primer to protect against staining my skin but just went for it. I used the setting spray from this brand and it lasted from 7 pm - 1 am no problem. The last photo was taken after 1 am. It didn’t feel tight or heavy on my skin and I often forgot I was wearing it. Removal was a chore but what worked the best was smearing on Vaseline and gently rubbing in circles with my fingertips until the color dissolved.

Good product, but it didn’t come with the white makeup and that what I ordered.

Arrived super quick and is the perfect color for my costume. Thanks!

La marque référence de body paint. Fonctionne parfaitement et résistant.

Contenta con la marca, tiene buena cobertura, y se limpia muy fácilmente. Por ponerle un pero el precio para la cantidad, pero la calidad tb se paga.

Really good, goes a very long way and lasts really well

nunca habia usado maquillaje asi fue para un disfraz y me sorprendio bastante, dura mucho se activa con agua y tu mismo le vas dando la consistencia. solo ocupe pasar una vez, el unico detalle son las partes del cuerpo en las que rozan con la ropa, yo especialmente utilice un buen fijador y con eso minimice que se despintara. fuera de eso si eres principiante como yo en esto te lo recomiento al 100%
