Mehron StarBlend Cake Makeup — Black 2 oz Wet/Dry Powder Foundation & Body Paint, High Pigment Stage-Grade

Mehron StarBlend Cake Makeup is a professional, highly pigmented wet-or-dry powder foundation and body paint designed to deliver full coverage and long-lasting color for stage, film, and creative looks. Mehron’s StarBlend Cake Makeup has served performers and artists for decades by combining concentrated pigment with a versatile pressed-powder formula. Use it dry for soft coverage or activate with water for intense, opaque color that resists sweat and lights. This 2 oz (56 g) pro-size black cake is made in the USA and formulated for repeated professional use, whether you’re creating character makeup, theatrical effects, or detailed body art.

How do I apply StarBlend for the best results?

Application depends on the finish you want: dry for powdery, blendable coverage; wet for bold, saturated color and edge definition. For dry use, a soft sponge or kabuki brush works well; for wet application, a natural sea sponge or damp brush brings out maximum pigment.

• Dry: use a Paradise Makeup AQ sponge or brush for buildable coverage.
• Wet: dampen a Natural Sea Sponge to turn the cake into cream-like paint.
• Mixing: shave a bit of powder onto a palette to custom-blend shades.
• Seal: apply a setting or barrier spray to reduce transfer and increase moisture resistance.

Will this hold up under stage lights and long performances?

StarBlend is formulated to perform in demanding conditions; its concentrated pigments and stage-grade binder make it durable under heat, sweat, and bright lighting. For extended wear and minimal transfer, finish with Mehron Barrier Spray or a compatible setting product.

• Designed for stage and screen use with proven longevity.
• High pigment density minimizes multiple touch-ups.
• Works with setting sprays to resist moisture and friction.
• Removes easily with soap and water after performance.

How can I create blends, highlights, or special FX with this black cake?

Black StarBlend is a foundation for contouring, shading, and creating high-contrast effects. Blend it with other Mehron colors for gradients, thin with water for wash effects, or layer it over base tones for dramatic shadows and lines.

• Use dry for subtle contouring and smudged shadows.
• Use wet for crisp liner work, silhouettes, and graphic details.
• Mix with white or skin tones to tint and create midtones.
• Shave and blend on a palette for body-paint mixes and airbrush-friendly bases.

Is this safe for sensitive skin and easy to remove?

Mehron formulates StarBlend with performance and safety in mind, used professionally for decades. It’s non-cruelty-tested and suitable for face and body when applied to clean, intact skin; remove thoroughly with soap and water or a gentle cleanser.

• Made in the USA with professional-grade ingredients.
• Cruelty-free formulation used across theater and film industries.
