The Skin Illustrator On Set Greg Cannom Color 3 palette is a selection of six grease-based colors that are a reference in cinematic special effects makeup, personally chosen by four-time Oscar winner Greg Cannom and based on the original cream and wax formulas by William Tuttle. They are formulated to be applied directly on skin, silicone and latex prosthetics, offering dense, long-lasting coverage that holds under set lighting without fading.

What it is used for
This palette is designed for professional special effects, film and television makeup artists who need high-precision character colors and shading. The Cannom Color 3 series shades are especially useful for building depth, aging effects and prosthetic blending.
- Shading and contouring of silicone and latex prosthetics on set.
- Character makeup using aging or facial alteration techniques.
- Direct painting on skin for wound, disease or skin tone change effects.
- Mixing with other palettes from the Skin Illustrator Complexion range to expand the color spectrum.
- On-set touch-ups to maintain color continuity between takes.
- Gradient and glaze effects over flesh tone bases.
How to use it
- Prepare the surface: make sure the skin or prosthetic is clean and free of any grease or powder residue.
- Pick up a small amount of color with the brush or sponge — these colors are highly pigmented, so start with a little.
- Apply with light strokes and build up intensity in layers, blending the edges to integrate the color with the surface.
- Mix shades directly on the palette or on the prosthetic to achieve natural transitions.
- Once the makeup is complete, set with an HD Matting Spray to eliminate grease shine and increase durability under set lighting.
- To remove the makeup, use a grease makeup remover or a prosthetic-specific cleansing oil.
Usage tips
Managing intensity
The wax/cream base colors in this palette are highly concentrated. If you are looking for a translucent or glaze effect, load the brush minimally and work in thin layers. It is much easier to add intensity than to remove it once applied on silicone.
Mixing with other Skin Illustrator palettes
The Cannom Color 3 shades are formulated to be fully miscible with the rest of the Skin Illustrator range. You can combine them without issue with the Skin Illustrator FX Palette for wound effects or with the Flesh Tone Palette to adjust the color temperature of each shade.
Setting and durability on set
Outdoors or under high-temperature lighting, grease makeup tends to migrate. Applying an HD Matting Spray after finishing the makeup not only eliminates shine but also sets the color layer and prevents it from moving during hours of continuous shooting.
Frequently asked questions
Is this type of makeup suitable for sensitive skin?
The Cannom Color 3 palette colors are formulated for professional on-set use, but the grease base may clog pores on very sensitive skin if worn for many hours. It is recommended to do a patch test on a small area before full application and to always remove the makeup properly at the end of the job.
Can it be applied directly on silicone prosthetics without prior preparation?
Yes. This palette is specifically formulated to adhere to silicone surfaces. However, the silicone must be clean and free of any release agent or surface grease residue to ensure proper adhesion and even coverage.
What is the difference between this palette and standard flesh tone palettes?
While flesh tone palettes such as the Flesh Tone Palette offer neutral bases for building realistic skin, the Cannom Color 3 palette contains specific character shades selected by Greg Cannom for shading, aging and blending. These are signature colors with a very defined artistic vision.
Can it be used without a setting spray?
Yes, it can be used without a setting spray. However, in hot conditions, when sweating, or under prolonged set lighting, an unfixed finish tends to shift. For short-duration work or still photography it may be sufficient. For film and television, the use of an HD Matting Spray is highly recommended.
Can the colors be mixed together?
Yes. All colors in the Skin Illustrator range share the same base and are fully miscible with each other. You can mix the Cannom Color 3 palette shades with any other palette in the collection, including the FX Palette and the Complexion Palette.
How do you clean the brush between colors?
To clean brushes between colors during work, the most practical approach is to remove the excess with a dry wipe and then run the brush through a grease makeup remover or a specific cleansing oil. For a thorough clean at the end of the session, use brush soap or a mild shampoo.
How long does the makeup last when applied on skin?
When set with a matte setting spray, the makeup can last through an entire shooting day without the need for significant touch-ups. Without setting, longevity depends on environmental conditions and the performer's activity, but under normal conditions it holds for several hours.
Is it suitable for theatrical makeup work as well as film?
Yes. Although the Cannom Color 3 palette is conceived for film and television, its high pigmentation and durability make it perfectly valid for theatre, especially in productions with intense lighting or long-duration performances.
