CreamBlend Stick - Really Bright Red

If I could give this minus 3 stars or worse I would. This has got to be the worst makeup I have EVER used!! I'm a makeup artiste and there is NO Way to get this stuff to apply evenly and have a smooth texture. It's just impossible. I have really good skin - no wrinkles, no blemishes, really smooth texture and no visible pores. I tried various combinations of primers, serums, moisturisers, powdered over primer and/or moisturiser before applying it, no moisturiser, no primer, applied with brush, tried to buff in, damp beauty blender, dry makeup sponges and no matter what I did, it still looks like night of the living dead, ends up splotchy. patchy and just unworkable. I've known of Mehron for years. It's an old school brand of theatrical makeup from decades ago, that I just never touched or consider using it even in theatrical productions because they were always such bad formulations. Unfortunately the pigments and blend of this makeup performs like that same antiquated theatrical grease paint. Imagine if you took a lot of white pigment and mixed it into vaseline, tried to apply it and that's just about the texture you get with this garbage! I can't believe they get away with selling this, or that anybody would ever repeat buy this after trying it. Simply DREADFUL!

I recently joined a black metal band and wanted to get into the kvlt spirit on stage. This foundation did the trick perfectly. You do need to put on quite a lot for that matte white coverage and definitely some setting powder to stop it smudging but for the price it does what you need. I wouldn't recommend wearing it for long periods of time as it is a little greasy but for a 30 minute set its perfect.

Used for corpse paint for black metal band. It does the trick, and it's not too bothersome to remove.

Dressed up as a half orc with this a lot. Putting down a primer, then your skin foundation and then this on top, absolutely perfect.

I've had trouble working with this. I bought a mehron setting powder to go with it. The cream stick doesn't go on opaque and you have to set it with the powder before doing anything else, and that powder goes EVERYWHERE. Do not use over carpet! Overall, it's white, it cracks on your face, you definitely can't use it on eyelids, and the layer of white isn't opaque. At least once it's on it doesn't shift until you wash it off.
