If you’re planning a jaw-dropping Halloween look or crafting a character for cosplay or stage, the UCANBE Athena Face & Body Paint Palette has every colour you need – and then some. With 20 bold, blendable oil-based shades packed into a sleek, travel-friendly case, this kit is built for creative makeup artists and costume lovers who want intense colour payoff and a smooth, skin-friendly formula.
From metallics like gold and silver, to bold primary colours, deep earth tones, and classic black and white, this palette lets you mix, layer, and detail your makeup into almost any look you can dream up – bruises, blood, mythical creatures, fantasy warriors, skeletons, aliens, and more.

Why We Like This Product – Reviewed by the YPC Team
At Yorkshire Outdoor Activity Park, we host everything from spooky night trails to themed costume events, and our team loves the UCANBE Athena Palette for its versatility. We’ve used it to create vampires, forest nymphs, clowns, and bruised-up zombies – and the colours stay bold all night. The gold and silver add a metallic edge you don’t usually get in face paints, and the oil base means it doesn’t dry out or crack halfway through the night. It’s a must-have in our Halloween artist box!

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.
