Which scalp and hairline effects can you create with this wheel?
This wheel contains four colours, each recreating a different element of a realistic scalp. Capillary Stipple (FX-13) and Peacock Blue (CL-21) are applied in thin, stippled layers for those typical subcutaneous capillary tones. Steel Grey (CL-25) works as hair shadow or a stippled hairline edge. Mellow Yellow (MY-2) acts as a light concealer to smooth out unwanted colour differences.
Together, these four colours give you everything you need to make a bald cap read as real skin - not latex or silicone.
When do you choose this wheel over individual cream colours?
Choose this wheel if you regularly work with bald caps or scalp prosthetics and don't want to search for individual pots that work together. The colours are deliberately balanced: you stipple them in sequence, blend them together and get a layered result that would take you much longer to achieve with loose colours.
The compact size (28 g) fits in any kit and is ideal for on-location work, theatre or a film set.
How to use
Apply with a latex foam sponge by dabbing and stippling - not stroking. That creates the soft, mottled texture that mimics real skin. For sharper lines or detail work, use a fine brush. Blending with your fingers works well for warm transitions. For a more translucent layer, mix a small amount of colour with 99% alcohol on a palette before applying.
Pro tip: Start with a thin layer of Mellow Yellow to even out the bald cap surface. Stipple Capillary Stipple and Peacock Blue in irregular layers for depth. Finish with Steel Grey along the hairline edge for a convincing scalp illusion.
Setting and removing
Cream makeup needs to be set with setting powder to mattify and extend wear. Press the powder on with a powder puff, remove the excess and use a powder brush for any detail areas. To remove, use a gentle makeup remover such as Ben Nye Quick Cleanse, or soap and water.
