Need serious makeup help!
« on: March 24, 2011, 10:45:37 pm »
This year for kcon I plan on going as the corpse bride. I really want to duplicate her skin color on my self, but I have no idea what kind of makeup to use on my arms and legs. I don't want the makeup to rub off onto the dress, and the only possibility i've really been able to find is "air brushing"  ???


Help? Please?

I actuallly posted a similar question a couple months back. The recommended brands were Ben Nye and Kryalon. Sealant will probably be both of our saviors when it comes to keeping the makeup from peeling or rubbing off on to our clothes.

I've yet to get a good recommendation where to buy Ben Nye, but Kryalon can be bought at a store called "Hollywood Lights" in Portland from what Malaria told me.

I've never tried either brand, but I've heard of both of them, whatever that's worth. I might go with Kryalon just because I don't have to use the internet to get it.

There's a website for Ben Nye's stuff.

I've heard hairspray works as a sealant, but I have yet to try it, so I dunno.

A friend of mine got some Mehron body make up that looked really good. Kind of sheer though. Ben Nye Aquacolor makeup is pretty good. If you're anywhere near Eugene the UO bookstore caries Ben Nye products and can order things for you from them. They also have sealant readily available.

The UO bookstore carries facepaint? When did that happen?

They carry stage make up and other Ben Nye products for Theater Arts majors. :) It's downstairs on the end of an isle by the paints. :3
