Thanks Sean.
I always love to know as much detail as possible, and you can't get more 
detailed than the name of the product and brand.
I'll share the tip with a "creature/fx in-training" friend of mine.

I'm almost certain to find the Ben Nye make-up here as we have LOTS and LOTS 
of theatre companies in Montreal.
If not this particular brand, there must be something similar, as I never 
saw anyone on stage here with a shiny brow (at least not in the beggining of 
the show)
