amazing ! great coverage, works extremely well with the powder; barely creases. very very durable !! i ware it for my goth nightclub outfits and it lasts all night

My daughter lives for this makeup stick. It’s full coverage, smooth, and perfect for all the wild and wonderful looks she loves to create. Clown one day, fairy queen the next—this stick keeps up with her imagination like a pro.It goes on like butter and covers everything. No patchiness, no drama. Just bold, bright, paint-the-face realness. If your kid’s an artist with a makeup brush, this is a must-have in their kit.

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.

works great!! i appreciate it more than snaz/ water activated paint. it does transfer a little more than water activated, but goes on sooo much easier.

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 wore this to a con on my face and arms. The stuff on my face? Went great, so long as I didn't touch it! My arms? Rubbed off everywhere. I also had a difficult time putting makeup on top of the face base, as the foundation lifted at the slightest provocation and got increasingly frustrating to work with, even after round after round of setting powder and spray. It's like grease paint, totally refusing to dry down or stay! The color is nice and opaque, however, and the green color is very pretty.

Daughter dressed up as Elphaba for Halloween and this was perfect to turn her face green! We found it easier to put the green on a makeup sponge then apply to face. It washed off easily too. Her skin is sensitive to products sometimes, but this did not affect her at all!
