Overview

Discover a versatile creme makeup wheel designed for creative bruise effects. The Ben Nye Master Bruise Wheel EW-4 features a six-color lineup that lets you build depth, tone, and texture with ease. Colors included are Yellow CL-5, Blood Red CL-14, Purple CL-18, Dark Burgundy FX-5, Midnight Violet FX-7, and Sallow Green FX-11. The smooth, pigmented formula applies evenly and blends seamlessly, helping you craft everything from subtle shadows to more dramatic complexion details. Each wheel weighs 1 ounce, offering a compact option for on-location shoots, theater runs, or busy makeup stations.

Color versatility is at the core of this wheel. Warm yellows can serve as base tones, reds and violets add mid-tones and depth, while greens help create cooler edges and contour effects.

This is a practical choice for artists who prefer a single, cohesive color set to support multiple characters or scenes.
