Premium Black Blending Makeup for Soft Shading and Character Work

Create smooth shadows, smoky effects and seamless tonal depth with Global Colours Black Blending Face & Body Makeup. This premium 32g glycerine-based, water-activated cake has a softer, more workable texture than precision face paint, giving you time to buff, fade and blend the edges before it dries to a comfortable, flexible finish.

Why Choose Blending Makeup?

Choose this formula when you want soft edges and gradual transitions rather than crisp lines. Use it for broad bases, shading and dimensional effects, then add Global Colours Precision Cake Paint when you need sharp outlines or bold detail.

Black Is Ideal For

• Shadows, contouring and smoky effects
• Skulls, monsters, witches and dark fantasy characters
• Ageing, bruising depth and theatrical character makeup
• Dry-brush effects and transparent washes
• Blended backgrounds beneath detailed linework

How to Activate and Apply

1. Add a small amount of clean water or suitable sealer to the cake.
2. Work the surface until the colour reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.
3. Apply with a sponge, smudger, dry brush or suitable makeup brush.
4. Use a buffing motion for an even base, or soften the edges while the formula remains workable.
5. Build gradually, adding only a little more water when needed.

The colour can also be picked up dry with a dry brush for a softer, smoky or transparent effect. For large, streak-free areas, Global Colours recommends a small or large kabuki brush.

Blending Makeup vs Precision Cake Paint

Choose Blending Makeup for bases, shading, soft edges and gradients. Choose Precision Cake Paint for crisp lines, bold blocks of colour, outlines and sharp details. Many artists use both: Blending Makeup first for dimension, followed by Precision Cake Paint for definition.

Removal and Care

Remove gently with warm water and soap, makeup remover or suitable makeup wipes. Repeat if darker or layered colour remains. Clean brushes, sponges and blending tools after each use and allow the cake to dry before closing or storing it.
