Makeup?

[(Anonymous)]

I want to be a Mirialan or Pantoran Jedi but idk what works best for coloring oneself a different shade. Recommendations?

Re: Makeup?

A lot of it is personal preference but in my experience water-based body paint works best, and is the best for your skin (but you might need to touch it up more if you sweat.) Cream or grease paints sit on top of your skin more, so looks faker to me and it makes me break out really bad.

I use Kryolan Aquacolor, but there are a lot of other brands (Paradise AQ, TAG, and Wolfe Hydrocolor, to name a few) so I would just find something in your price range and that has the right color you want. Then you activate them with water and you're good to go!

Other tips:
-Practice before you do it for real! It is a learning curve, like any make up.
-you can use make up sponges or soft brushes (like japanese hake brushes) to apply it
-Don't forget to contour! I usually just use some eyeshadow in a darker shade than my paint color, but whatever works for you. I just find painting yourself all one color flattens out your features.
-Remember to seal it! Most facepaint brands sell sealing sprays, but I also find regular make up setting sprays work just as well. I know some people use hairspray too, but I have never tried that.

From my experience, Ben Nye is a great place to buy makeup from for coloring your face a different color (not sure about using it on the rest of the body but it's great for face/neck, and if you're a Jedi I assume you'd be pretty covered up?). I use Ben Nye face paint for my troll outfit. You can get a good sealant and makeup remover too which I also use. It's specifically a costume makeup company so you know you're getting the sort of thing you're looking for, and high-quality without being outrageously expensive.
