It's too bad I hadn't join the site when you were asking about this because I would totally have told you to check out this Youtuber: http://www.youtube.com/user/goldiestarling Maybe it her channel might prove useful on some other related occassion. |

Dixie: sooo what is it you wanna paint your face as? MLE: I was trying to get some general rules for facepainting and what sorts of paints can be used. As I said in the thread, I have no idea what I want to do Dixie: hmmm, the tube cream paints suck. if you can get a nice flat face paint pallette, those tend to be nicer, and not from halloween stores either. MLE: Where do you even get that? Dixie: i'm getting a link for ya Dixie: but i use a mix of a creme palette and powders Dixie: alot of regular make up can be used and mixed too MLE: How hard are they to use, though :< I'm also an aunt now, and I'd like at least one option for doing kid's faces just for fun Dixie: http://www.amazon.com/Wolfe-Color-Pa.../dp/B00366F6GS Dixie: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=263602_304652 Dixie: those 2 are good products, wolfe makes alot of different colored palettes too so you have alot to choose from Dixie: http://www.tcpglobal.com/SNAZAROO/It...No=SNA+P-20016 this is a really good low grade professional set Dixie: yeah that last one i posted is perfect for that Dixie: you can use them with a paint brush easily MLE: Awesome! That probably minimizes the waste Dixie: definitely! for stipling you can use sponges like you would with regular paint as well MLE: Ooooh, like stony effects and whatnot Dixie: but it is a creme so you don't need to glop a whole lot on, you can practice with it and find out how much you really need for the effect you want Dixie: i got tons of special effects make up, but like i said i mix it with my regular make up to do new/different stuff with it Dixie: and i reccomend a translucent powder to help it set too Dixie: that way it doesn't slide or melt off your face haha MLE: I was about to ask about something like a painting medium Dixie: you put the powder on after to help it stay put MLE: if you needed to thin the color or make it more workable Dixie: just make sure the skin is clean and dry, no moisturizer, no lotion MLE: right Dixie: you shouldn't really need to thin it, it has to go on thick MLE: so, if I were to get only the basics, I'd get one of the color palettes and the translucent powder? Dixie: yep, and a set of brushes Dixie: there are alot of make up/face painting guides online too! that's how i learned alot of stuff. well that and special effects make up dvd tutroials |

it depends on what you want to do. you don't coat your face with a single color unless you're wanting a base. when i do zombie make up i sponge on bruises with 3 or 4 different colors and finish it off with a translucent powder so it sets better and makes the rest of the exposed skin a bit paler. it seriously depends on what it is you're going to be. lemme know and i can help you in a bit more detail missy! |

| Tadao | Use a thick layer of my cum for a base. |

| Shadowdancer21b | For camo you put the darker colors on the high points on your face first then the lighter colors on the lower parts and sort of do a gradual blend. For other things I recommend starting with a foundation and then adding details as you go. Darkest last. Layering works okay but who has the time? |

| Zhukov | Oh well there you go. |

| MLE | I'm more looking for general rules when it comes to this type or that type. I'm entirely undecided. |

| Zhukov | Well, what do you want to go as? |

Advice on face makeup application I don't know if I'm doing a costume this year, but if I do, I really wanted to try the whole face painting thing. I was wondering who might be able to help with some tips on how to apply the whole halloween face makeup so it doesn't look like a muddy mess. Like, is it dark colors first, or light colors first? Do I start around the eyes and hairline or work up to them? CiG, I'm lookin' at you! |
