Needed makeup to be the Joker for a comic book party and this product delivered. The spirit gum that they provide to build up "scarring" looks superb but is lost a bit once you apply the rest of the makeup. The green hair dye is very runny and the nail polish applicator they give you is...a choice. You'd be better served just dumping the dye into your palms and running it through your damp hair--and I do stress damp hair, as dry hair won't take the color very well. The white makeup just needs a little bit of moisture (I used a water spray bottle) and then it applies very well. The black goes on very strong, so be careful where you apply, otherwise you'll have to wipe it off and redo it. The black pencil liner included helps to get those runny line looks, but I also used a q-tip. The red is a bit on the maroon side rather than striking red, so I blended a bit of black and white here and there to make the color pop more. The green dye came right out in the shower, the white required a little scrubbing, and I had to use a makeup removal wipe for the black. The red mostly came off but 2 days later, it is still faintly present only in the areas where the spirit gum scar makeup was, so mixing those 2 products makes the red stain a little longer. They provided enough of everything to use several times for multiple applications and I'll be saving it for next Halloween, for sure.

Admittedly, calling this a "professional" kit is a bit of a stretch. That's not to say there's anything wrong with the materials, but professionals are going to work with more and more advanced materials and techniques than those included here (including, for instance, airbrushes and foam latex prosthetic appliances). However, this is a great introductory kit for a beginner just getting started with special effects makeup. The quality of the materials is quite good, and it's all reasonably easy to use. As you can see in the photos, even as a complete amateur, I think I was able to achieve good results using this kit. The only effect I added that wasn't included in the kit was that I blackened my mouth using a black substance made by mixing all the colors of food coloring into a cup of mouthwash. The makeup included provides a good selection of colors perfect for zombies or for other wounds. It's a good quality material and supplied in sufficient quantity to make several zombies. It also comes with liquid latex in a color that closely matches the "zombie flesh" color of makeup, which is quite helpful, and also supplied in sufficient quantities for several zombies. The fake blood included has a great color and is a non-toxic mixture. It's a little on the thick side for my taste, but I certainly had no problem using it in small quantities to create little blood drips from wounds, and particularly to add some color to the lips. The only included material I didn't particularly like was the "extra flesh" wax material. I found it just too soft to be very useful (and fairly messy to boot). That's not to say you can't make it work (particularly in small quantities), but I'd personally opt for different materials. Overall, I'm quite happy with this purchase. For someone like me--a beginning hobbyist in the special effects makeup world, but one with high standards--it was the perfect set to complete one of my projects.

sooo with lots of patience and care during preparation this bald cap looks so good and scary real. i would suggest skipping the liquid latex and if you have it, using your own foundation. other than that, it was a killer piece for my dune party.

This was hilarious!!! It would have worked out better if I was doing it to someone else, but this was my first time and it was just me. So it's possible to do your own head. I wish I would have pulled it tighter. And I should have done a bit more liquid latex. I think it could have made the line on your forehead less noticeable. But overall, for a first time, not bad. Kit comes with one head piece that I would say is not reusable. Tons of makeup. Tons of power. The stuff that gets the goo off when you're done. I would easily recommend this kit and if I ever need to be Uncle Fester again, I'd totally buy another one. :)

I ordered 6 kits for my son who played Daddy Warbucks in Annie Jr. All 6 kits had issues with the liquid latex being partially or completely dried out which made the application difficult or impossible. One kit arrived sealed and without the spirit gum in the package. I went to my local Halloween store after the 3rd kit to get fresh liquid latex just in case. Once the latex issue was resolved, it was a great product. This cap looked more realistic than other cheaper bald caps. We ended up layering the makeup in the final step because you could really see through the cap with just one application. It was time consuming to apply it properly, but worth it for the authentic look. By the way, my son with the cap is on the right…his dad is not wearing the product.

It's pretty good but if you are someone with more of a greasier face(like Mee) it melts off a bit . Tried alot of setting powder too :(

I guess this doesn't happen to everyone but it certainly happened to me. It hurt and itched and looked terrible for a month. I used cortisone cream and waited. My skin is more sensitive now than it used to be after using this makeup. Buyer beware!

This was soooo easy to use. I'm so glad I went with this product. Never doing this before I was nervous but this was great. We had more fun getting this makeup on than at the event we went to. Awesome. One packet sufficed for 4 of us with plenty left over. We bought a couple fake wounds and blood but they wouldn't have looked good without this makeup to blend it all in.

I don't have any complaints about the product

Effet ultra réaliste! Mes amis ont cru que j'avais rasé mes cheveux! Il faut par contre prévoir BEAUCOUP de temps pour réaliser un travail de qualité.

Nice large cakes of color, easy to apply to brush and face, and cleans off really nicely once it's time to remove. Very satisfied

Mais pas eu l'occasion de l'utiliser vraiment... Hélas.
