Face and Body Paint
Whether attending a fancy dress party, a cosplay convention or your recipient just enjoys regularly practising their skills and technique, body paint is an essential part of executing an impressionable final result. At Funky Lenses, we stock two of the most reputable brands in the industry; Mehron and Paintglow. Known for their vibrant pigment, long-lasting quality and ease of application, the Mehron and Paintglow products provide a reliable experience for SFX artists.
Within our collection of Paintglow body paints you will find both UV-reactive and glow-in-the-dark products. The perfect brand for any raver or party-goer as these formulas allow the wearer to stand out amongst the crowd! This popular brand is all about its colour. The strong pigment creates long-lasting results so no one needs to worry about smudging in the crowd! Find Paintglow in a range of different product types including the easy-to-use paint sticks, perfect for intricate designs and adding the final details.
You’ll also find a selection of high-quality Mehron SFX face and body paint within our range. Mehron is a well-known and very popular brand used in the industry. Known for its vibrantly pigmented products, smooth application and long-lasting results, many choose Mehron makeup as their go-to. With a variety of products such as the single Colour Cups to the versatile Paradise Makeup palette in three different colour themes, at Funky Lenses we stock all the professional body paint that you need to bring any character makeup to life!
Fake Blood
We couldn’t stock SFX makeup without a bit of blood! Adding a drop or smear of blood is the perfect way to give your makeup and costume an eerie and possibly disturbing aesthetic. Fake blood makeup is essential for so many Halloween costumes; zombie, vampire, werewolf, and many more! At Funky Lenses, we stock a variety of different realistic fake blood types from Paintglow and Mehron.
The Mehron Stage Blood is available in two different sizes and is a syrup-based formula. It has a sticky consistency that does not completely dry when applied, giving it that glossy and realistic look. Find this blood in both Bright Arterial and Dark Venous. Alongside this popular form of Mehron fake blood, we also stock the famous Squirt Blood in both Dark Venous and Bright Arterial as well as the blood spray for a true slasher effect.
The Paintglow Fake Blood is a water-based formula; this allows it to be easily applied and manipulated to create realistic results such as clotting. Their formulas are also quick-drying so there’s no need to worry about smudging the creative work at a party or event! The Paintglow blood is available in a 50ml and 12ml bottle; you will also find the Paintglow Fake Blood Spray available at Funky Lenses, a great option to use not just on your skin and costume but also to bloody up any props and accessories you might have on you!
Contact Lens Accessories
Are you gifting someone who enjoys experimenting with different contact lenses? If that’s the case, at Funky Lenses we stock all they will need to be prepared for their next transformation and to properly look after their lenses when not in use. When purchasing contact lenses, certain steps should be taken to ensure the lenses are comfortable to wear and how to maintain them so they remain sterile after use. Here’s what every lens wearer should have alongside their contacts.
A contact lens solution and a contact lens case are essential! Contact lenses are delivered in either a blister pack or glass vial submerged in a sterile solution; this liquid has a much higher concentration than a multipurpose solution and can irritate the eye. The lenses should be removed from their blister pack or vial and soaked in a multi-purpose contact lens solution within a sterile lens case; the lens should be left for at least 2 hours before use. The Funky Lenses All In One Solution & Case is the perfect way to begin any journey using contact lenses, whether prescription or for cosmetic purposes.
Other accessories that may come in handy include a contact lens inserter and washer case. Everyone has different ways of inserting their contact lenses and for some, using their finger just isn’t the easiest; the Funky Lenses Contact Lens Silicone Inserter Wand is a useful tool that features a suction pad to grab the lens from the case and gently insert it into the eye. Not only is this a safe and easy option for inserting lenses at home, but it also makes a great travel accessory! To ensure optimum hygiene when working with contact lenses, it is especially important to wash your lens after each use. We offer two different options at Funky Lenses, the Spinning Barrel Washer Case or, for those who enjoy a cute accessory, the Cactus Washer Case. Make washing the lenses so much easier with the help of these contact lens washer cases; designed to remove any debris and bacteria, these tools provide a high level of cleanliness so that the multi-day lenses are safe for their next use.
Finally, for those travelling with their contact lenses, whether it be a cosplay convention or for work, the Funky Contact Lens Travel Case Kit holds all the essentials for the safe storage of lenses and it even includes safe contact lens tweezers for easy removal. Available in three different colours, this kit will make being on the road much easier for your contact lens wearer!
With this gifting guide, you could put together everything an SFX makeup artist requires for an easy, safe and positive experience with their contact lenses. Put together a bundle of all the essentials or pick up the necessities; with the Funky Lenses contact lens accessories, you’ll provide a gift that is both enjoyable and useful!
