Colour Cake Foundations

The timeless Colour Cake Foundations are formulated with water activated ingredients that hydrate into a creamy foundation, offering a refined, matte finish for face and body. Foundations provide light to medium translucent coverage and can be layered for more opacity. 

Colour Cakes (also commonly referred to as “pancake makeup”) apply wet, then set as they dry, requiring no setting powder. They are ideal for body, beauty, character, dance, theatre, cosplay and stage makeup. Once dry, you can add any powder based makeup over the top.

Colours within this range are designed to match the Character Creme Foundations.

28gm./1oz.

Expect 25-100 applications.

Colours with a * after their name have been discontinued by Ben Nye but are still in stock.

With a damp synthetic sponge or sea sponge, work the cake foundation into a creamy consistency with water or Liquiset. Rehydrate sponge as needed.

Apply to skin in manageable sections, stippling or patting for consistent coverage. Prime clean skin with a toner to remove excess oil if needed.

As the foundation starts to dry, buff with hands or a brush to even out texture. Once foundation is completely dry, remove any excess makeup.

For added durability, spray with Final Seal once finished.

Gently remove with makeup remover.

Discontinue use if irritation or excessive dryness occurs.
