Turn heads this Halloween with the BADCOLOR Dark Purple Face & Body Paint Stick – a creamy, high-pigment SFX makeup crayon made for bold characters and dramatic detail. Whether you’re transforming into a vampire, zombie, joker, mime, or monster, this richly pigmented stick glides on effortlessly for intense, lasting colour.
Made with an oil-based, matte cream formula, this face paint delivers waterproof coverage that won’t fade halfway through your night. It’s perfect for face, eyes, and body—and thanks to its twist-up stick design, it’s portable, easy to apply, and mess-free.
Vegan and non-toxic, this stick is safe for most skin types, though we always recommend a patch test before use. It’s ideal for Halloween, cosplay events, SFX makeup, sports face paint, or any costume party where colour, performance, and comfort matter.
What This Product is Used For
Applying bold purple colour to face, body, or eyes for costume and SFX looks
Creating characters like goths, vampires, clowns, zombies, or fantasy creatures
Detailing special effects makeup for stage, cosplay, or Halloween events
Drawing stripes, under-eye smears, or face patterns for sports and fan makeup
Why We Like This Product – Reviewed by the YPC Team
During our Halloween SFX workshops at YPC, we used this dark purple stick to create eerie, layered bruises and villain-style shading, and it looked stunning under all kinds of lighting. The stick glided smoothly, and the deep purple tone added serious impact to zombie and vampire looks. We also liked how compact it was—easy to carry and apply on the go. Just don’t skip setting spray—because it’s oil-based, it stays creamy unless sealed.
Pros & Cons
Pros:
✔️ Bold, dark purple colour ideal for Halloween and cosplay
✔️ Oil-based formula for smooth blending and full coverage
✔️ Twist-up crayon design – no mess, no brushes required
✔️ Sweatproof and water-resistant when set
✔️ Vegan, cruelty-free, and non-toxic
Cons:

Tips for Best Results
Use fingers or a sponge to blend out for gradients and bruising effects
Always apply setting powder or setting spray to lock it in, especially for body use
Layer with black or white paint for depth and contrast
Avoid using near eyes without patch testing first
Store upright in a cool place to preserve shape and texture
Alternatives Worth Considering
Mehron Purple CreamBlend Stick – Rich colour and stage-grade quality, but bulkier to carry
Moon Creations Purple Face Paint Stick – Easier to remove, but less pigment and staying power
Snazaroo Purple Face Paint – Water-based and better for children, but not ideal for long wear or detail

We love Halloween so much that we have themed our kids' party rooms at our Outdoor Activity Park. Our favourite room is our "Walking Dead" themed Zombie Party Room.
But we also run events as well as sell Halloween products.
Why not try our "Zombie Uprising " event? You play the part of a special forces operative with missions to save the world from a Zombie Horde, but with real actors running around the map, dressed as Zombies, they will do all they can to stop you.
