The Orange Stipple Sponge is a soft, aerated open-cell sponge used by professional makeup artists to create realistic mottled skin textures for SFX and character work. Its irregular surface deposits product unevenly, mimicking the natural variation of skin — ideal for building convincing bruising, blood effects, grime, dirt and five o'clock shadow directly onto the skin. Softer than a standard stipple sponge, the orange variety produces more subtle, blendable results — making it well suited to effects that need to read naturally on camera rather than on stage. Compatible with a wide range of SFX and cream products including Supracolor, Aquacolor and body paints and alcohol activated palettes.
