Mehron Paradise Makeup AQ Pro Size Water-Activated Face & Body Paint — Light Blue 1.4 oz, Matte, Blendable

Mehron Paradise Makeup AQ Pro Size in Light Blue is a professional, water-activated face and body paint that delivers vivid, blendable color for stage, cosplay, and special effects in a 1.4 oz (40 g) pan.

Designed for theatre, film, cosplay and creative makeup artists, this Pro Size Paradise Makeup AQ pan gives vibrant light blue coverage with a smooth, matte finish when dry. The formula reactivates with water so you can control the intensity and consistency—thin for delicate washes or thicker for crisp lines and opaque coverage. Infused with soothing botanicals like aloe and avocado oil, it balances performance with skin-friendly ingredients and is made in the USA by Mehron, a trusted professional brand since 1927.

How do I prepare and apply Mehron Paradise AQ for different effects?

Activation is simple: add a few drops of water and stir with a brush or sponge until you reach the desired consistency. Use a damp thin brush for fine details or a wetter, fuller brush for smooth coverage; sponges create airbrushed or blended looks quickly. The paint dries to a matte finish and layers well for highlights and shadows.

• Fine lines: lightly dampen a liner brush for crisp edges.
• Full coverage: mix to a paste and apply with a dense brush or sponge.
• Wash or glaze: dilute for subtle tints or underpainting.
• Layering: let each layer set before adding pigments for depth.

Will this light blue paint stay on during performances and photos?

Paradise AQ is formulated for stage and screen use, offering high-pigment payoff and a matte appearance that photographs well under bright lights. Longevity depends on skin type and activity level; setting with powder or a setting spray and avoiding excess sweat or oil will extend wear time. It is easily touch-up friendly thanks to the water-reactive formula.

• Photogenic matte finish reduces shine under hot lights.
• High pigment concentration minimizes multiple passes.
• Set with translucent powder or spray for longer wear.
• Quick spot touch-ups by rewetting paint as needed.

Is this product safe for face and body use, and what skin types is it suitable for?

Mehron Paradise AQ is made with skin-soothing ingredients like aloe, cucumber and cocoa seed butter and is widely used by professionals on faces and bodies. As with any cosmetic, perform a small patch test if you have sensitive or reactive skin. The product is cruelty-free and manufactured in the USA following industry standards.

• Contains aloe, cucumber, and cocoa seed butter for comfort.
• Suitable for most skin areas when used as directed.
• Perform a patch test for sensitive or allergy-prone skin.
• Cruelty-free and professional-grade manufacturing.

How do I store and maintain the 1.4 oz pan between uses?

Keep pans dry and stored in a cool, covered palette or container to prevent contamination and moisture damage. After use, allow the pan to fully dry before replacing a lid; avoid leaving excess water pooled in the pan. Clean application tools promptly to maintain color purity and prevent cross-contamination.

• Air-dry pans after use before closing lids.
• Store in a sealed palette away from direct sunlight.
• Wash brushes and sponges immediately with mild soap.
• Label pans if mixing or customizing colors for repeats.
