The Ben Nye Red, White & Black Wheel (compact) is a compact crème makeup wheel from Ben Nye with three essential colours for mime, clown, and classic character looks. The cream formula is highly pigmented, blendable, and works on skin, latex, gelatine, wax, and prosthetics.

- Three core colours: White (CL-1), Red (CR-1), Black (CL-29)
- Highly pigmented, soft blendable formula
- Compact size: 14 g (0.5 oz), approx. 50-300 applications
- Works on skin, latex, gelatine, wax, silicone, and prosthetics
What character looks can you create with this wheel?
White, red, and black are the three colours that appear in almost every classic character. Think mime (white face, black accents), traditional clown (white base, red nose and cheeks), vampire (white and red contrast), or geisha (white base, red lips).
With just these three colours you have everything you need for sharp contrasts, smooth blends, and layered looks. You can blend directly on the skin or mix first on a palette for in-between shades.
When do you choose this wheel over individual colours?
This wheel is the quickest way to get started with cream makeup. Everything's together: white for base layers, red for colour accents, black for contouring and line work. Choose this wheel when you want to work compact, have limited kit space, or simply want the three most-used character colours in one place.
The cream formula feels warmer and richer than face paint. That shows in blending: the colours flow into each other more smoothly, especially when you use the warmth of your fingers.
How to use it
Pick up a small amount of colour with a latex foam sponge and gently press it into the skin. For soft transitions and textured effects, stippling works better than wiping. Want sharp lines or fine details? Use a fine makeup brush instead. Apply white as a base first, then layer red and black on top. For a more fluid consistency, mix a little cream on a palette with a drop of 99% alcohol.
Pro tip: For a classic mime look: apply White (CL-1) as a full base layer with a sponge. Once it has set slightly, use a fine brush to add Black (CL-29) for the oval eye accents and brow lines. Finish with a subtle touch of Red (CR-1) on the cheeks or lips.
Setting and removing
Set cream makeup with a setting powder. Press it in with a powder puff and brush away any excess. This locks the makeup in place and reduces transfer.
To remove, use an oil-based makeup remover such as Ben Nye Quick Cleanse or plain baby oil. Water and soap alone is usually not enough for cream makeup.
What can you use it for?
- Mime and pantomime
- Clown and comedy characters
- Vampire and gothic looks
- Geisha and classic character makeup
- Theatre and film
- Halloween and fancy dress
