What it is used for
This palette is designed for FX and character makeup artists working with dark skin tones on demanding productions. The colors can be used individually or blended together and with other Skin Illustrator palettes to achieve fully customized color mixes.
- Character makeup and special effects in film and television
- Painting silicone and latex prosthetics with colors matched to dark skin tones
- Long-lasting body makeup for theatre and live performances
- Mixing custom shades for brown, dark and ebony skin tones
- On-set touch-ups and color correction during production
- Painting edges and transition areas on prosthetics adhered to skin
How to use it
- Make sure the surface (skin, silicone or latex) is clean, dry and free of grease.
- Load a flat or round brush with Skin Illustrator Activator or 99% isopropyl alcohol.
- Lightly rub the damp brush over the desired color in the palette to activate the pigment.
- Apply to the surface using gentle strokes. The color sets within seconds as the alcohol evaporates.
- Blend colors directly on the skin or on the palette itself to obtain intermediate shades.
- Build up thin layers for greater intensity or coverage, allowing each layer to dry before applying the next.
- To set and seal the result on natural skin, apply a setting spray compatible with alcohol-based makeup.
Important: Always activate the colors with 99% isopropyl alcohol, Skin Illustrator Activator or Skin Illustrator Slow Activator. Do not use 70% alcohol, acetone, MEK, water or any other solvent: the formulation will not activate correctly and results will be poor. 70% alcohol contains too much water and can affect pigment adhesion and finish.
Usage tips
Brushes and application tools
Flat synthetic-hair brushes are the most versatile for applying large surfaces. For fine details and lines, use a fine-tip brush. A mascara wand or cotton swab are also useful for very small areas or for blending edges. Clean brushes with 99% alcohol between colors to avoid contaminating the palette.
Color mixing and customization
The Ebony Plum and Mahogany shades in this palette are formulated to work with dark skin tones, but you can blend them with any other Skin Illustrator palette to fine-tune the shade. Always test the mix on the back of your hand before applying it to the prosthetic or the actor. Work with thin overlapping layers rather than a single dense layer: this gives you better control over the result and prevents blotching or pigment build-up.
Palette storage and maintenance
Close the palette securely after each use to prevent the pigments from drying out or becoming contaminated. If a color hardens due to a build-up of dried residue, simply apply a few drops of 99% alcohol directly onto the color and allow it to act for a few seconds before resuming work. Store the palette in a cool place away from direct sunlight to preserve pigment stability.
Frequently asked questions
Which activator should I use with these alcohol palettes?
The Skin Illustrator On Set Harder Fall requires Skin Illustrator Activator, Skin Illustrator Slow Activator or pure 99% isopropyl alcohol. The Slow Activator extends working time, which is useful for blending over large surfaces. Never use 70% alcohol or water, as they do not properly activate the pigment.
Can it be used on silicone and latex, not just on skin?
Yes. The alcohol-based formulation of Skin Illustrator is specifically designed to adhere to both natural skin and silicone and latex prosthetics. This is one of the key advantages of this range over water-based makeups, which do not adhere well to porous or silicone surfaces.
What is the difference between the On Set version and the full-size palette?
The On Set version is a compact format designed to be taken to the set and used efficiently. It contains the same pigment quality as the full-size palettes, but in a more manageable and lightweight case, ideal for quick touch-ups during production.
Can I mix these colors with other Skin Illustrator palettes?
Yes, all colors in the Skin Illustrator range are compatible with each other. You can combine the dark shades from this palette with those of the Dark Fleshtone Palette or with any other palette in the range to achieve custom mixes with complete chromatic freedom.
How long does the makeup last once applied?
Once activated and dry, alcohol-based makeup is resistant to sweat and friction, making it suitable for long shooting days. Durability increases when a compatible setting spray is applied. To remove it, use a solvent or remover specifically designed for alcohol-based makeup.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin or use on actors with reactive skin?
Skin Illustrator is a professional range in regular use in film and television, but as with any makeup product, a patch test on a small area of skin is recommended before full application, especially for individuals with sensitive skin or a history of allergies to cosmetics.
How do I remove the color from skin or a silicone prosthetic?
To remove the makeup from skin, use a remover specifically designed for alcohol-based makeups or baby oil applied with a cotton pad. On silicone prosthetics, 99% isopropyl alcohol is usually sufficient to clean without damaging the material. Avoid excessive rubbing on delicate painted silicone surfaces to avoid lifting previously applied color layers.
Which palette is more suitable if I mainly work with lighter skin tones?
If your work focuses on light or medium skin tones, the Skin Illustrator Flesh Tone Palette or the Complexion Palette are more suitable options. The On Set Harder Fall is specifically oriented towards dark and ebony skin tones.
