Details
The wet n wild Fantasy Makers Aliens Attack collection features 32 new individual items for Halloween 2026, with every product priced under $10 and many costing just $5. The extraterrestrial-themed collection includes lip products, eye makeup, face paints, glitter, blush, gems, and other accessories for creating alien-inspired Halloween makeup looks with drugstore products.
There was no official release date announced for the collection. Shoppers began spotting small displays in August 2026, around the same time as the wet n wild Hershey collection appeared at CVS and Walgreens. The collection gradually rolled out to other retailers, with Walmart’s larger in-store display arriving later.
Wondering where to buy the wet n wild Fantasy Makers Aliens Attack collection? Availability varied by retailer. Walmart carried the full collection in stores, although its online selection was more limited. The wet n wild website offered most, but not all, of the products before putting many of them on sale, and much of the selection has since sold out. CVS had a small in-store display and a broader online selection, though not every item was available. Walgreens also had a small in-store display, with no online selection, while Amazon carried only a handful of products. The nail stickers were unavailable at all of these retailers (more on that later!).
You may notice that some products are “missing” from this review because they have appeared in previous years’ Fantasy Makers collections. I typically skip repurchasing returning items, but you can find their reviews by using the search bar in the menu above. I’ve also linked my reviews of past collections at the bottom of this article for easy reference.
This is my first year purchasing the paints and glitters. Although most of the paint products aren’t new to the collection, they’re new additions to me, so I’ve included reviews of them here.

- Paint Palettes
- Rainbow
- Smokey
- Paint Pot in UV White
- Glitter Gel in Bone Zone
- Chameleon Chrome Lip Foil in Nymph’s Whisper
- Eye & Face Palette

Lip Color
The wet n wild Fantasy Makers Lip Color comes in three bold shades: Star-Spurred, Alien Aura, and Toxic Charm. This is their typical awesome lipstick formula, delivering full coverage with bold, bright color and a satin finish. The creamy texture applies almost like paint, making it a great choice when you want your lip color to stand out.
The formula doesn’t dry down, so you’ll need to reapply as needed throughout the day. However, it holds on well between applications, fades evenly, and feels comfortable without drying out your lips. If you want intense color for your Halloween makeup look, these lipsticks deliver.
Claims: This creamy lipstick delivers rich, high-impact color with a single swipe, leaving lips with a smooth satin finish. The full-coverage formula glides on easily, while conditioning ingredients help keep lips feeling soft and comfortable throughout wear.

Toxic Charm
Soft Blur Liquid Lipstick
The wet n wild Fantasy Makers Soft Blur Liquid Lipstick comes in three shades: Starfall Dust, Gravity Kiss, and Cosmic Vice. The formula has a velvety matte finish with a slightly thicker consistency that feels comfortable and lightweight on the lips. It doesn’t dry down, so you can reapply as needed, and it layers well without feeling heavy.
This isn’t a full-coverage liquid lipstick, and the color only builds to a certain extent. However, that’s part of what gives it that soft, blotted, lived-in look with a slightly blurred finish. It also doesn’t dry out the lips, and the color fades gracefully without becoming patchy, leaving some pigment behind at the end of the day.
The packaging and applicator will look familiar if you’ve used the wet n wild Liquid Catsuit line before. It’s a tried-and-true design that’s easy to work with. While these shades are perfect for Halloween makeup, their fall-inspired colors are wearable year-round, giving you more opportunities to reach for them beyond October.
Claims: This lightweight liquid lipstick gives lips a soft-focus effect with buildable color and a subtle, light-reflecting sheen. Its cushiony texture helps smooth the look of lips, creating a blurred finish that feels comfortable to wear.

Peel-Off Lip Stain
The wet n wild Fantasy Makers Peel-Off Lip Stain is a new formula for the brand. I always test lip products on clean, dry lips and wear them on their own, so keep in mind that I haven’t tried these layered underneath other lip products.
Unfortunately, both shades dried out my lips, and application was more challenging than I expected. I had trouble getting the color to adhere evenly in certain areas, and the product did not want to stick to some areas. If you have a few little bits of product along the outer edges of the lips you can scrape them away with a spoolie.
Stellar Sin was easier to spread than the other shade, and the color was more visible on my lips. However, I still had trouble getting the formula to stick to certain areas, and dabbing on more product sometimes lifted the stain instead of filling in the gaps. I also ended up with that uneven staining effect, leaving a darker line around the center of my mouth. It did leave a pretty subtle red behind.
The stain faded pretty well throughout the day. After eating cereal, drinking hot coffee, and having a sandwich, the color had worn down. I wonder whether some of my application issues came down to user error, but the formula definitely takes some patience to work with.
Astral Allure was much harder to apply. The formula felt thick, and I had to dip back into the product several times to cover both my upper and lower lips. It wouldn’t adhere to certain areas, and trying to layer more over those spots lifted the existing coverage, so I had to keep working at it.
The color itself was another issue. Astral Allure is a brown with a hint of pink, but the finish was so sheer that it competed with my natural lip color, making it difficult to see. Meanwhile, the stain developed into a very dark brown on the inner part of my lips, leaving me with a noticeable ring that looked pretty terrible.
After drinking coffee and eating cereal, the already subtle color had almost completely disappeared. Some of that dark inner ring faded, but it honestly made the uneven result look even worse. I ended up applying gloss because I couldn’t stand how my lips looked.
Overall, I’m not completely sold on this formula. Lip stains are something I prefer to use as insurance underneath lipstick or another lip color, rather than relying on them to look good on their own. I may have better luck using these as a lip liner stain instead of applying them across my entire lips, but based on my experience, don’t expect an effortless, even application or a comfortable, hydrating feel.
Claims: This peel-off lip stain creates a customizable wash of color, ranging from a subtle, just-bitten tint to a bolder lip look. The lightweight liquid formula applies smoothly and peels away once dry, leaving a stain behind. Wear it on its own or layer it with other lip products to create different looks, from everyday color to Halloween makeup.

Chameleon Chrome Lip Foil in Orbit Obsession
The wet n wild Fantasy Makers Chameleon Chrome Lip Foil in Orbit Obsession is the only new shade this year, while the other shade is a repeat from last year’s Fantasy Makers Forsaken Forest collection. This metallic lip gloss has a thicker consistency without feeling heavy or sticky, and it doesn’t dry out the lips. The applicator is easy to control, making precise application around the lip line much simpler.
The color shift is stunning, with a noticeable green tone that makes this shade stand out. Despite being a gloss, it doesn’t bleed outside the lip line, which is something I’ve experienced with some shades from the permanent collection.
Transfer is expected with a gloss like this, but the color payoff holds up surprisingly well. Even after eating and drinking carefully I could still see plenty of the metallic finish and base color left on my lips at the end of the day. If you want to see the full permanent line I go in great detail in my wet n wild Chameleon Chrome Lip Foil review.
Claims: This limited-edition lip color features a multi-dimensional, shifting finish that catches the light from different angles. The smooth, non-sticky formula glides onto the lips for comfortable wear, delivering layered color and shimmer with an eye-catching effect.

Chameleon Chrome Eyeshadow Foil in Starlit Outlaw
The wet n wild Fantasy Makers Chameleon Chrome Eyeshadow Foil in Starlit Outlaw adds another shade to the brand’s existing permanent line of metallic eyeshadow foils, although this shade is limited edition. The formula consists of actual metallic foil flakes rather than a smooth cream or liquid eyeshadow, so application takes a different approach.
I recommend using a flat eyeshadow brush and pressing the product onto the lid with patting motions. It tends to stick to your fingers, and blending isn’t really an option because wherever you press the foil, it stays. The finished look is intentionally messy and textured, making this more of an accent product than an eyeshadow for creating a seamless, blended look. Try patting it onto the center of the eyelid as a finishing touch over another eyeshadow look.
Once it dries down, the foil stays in place without creasing or budging throughout the day. It does leave a dry, stiff feeling on the eyelid, but I didn’t find it particularly bothersome. I also didn’t experience the flaking that I’ve encountered with some shades from the permanent line. I detail the permanent line in my wet n wild Chameleon Chrome Eye Foil review.
My biggest concern with this formula is how quickly it can dry out in the pot. Even with the protective inner lid kept in place, a pot from the permanent line that I hadn’t touched in a year was completely dry. Another pot that had been open for around four months was still usable, so the drying seems to happen somewhere between those time frames. Make sure you keep the protective inner lid in place, but be aware that it may not prevent the product from drying out over time.
Claims: This multi-chromatic eyeshadow foil features reflective flakes that shift between different hues as they catch the light. The high-impact finish adds noticeable color and shimmer with a small amount of product, while the self-adhering formula helps the flakes stay in place on the eyelids. Apply with a finger or a flat brush to create an eye-catching metallic accent.

Shimmer Liquid Eyeliner
The wet n wild Fantasy Makers Shimmer Liquid Eyeliner comes in three shades: Martian Muse, Galaxy Grift, and Close Encounter. The packaging will look familiar from past collections, and the formula delivers the metallic finish and noticeable color payoff you’d expect. The shades can be layered to build up the intensity without erasing the previous layer, which is helpful when creating more detailed Halloween makeup designs.
You’ll need to dip back into the product frequently, especially when working on larger designs or intricate details. Once applied, the eyeliners last all day. Martian Muse, the purple shade, is the weakest of the three in terms of pigmentation and takes more effort to build up to the desired intensity. The other shades offer a more straightforward application when you want a bold, metallic pop of color.
Claims: This glitter liquid eyeliner adds a sparkling, dimensional finish with buildable color. The felt-tip applicator makes it easy to create precise lines, while the quick-drying formula helps keep your look in place. Apply a single stroke for a pop of shimmer or layer it for more intense color.

Paint Palette
The wet n wild Fantasy Makers Paint Palette comes in two options: Smokey and Rainbow. These palettes are returning from last year’s collection, but this is my first time trying them, so I’m sharing my experience from a beginner’s perspective with oil-based face paints.
The formula is easy to blend and mix, making it simple to customize colors and create vibrant Halloween makeup looks. I applied the paints with a dry, disposable wedge sponge, but I think they would work well with fingers, brushes, or other sponges, too. I didn’t test them with makeup brushes, rather, paint brushes, because I was concerned about potential staining.
The colors are vibrant, and the paint held up well without cracking, creasing, or fading during wear. It didn’t stain my skin after a few hours, although I noticed a little staining after wearing it for more than 12 hours. Set these paints with plenty of translucent powder to help keep your finished look in place.
Claims: This six-shade paint palette features vibrant colors in a variety of finishes for creating bold Halloween makeup looks. The creamy formula applies smoothly for even coverage, with rich pigmentation in a single swipe. Use a brush or your fingers to apply and blend the shades.

Smokey
Rainbow
Glitter Palette For Eye & Face
The wet n wild Fantasy Makers Glitter Palette for Eye & Face comes in two shades: Haunt The Night and Candy Wasted. These use the brand’s familiar formula of fine glitter suspended in a gel-like base that helps the glitter adhere to the skin.
Unfortunately, this formula has never been my favorite. The glitter doesn’t swatch particularly well, and when applied to the skin, it looks dispersed rather than delivering an intense, impactful sparkle. These two palettes also felt drier than expected, with loose glitter sitting on top of the product. I had to dig my finger into the formula to pick up enough of the gel base to help the glitter stick. If you’re after a bold, concentrated glitter effect for your Halloween makeup, these may require more effort than you’d like.
Claims: These self-adhering glitters add sparkle to Halloween makeup looks with a bold, eye-catching finish. Wear them alone for a glittery accent or layer them over other products for extra dimension. The shades can also be mixed and matched to create custom looks, whether you’re going for subtle festive details or full-on cosmic glam.

Haunt The Night
Candy Wasted
Glow in the Dark Glitter Gel in Extra Terrestrial
The wet n wild Fantasy Makers Glow in the Dark Glitter Gel in Extra Terrestrial is the only new shade this year, while the other glitter gel is a returning shade that isn’t glow in the dark. If you’ve followed my previous Fantasy Makers reviews, you already know I’m a major fan of this glitter gel formula!
These water-based glitter gels dry down comfortably on the skin and last all day. I love using them for accents around the eyes or on the high points of the face when I want to add some sparkle to a Halloween makeup look. Think of this as body glitter for adults, and it’s divine!
Extra Terrestrial stands out from the previous shades because it has a much stronger green pigment. The color reminds me of slime, making it especially fitting for the Aliens Attack theme. I didn’t test whether the shade actually glows in the dark, so I can’t speak to that feature.
The glitter washes off fairly easily, although clear tape can help remove any stubborn particles left behind. Between the comfortable wear, lasting formula, and vibrant green color, this is a standout addition to the collection.
Claims: This glitter gel features a UV-activated effect that becomes visible under a black light. The self-adhering formula glides onto the skin, dries quickly, and helps keep glitter in place with minimal fallout. Glycerin helps condition the skin and prevent the formula from feeling overly drying.

Face & Body Loose Glitter with Glue Set in Lunar Dust
The wet n wild Fantasy Makers Face & Body Loose Glitter with Glue Set in Lunar Dust comes with chunky glitter and an adhesive designed to help it stay in place. I applied the glue to my face, then used a flat eyeshadow brush to pick up the glitter and gently press it onto the adhesive. A few stray pieces ended up on the floor, but that’s no big deal. The method worked, and my brush stayed free of glue. Using my finger wasn’t ideal because the glitter stuck to my skin, and the extra pressure wasn’t helpful when applying it over the adhesive.
The glitter held up well throughout the day. I wore it for more than 12 hours, and while I’m sure I lost a few pieces along the way, the overall look remained intact. By the end of the day, I could see some peeling around the edges, but I was also inspecting it more closely than the average person would. The glue peeled off in small pieces, taking all the glitter with it, so I wasn’t mad about the removal process. For Halloween costuming, the wear time was perfectly fine, and you can also use the included glue with other glitters, making it more versatile than a one-use set.
Claims: This face and body glitter set features holographic silver sparkle in a mix of reflective shapes for a multidimensional, celestial effect. It includes a peel-off glitter glue to help the glitter adhere to the skin, making it easy to add shimmering accents to Halloween makeup looks. The peel-off formula is designed for comfortable wear and simpler removal.

Color Changing Blush in Velvet Void
The wet n wild Fantasy Makers Color Changing Blush in Velvet Void uses a pH-reactive formula that develops into a lighter watermelon pink on the skin. The color is buildable, making it easy to control the intensity whether you prefer a subtle flush or a bolder blush look. I apply it with a brush, and it doesn’t lift the coverage underneath.
The finish is natural, sitting comfortably between matte and dewy without looking shiny. It mostly dries down, with only the faintest hint of tackiness if you touch your skin, which is barely noticeable.
The packaging is new for wet n wild, although the brand has released this style of blush twice before. Despite the extraterrestrial theme, Velvet Void is wearable enough for everyday makeup, so you can get plenty of use out of it beyond Halloween.
Claims: This color-changing blush adapts on contact with the skin, developing into a personalized-looking flush. The lightweight, creamy formula blends easily and can be built up gradually to achieve your preferred intensity. The pan also features a distinctive cat-eye shimmer design that adds a collectible touch to the packaging.

Cream Blush in Jet-Set Alien
The wet n wild Fantasy Makers Cream Blush in Jet-Set Alien is the only new shade this year, while the other shade is a repeat. This formula first appeared in the wet n wild Disney Villains collection, followed by last year’s Fantasy Makers Forsaken Forest collection and the Winnie the Pooh collection. Jet-Set Alien is a lovely purple that fits the extraterrestrial theme while offering something different from the usual pink and peach blush shades.
The creamy formula is fully blendable and buildable for ultimate control over the color intensity. It doesn’t fully dry down, leaving a slight tackiness on the skin, but the color lasts all day without fading. I love how creamy it is, especially when I want to build up the pigment gradually.
One important application tip: applying this blush directly to my face lifted some of my foundation coverage. I recommend using a brush to apply and blend it instead. You can use whichever tool you prefer, but a brush is my suggestion if you want to preserve the coverage underneath.
Claims: This cream-to-powder blush delivers buildable color in a lightweight formula that blends effortlessly into the skin. Start with one swipe for a soft flush, then layer on more product for a bolder pop of color. The creamy texture transforms into a silky, semi-matte finish that feels comfortable on the skin.

Glow In The Dark Paint Pot
The wet n wild Fantasy Makers Glow In The Dark Paint Pot comes in two shades: UV White and Beam Me Green. The green is the only new shade, although it also appears in the Rainbow Paint Palette. UV White is a returning shade. Both are new to my collection, so I’m reviewing these oil-based paints from a beginner’s perspective.
The formula is easy to blend and mix, making it simple to create custom colors and vibrant Halloween makeup looks. I applied the paints with a dry, disposable wedge sponge, but I think they would work well with fingers, brushes, or other sponges, too. I avoided using makeup brushes because I was concerned about potential staining.
During a few hours of wear, the paints didn’t stain my skin. After wearing them for more than 12 hours, I noticed a little staining. The formula held up well without cracking, creasing, or fading, and the colors remained vibrant. Be sure to set these paints with plenty of translucent powder to help keep your look in place.
Claims: The Paint Pot is a body paint designed for creative Halloween makeup, costumes, and theatrical looks. Its glow-in-the-dark effect adds an extra dimension to your designs, while the formula is intended for easy application and removal. Use it to create bold face and body art for your next otherworldly look.

Beam Me Green
Shimmer Setting Spray in Starboard Glow
The wet n wild Fantasy Makers Shimmer Setting Spray in Starboard Glow comes in the brand’s usual packaging with a fine mister. Be sure to shake it well before spraying to distribute the shimmer evenly.
This setting spray sets makeup while coating your skin in fine green glitter. The particles are noticeable enough that you’ll likely find some in your hair and on your clothes, so keep that in mind when applying it. The green shimmer is fun for creating a glittery Halloween makeup look, but it’s not so intense that you can’t pair it with makeup in other colors.
One thing to note is that this spray sets your makeup but doesn’t extend its wear time. Think of it as a finishing touch for adding a subtle green sparkle rather than a product that will make your makeup last longer. It also does not change the finish of your makeup even though it claims to be mattifying.
Claims: This lightweight setting spray helps set makeup while adding a fine veil of sparkle for a glittery finishing touch. The formula combines a matte finish with fine shimmer, making it a fun option for adding subtle sparkle to your Halloween makeup look.
Rating:
Makeup Body Sponge
The wet n wild Fantasy Makers Makeup Body Sponge has appeared in previous years, but the green color is new and the only reason I purchased it again. As the name suggests, this is an oversized makeup sponge that’s a bit too large for applying foundation to the face with precision. It’s better suited for body makeup or quickly covering larger areas of the face with paint when you want speed over precision.
I’m a major fan of wet n wild’s sponge material. It expands when wet to become super bouncy and soft, absorbs very little product, and is easy to clean. It also gives you the most beautiful blend, making it a great tool for working with face paints and other Halloween makeup products.
The other sponge in the collection, the ghost design, is a returning item from previous years.
Claims: This oversized, teardrop-shaped makeup sponge is designed for applying and blending face and body paints across larger areas. Its hydrophilic material expands and softens when wet, allowing for a softer application, while using it dry provides heavier coverage. Use it to blend pigments, mix colors, and cover more skin quickly when creating bold Halloween makeup looks.
Rating:
Individual Gems
The wet n wild Fantasy Makers Individual Gems come in two designs: Space Oddity and Cosmic Cutie. These face gems adhere surprisingly well over a full face of regular makeup, making them a fun way to add some sparkle and dimension to your Halloween makeup look.
However, application makes a difference. When I tried placing the gems over face paints that had been set with plenty of powder, they didn’t stick well at all. Sweat and humidity may also cause adhesion issues. If you need extra staying power, use a little lash glue to help secure the gems.
These are best treated as a one-time-use accessory. Removing them can lift the makeup underneath, and the adhesive won’t be as effective afterward, so don’t expect to reuse them with the same results.
Claims: These self-adhesive face and body gems make it easy to add sparkle and dimension to your Halloween makeup. Featuring a mix of colors and sizes, the individual gems can be arranged to suit your desired look. No additional glue is needed for application, and they’re designed to be easy to apply and remove.

Space Oddity
Cosmic Cutie
Glitter Body Illuminator in Green
The wet n wild Fantasy Makers Glitter Body Illuminator in Green is the only new shade this year, while the other shade is a repeat from a previous collection. It uses the brand’s water-based formula, which I love, and this version delivers much more pigment than the previous shades I’ve tried.
This illuminator is packed with glitter and has an intense slime-green color that fits the Aliens Attack theme perfectly. The strong green pigment and bold glitter makes it stand out from the brand’s earlier versions, which were less saturated. While it’s a fun addition for creating an extraterrestrial look, I’d reserve this one for costuming rather than everyday makeup.
Claims: This water-based body illuminator adds a shimmering, light-reflecting glow to the skin. Its lightweight formula glides on smoothly and absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy feel. Apply it with a brush or your fingers to highlight your preferred areas, while vitamin E helps moisturize the skin.

Gem Face Mask in Interstellar Icon
The wet n wild Fantasy Makers Gem Face Mask in Interstellar Icon is the only new gem face mask this year, while the remaining designs are repeats from previous collections. This face mask offers a quick way to add a dramatic arrangement of gems to your Halloween makeup look without placing each gem individually.
The gems adhere well over a full face of regular makeup, but sweat and humidity may cause some adhesion issues. I also found that they didn’t stick well when applied over face paints that had been set with plenty of powder. If you need extra staying power, use lash glue to help secure the gems.
Like the individual gems, this is best treated as a one-time-use accessory. Removing the mask can lift the makeup underneath, and the adhesive won’t be as effective afterward, so don’t expect to reuse it with the same results.
Claims: This self-adhesive Gem Face Mask features iridescent gems arranged into a ready-to-wear design for quick, eye-catching Halloween makeup. Simply peel and apply for an instant pop of sparkle, or pair it with individual face gems to customize the look. The mask is designed for easy application and removal, with long-lasting wear.

Nail Stickers
The wet n wild Fantasy Makers Nail Stickers come in two designs: Area 51 Vibes and Boo-Niverse. Unfortunately, these stickers weren’t available through any of the retailers I checked, so I couldn’t purchase them for review and have included images found online instead.
This situation is similar to last year’s press-on nails, which appeared to be available only in Mexico for some reason. The brand hasn’t acknowledged the limited availability of these products, leaving U.S. shoppers without a clear explanation.
I’ve tried wet n wild nail stickers from previous collections, and they’ve been perfectly fine. To use them, simply place the stickers on your nails and seal them with a top coat. While I can’t speak to these two specific designs firsthand, the application method is straightforward based on my experience with the brand’s previous nail stickers.
Area 51 Vibes
Boo-Niverse
How to Remove Stubborn Glitter Makeup from the Aliens Attack Collection
Removing stubborn glitter makeup takes a little more effort than your usual cleansing routine, especially with the glitter-packed products in the wet n wild Fantasy Makers Aliens Attack collection. The collection includes a peel-off glitter glue, which can make glitter application and removal easier. My trick is to use Scotch tape in gentle pressing motions to lift away as much loose glitter as possible before reaching for my cleansers. This helps remove a good portion of the glitter without having to rub it around my face.
Next, I follow my usual double-cleansing routine. I start with an oil-based cleanser to break down the makeup, then use a reusable makeup remover cloth to help lift away the remaining residue. I finish with my regular face wash, repeating the process if needed. The key is to be gentle rather than aggressively scrubbing at stubborn particles, which can irritate your skin.
A word of caution with the tape: While this trick works for me, avoid using household Scotch tape on delicate areas like your eyelids or directly along your lash line. For glitter around the eyes, use a gentle remover that’s suitable for the eye area and carefully lift away residue without rubbing.
Don’t be surprised if you still find stray glitter on yourself for the next few days! Even after cleansing, tiny particles seem to cling on and turn up in unexpected places. Take your time removing what you can comfortably lift, and don’t keep scrubbing your skin in an attempt to get every last speck.
Makeup Looks
The wet n wild Fantasy Makers Aliens Attack collection inspired four Halloween makeup looks, all created using 100% wet n wild products. I’m also bringing in returning Fantasy Makers favorites from previous years because they’re fair game for creating these extraterrestrial looks.
Blue Alien Babe
Creating an alien makeup look with drugstore products is easier when you have the right combination of bold colors, metallic finishes, and glitter. For this look, I transformed myself into a blue alien using products from the wet n wild Fantasy Makers Aliens Attack collection.

- The Glow in the Dark Glitter Gel in Extra Terrestrial delivers vibrant slime-green pigment with comfortable, all-day wear.
- The Face & Body Loose Glitter with Glue Set holds up well for elaborate costume looks.

Cons
- Product quality varies considerably, with some formulas performing much better than others.
- The Peel-Off Lip Stains are difficult to apply evenly, can leave patchy color, and dried out my lips.
- The Glitter Palette for Eye & Face lacks the impactful sparkle expected from a glitter product.
- The Chameleon Chrome Eyeshadow Foil can dry out in its pot over time.
- Some products require technique adjustments, such as setting oil-based paints with plenty of translucent powder or applying cream blush with a brush to avoid lifting foundation.
- Glitter products can leave particles behind for days and require extra effort to remove.
- Some products may stain the skin after extended wear, particularly the oil-based paints.
- Availability is inconsistent across retailers, and many items on the wet n wild website have already sold out.
- The Area 51 Vibes and Boo-Niverse nail stickers were unavailable at the retailers checked, so I couldn’t test them firsthand.

Aliens Attack Product List & Collection Ratings
| Product | Standout Shade(s) | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lip Color | Star-Spurred, Alien Aura, Toxic Charm | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Bold, full-coverage color with a comfortable satin finish; fades evenly but needs reapplication. |
| Soft Blur Liquid Lipstick | Starfall Dust, Gravity Kiss, Cosmic Vice | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Comfortable, velvety matte formula with a soft, blurred finish; fades gracefully without becoming patchy. |
| Peel-Off Lip Stain | Stellar Sin, Astral Allure | ⭐⭐ | New formula, but difficult to apply evenly; both shades dried out my lips, and Astral Allure left a dark inner-lip ring. |
| Chameleon Chrome Lip Foil | Orbit Obsession | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Eye-catching metallic green color shift, comfortable texture, and surprisingly good color retention for a gloss. |
| Chameleon Chrome Eyeshadow Foil | Starlit Outlaw | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Multi-chromatic metallic foil that stays in place all day; best pressed on as an accent, but the formula can dry out in the pot. |
| Shimmer Liquid Eyeliner | Martian Muse, Galaxy Grift, Close Encounter | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Buildable metallic color with all-day wear; requires frequent dipping, and Martian Muse is the least pigmented shade. |
| Paint Palette | Smokey, Rainbow | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Vibrant, blendable oil-based paints that hold up well; set with plenty of translucent powder to help prevent movement. |
| Glitter Palette for Eye & Face | Haunt The Night, Candy Wasted | ⭐⭐ | Glitter looks dispersed rather than intense, and the formula felt dry with loose glitter sitting on top. |
| Glow in the Dark Glitter Gel | Extra Terrestrial | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Comfortable, all-day wear with vibrant slime-green pigment; I didn’t test whether it actually glows in the dark. |
| Face & Body Loose Glitter with Glue Set | Lunar Dust | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Chunky glitter held up well for more than 12 hours; the peel-off glue removes with the glitter and can be used with other glitters. |
| Color Changing Blush | Velvet Void | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Buildable, pH-reactive blush that develops into a watermelon pink with a natural finish; applies without lifting foundation. |
| Cream Blush | Jet-Set Alien | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Blendable, buildable purple blush with all-day color; use a brush to avoid lifting foundation underneath. |
| Glow In The Dark Paint Pot | UV White, Beam Me Green | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Blendable oil-based paints with vibrant color that hold up well; some staining occurred after more than 12 hours. |
| Shimmer Setting Spray | Starboard Glow | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Adds fine green glitter and sets makeup, but doesn’t extend wear time or change the makeup’s finish. |
| Makeup Body Sponge | Green | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Soft, bouncy sponge that absorbs very little product and blends face and body paints beautifully; better for larger areas than precise application. |
| Individual Gems | Space Oddity, Cosmic Cutie | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Adhere well over regular makeup but struggle over powdered face paint; lash glue can help, though removal may lift makeup. |
| Glitter Body Illuminator | Green | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Intensely pigmented slime-green color packed with glitter; best suited to Halloween costuming rather than everyday makeup. |
| Gem Face Mask | Interstellar Icon | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Quick way to create a dramatic gem look; adheres over regular makeup but may need lash glue for extra staying power. |
| Nail Stickers | Area 51 Vibes, Boo-Niverse | Not rated | Unavailable at the retailers checked, so I couldn’t test these designs firsthand. Images are included for reference. |
