Why this wheel stands out

• Durable finish helps makeup hold under stage lighting and camera, with adjustable opacity through layering.

How to use for convincing bruises

• Apply a light base with Yellow CL-5 or Sallow Green FX-11 to create under-tones and edema hints.
• Layer Blood Red CL-14 and Purple CL-18 to begin shaping a bruise, then deepen with Dark Burgundy FX-5 and Midnight Violet FX-7.
• Blend edges softly with a stipple sponge or brush to mimic natural skin transitions.
• Set with a translucent powder or sealer to extend wear during performances or shoots.

Ideal scenarios

• Theatrical productions, film and TV makeup, cosplay, and Halloween looks.
• Close-up shoots or character work where believable bruising enhances storytelling.
• Costume makeup that requires layered color dynamics and durability under lighting.

Notes: The Master Bruise Wheel is designed for cosmetic effects and creative expression. Results depend on technique, skin tone, and environment. The six-color palette offers versatility for a range of bruising patterns without implying medical outcomes.
