What it is used for
The SFX 177 Inverted Streak is designed for special effects makeup professionals working both on set and in the workshop. Its inverted shape makes it particularly effective in hard-to-reach areas and on curved surfaces. Use it to:
- Paint the natural curves of the human body with precision and control.
- Smooth and work professional sculpting clays during the sculpting phase.
- Apply FX makeup paints and products onto prosthetics and hairpieces.
- Remove or blend the edges of silicone or latex prosthetics on skin.
- Create transitions and gradients in character makeup effects.
- Work with strong dyes and solvent-based formulations without damaging the brush.
How to use it
- Before first use, clean the brush with warm water or with the brush cleaner appropriate for the product you are going to apply.
- Load the brush with just the right amount of product: less is more, especially with highly pigmented paints or solvent-based products.
- Apply the product following the curve of the area to be worked, taking advantage of the inverted shape of the brush to reach concave or hard-to-access areas.
- To smooth sculpting clays during sculpting, use the brush dry or slightly dampened with a compatible solvent, applying gentle pressure and circular movements.
- When finished, thoroughly clean the brush with the appropriate cleaner and dry it in a horizontal position to preserve the shape of the bristles.
- Store the brush protected to prevent bristle deformation.
Usage tips
Cleaning with solvents
The bonding adhesive in Bdellium SFX brushes is specifically formulated to withstand contact with most solvents and brush cleaners. Even so, avoid leaving the brush submerged for long periods: always clean, rinse and dry methodically to extend the tool's useful life.
Use in sculpting
When using the SFX 177 to smooth professional sculpting clays, work with short, controlled movements. If the clay is very hard, gently warm the work area with a mild heat source before using the brush — this will reduce the material's resistance and give you a cleaner finish.
Bristle maintenance
The synthetic bristles of this brush hold their shape better than natural-hair bristles, but it is still advisable to dry them horizontally and not leave the brush resting on the tip. If the bristles lose their shape after aggressive cleaning, dampen them, reshape with your fingers and leave them to dry horizontally.
Frequently asked questions
What is the advantage of a synthetic bristle brush over a natural bristle brush for FX makeup?
Synthetic bristles like those of the Bdellium SFX 177 do not absorb product in the same way as natural ones, which improves the distribution of highly pigmented paints and solvent-based products. They also withstand strong cleaners better without degrading.
Is this brush suitable for working with solvent-based paints?
Yes. Both the synthetic bristles and the bonding adhesive of the Bdellium SFX 177 are formulated to resist most solvents and brush cleaners commonly used in special effects makeup.
Can it be used to apply or remove prosthetics?
Yes. The SFX 177 Inverted Streak is suitable both for applying adhesives and products onto prosthetics and for working the edges during removal, thanks to its shape and the resistance of its materials to professional character makeup products.
How do I correctly clean a brush after using it with FX paints?
Clean the brush immediately after use with the solvent or cleaner appropriate for the product applied. Gently rub the bristles against the palm of your hand or a cleaning mat, rinse and dry in a horizontal position. Bdellium SFX brushes stand up well to this repeated process thanks to their special adhesive.
Is it suitable for use with professional sculpting clays?
Yes, in fact it is one of its main uses. The inverted shape of the SFX 177 makes smoothing professional sculpting clays during the sculpting process easier, allowing curved surfaces to be worked with greater control.
Does the bamboo handle affect the durability of the brush?
Bamboo is a strong and lightweight material, suitable for professional use. That said, avoid leaving it submerged in water or solvents for a long time, as any wooden or natural fibre handle can degrade with prolonged immersion.
What other brushes from the SFX range complement this model?
In the Feroca catalogue you will find other professional brushes for special effects, such as those from the Titanic PRO-FX series, designed for fine lining and angle work. Each model covers a specific need within the FX character makeup process.
What types of paint can I apply with a brush like this?
The Bdellium SFX 177 is compatible with acrylic paints, alcohol-based paints, water-based products and formulations with solvents commonly used in FX makeup. Its construction makes it particularly suitable for aggressive products that would damage lower quality brushes.
