The Skin Illustrator 1853 Palette (previously named 12 Years a Slave) was custom created exclusively for Ma Kalaadevi Ananda for her work on 12 Years a Slave.  Nominated for nine Academy Awards and winner for best picture, 12 Years a Slave  presented some unique challenges for Makeup Department Head kalaadevi, her makeup key, Nick London and the rest of the crew.

The 1853 Palette is also available in the smaller On Set size.

Palette contains: Aged Blood, Black, Capillary, Chocolate, Espresso 2, French Qtr Fuschia, Midnight Brown, Purple Justice, Ultra Blue, and Violet.

The colours can easily be applied with a brush, mascara wand, or sponge. Use it alone, or mix the colours with any of the other Skin Illustrator tones to create your own unique blend of colour.

You must use Skin Illustrator Activator or 99% alcohol to activate the colour pigment. Do not use 70% alcohol, MEK, acetone, water or any other solvent. Removal is simple with PPI’s Telesis Beta Solv, Telesis Super Solv or Telesis Makeup Remover.

Due to the high pigment content and lack of unnecessary fillers in the Skin Illustrator colour system, cracks, bubbles and any shrunken appearance that may occur in some dried colour cells does not affect the quality or performance of the product in any way.
