/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Being a UK homestuck Snazzaroo is the easiest paint to get here and almost everyone I've seen at cons/meets use it. I've actually had it on my face with contouring and powder for a whole day (8 am until 5 when I had a meal) without it budging at all.

This was on a very hot day (the 413 meet this year in london) spent mostly in the sun AND playing DDR on difficult in an arcade for 1-2 hours.

My paint stayed on perfectly, especially compared to the other people there, so I cant speak for all snazz users but this is what I do:

1. 1 Layer with sponge+ quite a bit of water
2. 1 layer with less water.
3. If any areas are patchy go over them again without adding any water to your previously damp sponge. I've found that in soft areas like under your eyes you can use your finger for this as well or a paintbrush.
4. Powder it with baby powder and a brush.
5. Contour with the darker grey and black mixed to your liking.
6. Powder again.
7. Add other make up (eyeliner etc)

You're done!

Also I wouldn't recommend this too much because it's really not what it's supposed to be used for but I always paint my lips with my gel eyeliner before going over the top of it with my black lipstick. It leaves a really clean line and stays there all day even if you drink or eat small things (not a whole meal or something that rubs all over your lip) I've just found it a lot more manageable than just lipstick and it hasn't done anything bad to my lips yet from what I can tell!
