Description

The Skin Illustrator 1853 Palette was specially created for the film '12 Years a Slave', at the request of the Makeup Department Head, Ma Kalaadevi Ananda. This palette includes a unique custom color, Violet, and was designed to meet the specific needs of the film's makeup team. The palette was so well-received on set that even lead actor Chiwetel Ejiofor requested one as a keepsake.

The palette naturally evolved from the need to work with dark skin tones, allowing makeup artists to balance colors effectively. It includes 10 mixed-color hues that were used to create the desired effects on brown and black-skinned actors. The palette was praised for its ability to withstand the heat and humidity of New Orleans, maintaining color integrity throughout the day.

Both Director Steve McQueen and actress Lupita Nyong’o acknowledged the Makeup Department's contributions in their Oscar speeches, highlighting the palette's significance in the film's production.

Instructions

To activate the color pigment, use Skin Illustrator Activator, Skin Illustrator Slow Activator, or 99% alcohol. Do not use 70% alcohol, MEK, acetone, water, or any other solvent.

Apply the colors with a brush, sponge, or mascara wand. You can use the colors alone or mix them with other Skin Illustrator tones to create unique blends.

For removal, use Telesis Super Solv or Telesis Makeup Remover.

Note: Due to the high pigment content and lack of unnecessary fillers, any cracks, bubbles, or shrunken appearance in dried color cells do not affect the product's quality or performance.
