Ben Nye

GRIME FX COAL - DIRT POWDER

£9.95
  • Authentic Weathering Shades: Coal: charcoal black to replicate soot, oil, grime & charred distressing effects.
  • Versatile Dry or Wet Application: Apply dry for subtle mists of dust, or mix with water/glycerin to create realistic grease.
  • Micro Fine Texture: Clings effortlessly to skin contours, hair strands & costume fibres without caking or clumping artificially.
  • Camera Ready Realism: Non reflective finish looks authentic under high-def 4K lenses & harsh theatrical lights.
  • Easy Cleanup: Washes off skin & hair with warm water & mild soap. Brushes/ washes out of most wardrobe fabrics (test on delicate garments first).

Achieve hyper realistic character weathering, costume distressing and post trauma environment effects with Ben Nye Grime FX Dirt Powder.

Formulated with a micro fine, ultra blendable texture, these specialised character powders allow Make Up Artists and wardrobe stylists to simulate authentic field grime, fire fallout, and industrial filth on skin, hair, prosthetics and fabrics.

To suit every production environment and character backstory, Ben Nye Grime FX Dirt Powder is available in three distinct, realistic shades:

  • Plains Dust: A warm, golden-tan earth tone engineered to replicate dry soil, desert dust, and dried clay. Ideal for westerns, outdoor survivalists, military desert camouflage, road worn travellers and dusty trail distressing.

  • Ash Powder: A pale, neutral grey powder designed to mimic wood ash, volcanic fallout, building debris and fire residue. Perfect for explosion survivors, chimney sweeps, urban ruin scenes and smoke damaged wardrobe FX.

  • Coal: A deep, intense charcoal black powder formulated to simulate heavy soot, motor oil grime and charred burn damage. Essential for mechanics, coal miners, industrial workers, blast charring and greasy engine filth.

Apply dry using a powder puff or stipple brush for fine dustings, or mix with water, glycerin, or gel to transform the powders into realistic wet muds, pastes, and grease buildup.

Provides approximately 10-20 applications per ounce.
