It is always so exciting to receive a brand-new makeup palette and even though the next Halloween Event will return to us only the next year, from time to time I get the urge to get creative with my makeup. Today I want to show you a very special Sua Mei 12 Colors Greasepaint Palette* - a perfect makeup palette for those who like to play around with their makeup and use their imagination. This palette is a must-have for every makeup artist's kit, so let me tell you more about it.

The Sua Mei Greasepaint Palette comes in a clear plastic container, it may be a bit too basic, but I find it super-comfortable to use, plus the little pleasant bonus - after you run out of the greasepaint you can use the container again to your favorite loose eyeshadows or lipsticks. The palette features 12 various cream colors and each section holds 2,5 g (0.09 oz) of the product.

What is greasepaint? It is basically a well-pigmented oil-based makeup product, something like a full-coverage concealer, but comes in different shades. The greasepaint makeup is usually used for theatrical performances or in the SFX makeup industry, but I think the 12 Colors Greasepaint Palette turns out to be very useful during the Halloween holidays. It is super easy and fun to recreate any iconic Halloween makeup using this palette. You can use all of these wonderful colors all over your face and body, play around with the product, mix the colors together to get any desired shade or even add it to your foundation or lipstick. Greasepaint products are oily, so to last longer on the skin, they should be applied to well-prepared skin and set with a powder.

The Sua Mei Greasepaint Palette contains the following twelve colors, they don't have the 'official' names, but this is how I would describe them to you: Gold (shimmer), Silver (shimmer), Terracotta, Cobalt Blue, Emerald Green, Teal, Black, Classic Red, Coral Red, Yellow, and White. When I first swatch the colors on my hand they were a bit too greasy, and shiny and turned out to be less pigmented than they really were. The weather was super hot that day, so the colors literally 'melted' in my container, but after I cooled down the palette in the fridge the colors looked brighter. Some of the colors from the palette look less pigmented, but overall I was surprised with the intensity of the swatches.

Lots of love,
