7 Color Professional Makeup Kit Reel F/X Halloween Costume Makeup

My preschooler wanted to be a leopard for Halloween this year. I had no idea that this kit isn't for ages under 8, however. My design was to just have her temples, some of her cheeks, and forehead covered in makeup, not the entire face, and it seems to be working out well. I'm using real highlighting powder to brighten the cheeks and the nose with a golden color that matches this kit and found copper-colored face glitter to add pizazz.Do you know how hard it was to find a Halloween makeup kit that has a black, a dark brown and a light brown? I almost had to settle for buying those colors individually, which would have cost around $30. Thankfully, this kit has those three colors and mixing the light brown with the yellow creates the perfect color that matches the rest of the costume.We've done two full makeup tests so far for some Trunk-of-Treat events. For the first, I used white makeup from a Ben Nye compact I've had for years as a base and then the makeup from this kit. I used regular makeup powder to set everything and it held up really well, except where the collar of my child's costume kept rubbing against it. For the second, I used the white makeup that came from this kit, set everything with powder, and even before we made it to the event, the makeup was rubbing off, fading and melting. I'm not sure if it's the difference between the two white's or if I used too much black and brown the second time and they didn't set properly. Temperature could have also played a role as it was uncharacteristically 80 degrees that day and the event was held outdoors.If doing lines that need staying power, I recommend using a waterproof liquid eyeliner. I used Flash Cat Eye by Infallible from L'Oreal for the leopard nose, whiskers and upper lip, and they never budged or smudged. Super easy to remove with just soap and water, too. Speaking of, this makeup kit seems to come off best with a makeup remover and then soap and water.Overall, this kit is great for Halloween; a very reasonable price point and has the colors I was looking for. The case it comes in is perfect for saving the pigments for next Halloween or for when we feel like having a face painting day in the near future.

Perfect for what I was wanting, can be a little smelly though!

This makeup kit is reasonably priced and is good quality. I used it to create a cowardly lion look to go along with my costume for a wizard of oz themed halloween. While i would not refer to this makeup kit as "professional", the makeup was still easy to apply and stayed on through a night of drinking and celebration. Despite sweating and touching my face several times the makeup stayed completely on and did not smear as much as I thought it would.The only thing keeping me from giving this a five star review its the fact that it did not have any orange paint! I was forced to blend the yellow and red to make the color.

I was really excited this year to finally work on Halloween and dress up for work! I was going to be BARF from Spaceballs and oddly enough, no stores near me had brown face make up.... So I found this and ordered it. It did apply pretty easy and mixed well, but don't expect it to actually stay on.... I applied to a clean face as directed. I didnt have a 'setting powder' so just allowed it to dry, or so I thought. It literally wipes off with a dry tissue. I guess 5 stars for ease of removal. I am pretty good at not touching my face so I really didnt have a problem, but not a face paint for kids who constantly touch their face. It would be a disaster!!!

I am using this make-up for a deer costume. The colors will work very well for my needs. I have done a practice and the stuff goes on my face well, good colors. It wiped off easily with a facial wipe. I preferred using my fingers over the small applicator. Probably because I need to do big areas of my face. No complaints about the applicator though. It was good for the small lines. I actually like this kit because it has a cover!!! Most of the Halloween make-up in stores comes in the packaging and then I guess we're just supposed to keep the packaging and sort of tape it closed again after use...? Well, this has a clear lid that you open and close. That is REALLY nice and will stay in good condition because it has that to stay together better. Thanks for a great product and fast shipping.

I live in a 55 + community and last evening, we put on a skit, i.e. our rendition of YMCA. I was the Indian. Of course, my Indian costume would have been worthless without makeup on my face. Wow, I have to tell you, this makeup kit was FANTASTIC. To start with, it couldn't be packaged better. It comes in a small, compact, easy-to-use plastic case. Secondly, it even has a makeup brush if you don't want to apply the makeup with your fingers. And most importantly, this stuff easily washes off of your face with soap and water. And lastly, the price could not be better. Buy this kit and you will be happy you did.

There are a lot of colors, I give it props for that. However, I used it once for a test run of my Halloween costume, and not only did I still have to buy red eyeshadow because the back of the packaging says that the red color could not be used around eyes (I wouldn't have bought the palette if it said that somewhere on the listing), but the white I used on my face got all over the collar of my costume and the top of my bowtie. I had to spend a good hour and a half soaking and scrubbing it off of everything. Didn't use it for actual Halloween. Also took an additional week to show up which gave me about three days to buy the replacement makeup. It also was a pain to apply, and made me smell like crayons. Not worth the money.

Easy to order, product as described. Makeup stayed on and was easy to apply.
