Learn more about Ben Nye

Ben Nye Makeup Company is a leader in face painting colors. The Ben Nye Company was started in 1967 by Ben Nye Sr. after he retired as the head of the makeup department at 20th Century Fox. Throughout his career, Ben Nye worked on some of the most well loved movies like Miracle on 34th Street in 1947 and The King and I in 1956. His passion for creating his own colors began on the set of Gone with the Wind in 1939. There he began formulating his own face colors for the African-American actors on the set because face colors for dark skin were not commercially available at the time.

Ben Nye passed on his company to his son, Dana Nye, who is now CEO and is following in his father’s tradition with a passion for innovation and excellence. One of its most famous clients today is the extravagant Cirque du Soleil. Ben Nye Makeup Company has an extensive palette of colors in creams and powders all mixed and made in the company’s manufacturing plant in Los Angeles and all created with the highest safety and quality in mind. Ben Nye continues to create the highest quality face paint colors for all designs and all skin tones.

Too firm

The sponge density were too firm one the first use. I tried to wash them to get them to soften but they are too rigid for the face. I have the pink fusion sponges that are great and I thought these were about the same. I was a disappointed when I used them. I might end up not using them anymore since I had to push too hard on the cake and on the kid’s face to apply colors…

We're sorry to hear the sponges were too firm and didn’t meet your expectations. We understand disappointment. We’ll pass your feedback along to Fusion. Thank you!

very tight rainbow

I am an amateur but I've seen it done so I used a flat brush and made some curved rainbows. They turned out very precise and tight - not necessarily what I was going for the kids seemed to love it. Bright clean colors.

Facepaint.com order

The order arrived in about a week as I'd ordered on a Saturday. Everything was packed well with no broken parts. As a beginning face painter, it's nice to be able to try out small pallets to see what I like. I've used Kraze product at four events so far and am pleased with them. I have found that the pearl Unicorn Shimmer split cake seems to be best used with a Splash sponge, it's far to soft to use with a brush (unless I'm missing a trick here-- I'm open to suggestions!), but it makes beautiful butterfly wings and princess crown bases with a teardrop sponge. So far so good!

Krazefx white

A staple in my kit .

Bliss is my favorite!

I love this cake the best of all the cakes. It’s So BRIGHT and just the perfect colors

Way better than anything you'd buy from major retailers and washed out easy. Didn't stain sink or counter tops. Made in Germany

Great color, and made in the USA. Will order from facepaint again!

Fantastic stuff and made in the great USA!

all you need basic colors

Love that you can buy refills for this set. Also the colors are all bright and show well on all skin tones

all you need

the perfect set. there is an option for everything.
100% worth the investment!

good

it works well on skin, was delivered quickly and is true to shade. it is a little see through with the first coat but a second looks pretty solid. it doesn’t transfer easily but i also put baby powder on just incase and for the most part it stayed on. sweating will take it off though.

Perfect colour

Colour and Consistency- perfect. Durability on the skin.

Amazing products and amazing the colors

very nice products and beautiful. Quickly transported

blazin brush success

I received my brushes the day before a big event, so did not have time to practice, but boy did they perform. The tips stayed nice and pointy. I was able to make dots, outlines star bursts and tear drops very consistently. That made them worth the price. They wound up being my go to.

Slightly awkward on small foreheads but great otherwise

I tried this on a 5 year old today and it sort of worked but wasn’t easy to get it to lay flat so part of the bat was distorted but it still looked cute overall. Works perfectly on an older kid/large forehead though

Great for Halloween theme

I used this on Halloween designs and it was pretty, the only thing I’ll say is I didn’t realize this brand is water based so it will smudge the paint if in contact with it

great product

can't wait to order a few other colors

My absolute favorite

I will never get another glitter again. I have bought these in every color. Can’t tell you the delight on my princesses glittered up faces. Just so pretty!

Best neon pink!

Just so gorgeous and bright!! When I use a sponge that’s when it goes in bright. With a brush a little less so but I haven’t found a better pink yet

WOW

I'm so happy with this palette!
Love all of the color combinations.
It even came with 2 brushes and a bonus cake.

Nice product

First try with GTX. I love the rectangle cake, easy to make rainbow cakes or onestrokes.
The only down side in my opinion is the size of the box. It's very big but half empty and hard to store.

Vibrant and smooth

These are bright and beautifully pigmented. Love the case. These small sets great way to test out alot of colors at one time without making commitment. There's at least 8 of 12 I want a larger size of.

Great product

Works just as expected. The kids love it

Love it

Now in my top 3 one stroke colors

Accidentally got this because it was “close “ to a color I was looking for.. .So beautiful!! It has a shimmer color in the middle of the teal/ blue which makes it stunning for mermaid tails, feathers, crowns, frozen etc.
