TgR Wall Forums M2F Toolkit Makeup Comparing Kryolan and Dermablend

  • Comparing Kryolan and Dermablend

    Posted by Anonymous on 22/12/2004 at 11:44 pm

    Currently I use Kryolan but I’m thinking of trying Dermablend. The trouble is they receomment their fixer and their remover with the cover creme which triples the cost.

    Can anyone who uses Dermablend tell me whether either the fixer and remover are esssential? Or can you get away with other powders and makeup removers?

    love Fiona

    Hi Fiona, I have seen information on Dermablend before but have never seen reference to Kryolan. Can you tell me how to research it and where to purchase discreetly. Sorry I cant help with advice but I am seeking advice instead.

    Hi Jennifer,

    Kryolan is a brand of professional stage makeup. It comes in a brand called Dermacolour. It works well covering beard shadow.

    I bought mine from Trigend but, at the time it was also available through Drag Bag – but both of these local tranny suppliers have gone – but I think you will find it locally through stage and wedding makeup suppliers.

    love Fiona

    Hi Girls
    Kryolyn and Dermablend are much of a muchness
    Kryolan you can obtain from Showface in the City (somewhere under the bridge south side) they are really helpful and tranny friendly

    Dermablend you can obtain from I think its Terry White Chemist in Westfield Parramatta (Level4?)

    They have a specific Dermablend consultant who is quite helpful also

    Girls DONT SAY ITS FOR THE WIFE OK

    Discreetly say yes its for me

    Ask to try it on your face

    The consultant is there to sell makeup and also to help your selection.
    I went in boy mode and had only helpful service

    She may be a little standoffish to start but generally most makeup people are very tranny friendly

    I use dermablend as a beard cover then kryolyn stick makeup with any setting powder.

    Hope this helps

    Hi Ladies,
    I have been searching for Dermablend & Kryolan make up ever since i found out about it. I found a place in Melbourne where they sell this make up and also hair products etc. They are a wholesaler to the trade and to the public, located on North Rd Oakleigh, between Huntingdale & Clayton Rd’s.
    The web address is http://www.johnwurzel.com.au
    all the details and info are on the site

    Hope this helps someone :)

    Yes, thank you Tianna. That’s very good information and it looks like they are setting up an on line shop too – like Orbis for Dermablend.

    Have you tried both products? What do you think?

    I have tried both now and as Shanalee said they are much the same but I feel Kryolan adheres better to the skin. When I use Dermablend [which is a better colour match] and setting powder then apply blush and powder with brushes the Dermablend still seems to move. And it doesn’t look as perfect as I’d like.

    Am I doing something wrong?

    Not a problem Fiona.
    Actually i havent tried both products, however you have given me a wealth of information, so Thank you! I know now that Kryolan would most probably be better than Dermablend.
    Will be going to buy some this week and will let you know the cost of the make up.
    By the way Fiona, you look lovely :)

    Thank you for the URL Tianna. Fiona and Tianna I have emailed for a product list for Krylon and as soon as I receive it I will let you both know, if interested.

    Hello Ladies,

    I am aware of another online shop here in Australia. Try looking at
    “www.showface.com.au” they sell both the Kryolan and Derma products.

    Speak soon :-)

    Thank you Frances.

    Looks like a very good place for Kryolan and other concealer products. Can’t Dermablend. The Derma stuff mentioned looks like the Dermacolor Kryolan products.

    But good place.
