Mehron cream blend sticks are perfect for SFX or full coverage foundation looks in different colours. White, black, red, blue, and yellow are staples for my SFX makeup bag!
Mehron - Creamblend Stick
Â
I ADORE THIS PALETTE. I could not do any of my signature SFX halloween looks without it. Pigmented, packs and travels well, not oily, blendable and mixes very well, AND comes in a variety of tones and colours. This is a STAPLE for your halloween mak...
Athena - Face & Body Paint Palette
Â
A value alternative for Mehron sticks if you need specific cream colours for accents or face painting
Mysense - Body Paint Stick
Â
Ol' reliable. If you set your face/ body with Ben Nye - you are staying put all night!
Ben Nye - Translucent Face Powder
Â
If you are wearing clown makeup, or need a bold powder to set your highlighted areas for drag makeup, you NEED this.
Ben Nye - Makeup Setting Powder - Super White
Eyes & Lashes
Â
Personally, I love how big these are. If you are looking for bolder lashes for drag looks, these stack quite nicely.
CINYOLA- Wispy False Eyelashes
Â
I love using this to smoke out eyeshadows and my undereye. Blend out right as you put it on for best results and watch it not move for the rest of the night.
Wet n' Wild - Waterproof Eyeliner, Blackest Black
Special FX
Â
For those "fresh wound" SFX looks! This product does not stain your skin, and dries as pigmented as it goes on, without cracks. A must-have.
Plus, in Zesty Mint, you know you're in for a treat..!
Ben Nye - Stage Blood
Â
Great for SFX on the face - try not to vomit putting this on as it looks so realistic, haha!
Mehron - Coagulated Blood Gel
Â
Great for SFX scratches, cuts, and accenting around bruises.
Ben Nye - Scab Blood
Â
A high quality SFX product that you can rely on. The fact this is available on Amazon is a game-changer!
Ben Nye - Effects Wheel (Master Bruise)
Â
An absolute favourite! Be sure to have a good powder in order to colour match your foundation on top!
Ben Nye - Nose and Scar Wax
Â
I can't stress enough how important it is to use a reliable brand for SFX products, like Mehron liquid latex. My skin is quite dry and sensitive, and I find this product feels the most comfortable.
Mehron - Liquid Latex
Tools
Â
For advanced artists who want to try airbrush effects or who need a reliable airbrush for occasional uses - this is your tool! Excellent quality for an excellent price.
NEO for Iwata - Airbrush
Â
For your new airbrush! These do heat up after a few hours of consistent use, so do be careful if you are "full-sending" it for a couple hours!
Timbertech - Airbrush Compressor
Â
Excellent value for these multi-textured stipple sponges for all your fun SFX!
Stipple Sponges
Â
Don't break the bank if you are a beauty blender user for cream foundations - these are great value option for your colourful foundations or creams
Makeup Sponge - Blenders Beauty
Â
Value value value! I really love how dense these foundation brushes are to ensure even coverage.
Makeup Brush Set - 14 Piece Synthetic
Â
A great brush! If this isn't in the budget this year, an told (clean and dry) toothbrush can give you a similar effect.
