Okay I tried using my Mehron white paint and a baby powder like people suggested and it looked like shit so I thought maybe I didn't put enough Mehron paint on so I wiped it all off and tried again using thick globes of paint and patting the sponge instead of smearing it and it was still thin and patchy as fuck.

So I thought maybe it was me fucking up since I had heard Mehron was good but seeing >>8400578 and especially >>8400557 I can see how patchy and rough textured theirs is especially around the forehead under their powder coat so I'm starting to think it's really the Mehron paint just being shitty as all hell. I think I should have gone with Ben Nye. Is Ben Nye any better? Just getting my paint out of the container was like trying to drag my sponge through slow drying cement.

On the good side, I did get pretty good at recreating the "Reflections" scene from Mulan.

Attaching a pic only to show how patchy it is after 20 minutes of constant layering paint over paint just trying to get a good base coat before the powder.

Am I just missing something that wasn't on the container and there's some kind of magic secret to this shit or should I just put it up as a bad product and try something else?
