What it's used for
The On Set Sunburn palette is designed for professional character makeup in film, television, theatre and photography. Its 6 shades range from soft pink to deep aged red, allowing you to recreate any stage of sun exposure on any skin tone:
- Superficial sunburns and skin redness

- Realistic character makeup for exterior shoots
- Sun-aged skin and cumulative skin distress
- Application over silicone and latex prosthetics on set
- Blending with other Skin Illustrator palettes to expand the colour range
How to use it
- Prepare the surface: make sure the skin, silicone or latex is clean and free of grease or oils.
- Load the brush with the desired colour from the palette.
- Activate the pigment by moistening the brush with 99% isopropyl alcohol or the Skin Illustrator specific activator. Do not use 70% alcohol, water, acetone or MEK solvents.
- Apply the colour with soft strokes and work in thin layers to build intensity progressively.
- Blend the different shades from the palette directly on the skin or on a mixing palette to achieve natural transitions.
- Set the result with the dry activator if greater durability on set is required.
- To correct or remove, use 99% isopropyl alcohol with a cotton pad.
Usage tips
Build the effect in layers
The secret to a convincing sunburn lies in gradation. Start with the softer shades (Peach Intense, Fizzle Pop) as a general base and gradually add the more intense tones (Magenta Sunburn, Cherry Bomb) to areas of greatest exposure: nose, cheekbones, shoulders and décolleté. Always work wet-on-wet to blend without hard edges.
Adapt the palette to each skin tone
For fair skin, Peach Intense and Fave Sunburn are the starting point. For medium or dark skin tones, Dark Sunburn and Cherry Bomb provide the necessary warmth without losing contrast. The On Set version includes exactly the six shades that cover the full spectrum, so you won't need additional palettes for most on-set situations.
Use on prosthetics and silicone
When working on silicone or latex prosthetics, make sure the surface is free of any release agent residue or uncured silicone. Alcohol pigments adhere well to these surfaces, but a prior clean with isopropyl alcohol ensures optimal adhesion and greater makeup durability during filming. You can complement the look with the Skin Illustrator FX Palette to add wound details, capillaries or texture.
Frequently asked questions
What activator should I use with this type of palette?
You should use 99% isopropyl alcohol or the Skin Illustrator specific activator (available in standard and slow activator versions for warm climates). Do not use 70% alcohol, water, acetone or MEK, as they alter the formula and pigment adhesion. With the On Set Sunburn palette, 99% alcohol applied with a wet brush is sufficient for most jobs.
Is this type of makeup suitable for sensitive skin?
Alcohol-based makeups are formulated for professional use on skin, but it is always advisable to perform a patch test on the inner elbow before applying to large areas, especially on sensitive or reactive skin. In case of irritation, remove with 99% isopropyl alcohol and wash the area with water and mild soap.
Can it be applied directly on silicone prosthetics?
Yes. The On Set Sunburn palette adheres to silicone and latex without the need for additional primers, as long as the surface is clean and free of greasy residue. This is one of its advantages over other makeup systems that are not compatible with these surfaces.
How do you mix the colours in the palette?
You can mix the colours directly on the skin by applying successive layers, or pre-mix them on a mirror or mixing palette by moistening the brush with activator. They are also fully compatible with the rest of the Skin Illustrator range, such as the Complexion Palette or the Flesh Tone Palette, which considerably expands the colour possibilities.
How long does the makeup last once applied?
Under normal shooting conditions, alcohol makeup is very stable and resistant to light perspiration. Durability depends on the actor's activity level, ambient temperature and whether it has been properly set. For long shoots or outdoor work in hot weather, periodic touch-ups and the use of the slow activator are recommended for greater application control.
How is this type of makeup removed?
It is easily removed with 99% isopropyl alcohol applied with cotton or a makeup-removing pad. After removal, it is advisable to moisturise the skin with a mineral-oil-free cream to compensate for the dehydrating effect of the alcohol.
What is the difference between the On Set version and the standard palette?
The On Set version is a compact format specifically designed for on-set use: lighter, more portable and featuring the most-used colours from the Sunburn collection. The standard palette may include a greater number of shades or larger formats. The On Set Sunburn is the preferred option when practicality and portability are a priority.
Can I use this palette for effects other than sunburns?
Yes. Although designed for sunburns, the pink, magenta and red tones in the palette are useful for recreating erythema, allergic reactions, skin irritations or cold-induced redness. Combined with the FX Palette, you can create very convincing wound, bruise or inflammation effects.
