At Stage Makeup, we’re proud to offer the full range of Skin Illustrator products—an essential brand for professional makeup artists working in film, television, theatre, cosplay, and special effects. Developed by award-winning artist Kenny Myers, Skin Illustrator has become the go-to choice for high-performance, alcohol-activated makeup that delivers unmatched realism and durability.
What Is Skin Illustrator?
Skin Illustrator is a professional-grade, alcohol-activated makeup system designed for creating everything from subtle complexion adjustments to dramatic special effects. The pigments are activated using 99% isopropyl alcohol or Skin Illustrator’s own Activator, allowing for precise control over color intensity and transparency. Once applied, the makeup is water-resistant, smudge-proof, and long-lasting—even under intense lighting and challenging conditions.
Why Choose Skin Illustrator?
Versatility: Suitable for use on skin, foam latex, gelatin, plastic, and silicone appliances.
Realism: Colors blend seamlessly into the skin, providing a natural appearance ideal for high-definition media.
Durability: Once set, the makeup resists water and abrasion, requiring minimal touch-ups.
Safety: Manufactured under strict FDA regulations, all products are vegan and cruelty-free.
