Mehron Special Fx All Pro Makeup Kit

So, there I was, standing in my tiny bathroom, trying to transform myself into a zombie for a friend's Halloween party. I had the clothes, the attitude, but the makeup? Well, that was a whole other story. I looked like I'd rolled around in a mud pit, not exactly the terrifying undead look I was going for. That's when it hit me - I needed a proper makeup kit, one that could handle the gore and grime of special effects makeup.

And that, my friends, is how I discovered the Mehron Special Fx All Pro Makeup Kit. Now, I'm no professional makeup artist, but I like to think I've become a bit of an amateur expert in special effects makeup since that fateful Halloween. So, let me spill the beans on this fantastic kit that's become my secret weapon.

First Impressions: A Makeup Artist's Dream

When the kit arrived, I was blown away by how much stuff was packed into this little box. It's like they crammed a whole makeup store into a compact, portable case. The kit comes with 24 creme makeup colors, 12 lipsticks, 6 face powders, 6 eye shadows, 2 eyeliners, 2 mascaras, 2 lip liners, a concealer, a foundation, and even a setting spray. I mean, who needs to buy anything else, right?

But wait, there's more! The kit also includes a selection of special effects goodies - blood, bruise wheel, scar wax, liquid latex, and a black and white cream makeup for creating those super realistic wounds and bruises. It's like they read my mind and knew I was planning to turn myself into a zombie for every possible occasion.

Quality Over Quantity

Now, you might be thinking, "That's a lot of stuff, but is it any good?" Well, let me tell you, Mehron knows their stuff. The creme makeup is super pigmented, blending like a dream, and it stays put all day. I've even used it for regular makeup looks when I want a full coverage base that won't budge. The lipsticks are creamy and long-lasting, and the powders are perfect for setting my makeup and adding a bit of contour.

The special effects products are just as impressive. The liquid latex is fantastic for creating realistic wounds - it dries clear and can be painted with the creme makeup to look like skin. The blood is thick and realistic, perfect for those gruesome wounds. And the bruise wheel? Genius! It has every shade of bruise you could need, making it a breeze to create convincing injuries.

But What About Cleanup?

Now, I know what you're thinking - "That sounds great, but cleanup is a nightmare with special effects makeup, right?" Wrong! The Mehron kit comes with a remover that takes off every single product like a breeze. No more scrubbing your face raw trying to get off that stubborn blood. It's gentle on the skin too, so no red, irritated face after a night of partying as your favorite monster.

Portability: Take Your Kit On The Go

One of my favorite things about this kit is how portable it is. The case is compact and sturdy, with a handle that makes it easy to carry around. It's perfect for touch-ups on the go, or for taking to a friend's house to do each other's makeup. I've even taken it on vacation - you never know when you might need to turn a beach day into a zombie apocalypse.

So, Should You Buy It?

If you're into special effects makeup, whether you're a professional, an amateur like me, or just want to have some fun with your makeup, then yes, you absolutely should buy this kit. It's got everything you need to create amazing looks, and it's all high quality. Plus, it's great value for money - you're getting a ton of products for a reasonable price.

But remember, this kit is designed for special effects makeup, so it's not going to be the best choice if you're looking for a kit full of everyday makeup essentials. If you're after a kit that's all about the glam, you might want to look elsewhere.

So, there you have it - my rave review of the Mehron Special Fx All Pro Makeup Kit. I've had a blast playing with this kit, and I'm sure you will too. Now, who's ready to get zombified?
