Blood Powder allows you to realistically simulate the sudden appearance of bloody effects. One good example of applications is a bleeding wound on the stage, or in a film while the camera is running. Blood Powder should be applied thinly and uniformly to the required, dry section of the actor’s skin. It can be applied best by a powder puff or powder brush. Instant Blood Powder applied in this way is virtually invisible until this point in time. The object intended to inflict the simulated wound is then coated with a wet medium: for example, diluted transparent jelly or glycerin diluted with water. This object is then placed in contact with the area of the skin covered with Blood Powder. A trickle of artificial blood will then immediately appear, with the amount depending on the amount of moisture applied. Blood Powder is manufactured with soluble colouring matter and cannot be removed from textile fabrics. It can be removed from some surfaces only with difficulty. In order to prevent staining of the actor’s skin, Blood Powder should be applied to skin that has been first provided with a protective shield of greasepaint.

Professional Makeup FAQ: Your Expert Guide
Welcome to our professional makeup FAQ. Find quick answers to common questions about high-performance products and services right here today.
Where do Kryolan and Ben Nye products come from?
Kryolan is a world-renowned brand from Germany. Ben Nye is a classic American brand used by professional artists for top results worldwide now.
Are they tested on animals?
No, these products are not tested on animals. We believe in providing ethical options for all your professional makeup kit needs today for all.
Can I return products if I change my mind?
We do not offer refunds for change of mind. This is due to the hygienic nature of our professional cosmetic range for skilled makeup artists.
Products are replaced or refunded if they are found to be faulty. Please contact our team with your order details for further help right now.
Are Minifies Make-up products only for stage and screen?
Kryolan and Ben Nye were originally designed for stage and screen. They are famous for high pigment and extreme durability on the skin always.
Both brands now offer foundations and makeup suitable for everyday wear. These provide a flawless look for any daily occasion or special event.
Is Kryolan foundation thick?
No, it isn't. They are highly pigmented. This ensures excellent coverage without feeling heavy or cakey on the skin during long wear sessions.
Which foundation suits mature skin best?
We recommend Kryolan Ultra Fluid or HD Creme Foundation. For dry skin, Ultra Foundation works well when applied finely to the face for smoothness.
In the Ben Nye range, we suggest the HD Matt Foundation lines. These come in an extensive color range for various skin tones available today.
Always use a quality primer like Kryolan HD Micro Primer. This smooths the skin and prevents product from settling into fine lines for a glow.
Which foundation is suitable for oily skin?
Kryolan Ultra Fluid or Dual Finish powder makeup is ideal. Ben Nye HD Matt Foundation is also a great choice for oily skin types for a matte look.
Use Kryolan Perfect Mat primer and Kryolan Translucent Powder to set. This combo keeps the makeup matte all day long for a clean, fresh look.
How do I achieve a natural no-makeup look?
Kryolan Tinted Moisturiser contains sunscreen for daily use. It has a light texture that evens out the skin tone naturally and fast for users.
For a dewy finish, mix in a little Shimmering Event Foundation. This adds a subtle glow that looks great in any lighting or professional venue.
Why are makeup primers so important?
Primers smooth the skin for foundation application. The makeup glides on easier and lasts longer without fading over many hours of active wear.
You will also find that you use less product overall. A good primer creates a barrier that improves the final finish for the creative artist.
Why does my foundation look ghostly in photos?
This happens when foundation contains SPF, causing "flashback." Bright sunlight can also cause a grey reflection in professional photos today.
Only the Kryolan Tinted Moisturiser sold here contains SPF. Use our other HD foundations for photography to avoid this common lighting issue.
How can I disguise a red, raised scar?
Raised areas are difficult to hide fully. Cover redness with a matching Kryolan Dermacolor shade to neutralise red tones effectively and fast.
Set it with Dermacolor Powder to make the area waterproof. Dermacolor is designed for scars and old tattoo ink on the body or the face area.
My foundation doesn't cover my red cheeks. What now?
Apply Ben Nye Mellow Yellow before your foundation. Mellow Yellow suits darker skin and severe redness for a balanced skin tone right now.
Mellow Yellow Fair is best for lighter skin or slight redness. These correctors create a neutral base for any foundation you use for beauty.
Why are eye primers important?
Eye primers smooth the eyelid before applying makeup. This makes application easier and prevents shadow creasing during the long working day.
We recommend the Kryolan Eye Shadow Primer. It keeps your eyeshadow vibrant and in place for hours without needing a touch up during events.
Are your lipsticks long lasting?
Yes, Kryolan lipsticks are very durable. We offer over 100 colours to choose from to suit every mood and occasion for your professional client.
Which waterproof foundation is best for stage?
We suggest Kryolan Supracolor. Apply with a brush or sponge. Set with translucent powder using a pressing motion for the best hold on the skin.
Do you have "Butt Glue"?
Yes, we stock this; we call it leotard glue. It is essential for dancers to keep costumes in place during shows and long dance routines today.
Do you offer foundation samples?
Yes, we are happy to send free samples. Please provide your details, skin type, and coverage needs via email to our expert team right now.
A photo without makeup also helps us choose the shade. This ensures the sample matches your unique skin tone perfectly and fast for results.
Can you order a specific Kryolan colour not on the site?
Kryolan has a massive range, so we cannot stock every shade. If you know your exact colour, we can order it for you quickly via the supplier.
Special orders may take several weeks. Payment is required before the order is placed to confirm your request with the official supplier now.
How do I become a wholesale customer?
Email us to request a wholesale application form. We will conduct a credit check via your referees to approve the professional account now.
The first order must be at least $500 before GST, paid upfront. Spend $2500 before GST annually to stay active in the wholesale system today.
How long does delivery take?
In-stock small items are processed today and often arrive tomorrow. Rural or large items usually take two days to reach your home or studio.
If out of stock, we will contact you with alternatives. We aim to get your professional supplies to you as quickly as possible for your work.
Can you help me cover a tattoo for my wedding?
Yes, Dermacolor is highly pigmented and covers tattoos all day. We also offer a setting spray for extra durability on the skin for weddings.
Samples are essential to get the shade correct. This ensures your wedding look is flawless and tattoos stay hidden all night long and well.
What are the different types of adhesives?
Mastix Spirit Gum is versatile for wigs and prosthetics. TV Matt Spirit Gum is best for film and close-ups for a clean finish on the skin.
Both are removed with Spirit Gum Remover. Water Soluble Spirit Gum is ideal for training or blocking brows for new students in the studio.
Prosaide is a latex-based glue for bald caps. Remove Prosaide from skin using Isopropyl Myristate for a safe and easy removal for the user.
Silicone Adhesive Regular Bond is used for silicone pieces. Remove this with Silicone Adhesive Remover to protect the skin from any damage.
Duo Eyelash Glue is for lashes or gems. It comes in clear, black, and non-latex versions for all skin types and sensitivities today for all.
