How do I keep my paint from melting off in hot weather?

>>9215888
I really don't like this. She looks bruised

does anyone know how to make the white makeup not feel so dry? i've tried moisturizing a lot before applying it, but it doesnt seem to help much

Carry a setting spray around.

i have a bit to post from my (tiny) folder, but.. anyone have any good animal/creature-inspired pics? seeking inspo for a halloween look i'm trying to put together

last one for now!

Super long delay in reply but use some barrier spray or anything specifically designed to keep makeup in place. If the Homestucks can do it, so can you.

>spend a bunch of money on shironuri supplies
>try it some and think it looks terrible
>decide to get back into it
>can't find any of my makeup

I have no idea where I put it or if it's even still good a year later but I'm not going to let it go to waste if I can make some coords for 2017 cons.

I just bought everything according to Gropey's guide. They didn't have any white mascara left, but I found some silver mascara at the dollar store. Hope it'll work out.

I'm trying to dye white eyelashes using the ink/alcohol method and it won't stick

>>9216195
I've seen people do this look without the white greasepaint and it looks fine. But with it.. just doesn't sit well.

>>9222011
Glad to see someone else doing an animal-themed look for Halloween, I'm doing a rabbit and haven't found a lot of examples of it

I just bought Mehron barrier spray and Ben Nye super white powder for use in shironuri for halloween, if anyone is interested in a review i'd be happy to do it after it arrives

>>9233507
Beware the Mehron barrier spray, anon. I've gotten my eyelashes stuck together with that stuff before to the point where now I just spritz it on a foam and pat apply it. It's pretty good quality though.

I'd love a review on the Ben Nye though.
>tfw I need my shironuri supplies for costume contest but no idea where they are

>>9233512
Really? I've seen almost entirely good reviews for it, since it's dual use (underneath makeup and over it to set it) and people who wear heavy makeup (drag queens, clowns, etc) swear by it. I guess I'll just cover my eyes when I spray it

What does everyone do with their eyebrows for shironuri? Do you let your natural brows show through? Cover them and create new ones? Or just hide them entirely? Minori either doesn't have any or covers hers but extends her eye makeup high enough to keep it from looking bare
What I did last year was do the classic drag technique of using a glue stick to flatten my brows, then do my makeup over, and then I drew new eyebrows that matched my wig. I got Kryolan's eyebrow plastic this year and I'm excited to try that out too

>>9233512
why tf are you using the barrier spray on your eye area

>>9233526
Oh I'm not saying it's not great, it's just you have to be careful around your eyes when you spray it because it makes your eyelashes stick together and feel like you've just got hairspray or something in your eyes. It's a hassle to cover my eyes and miss chunks of my face because of it so I just use a sponge now.

>>9233529
I'm not using it on my eyes? You're supposed to close your eyes and spritz it on your face and I have long eyelashes so they stick together when I do.

>>9233512
Put on setting spray before mascara and falsies.

>>9233526
They get white from the make up anyhow and since they're light and not too thick I usually just add my own to match my wig. I'm mostly a fan of the effect of a completely white face, and not so much of OTT make up otherwise so I need them to frame my face.

Other than minori's tutorial and bazookistan's tutorial, what else is worth watching?

Bazookistan peeking in to say hello

How do I keep my face from looking too flat/bare when I don't want to do elaborate eye art like minori does? My color scheme is shades of purple and purple-ish pinks and reds, so I was thinking doing an unconventional color contour with it (but nothing like hollow cheekbones. was thinking more like on the edge of the face)

>>9233954
Minsooky on YouTube has nice videos. There are around 10 shironuri looks on their channel, recent ones. I'd recommend checking them out!

>>9234973
I've watched hers too, she goes for more of a glam look. Is there anything else?

Anyone else enjoying the shit out of shironuri: the band?

>>9222617
same here, anon
same here...

>>9235099
There's a band?
Honestly if I had some musical talent I'd go the daft punk route and keep my face obscured during performances, but with like white face paint instead of a helmet

>>9235327
It's actually a visual kei band called Insanity Injection, they're worth checking out if you like experimental metal and gothic metal.

>>9235385
I'm mostly into bands like Kittie, which have made everything form death metal to nu-metal, I'll check them out

>>9235431
It has the guy from Aliene Mar'riage and the guy from Glamscure.

>>9236190
Fucking flawless

>>9236446
No. 96 usually looks amazing, I think she makes her own prosthetics

>>9236484
Damn she's probably my new favorite

Anyone have any good tutorial for shironuri? I wanna get good, but I'm not sure where to start.

>>9236558
Minori's tutorial with Tokyo Fashion
https://youtu.be/fWFD5RqC4RM
I highly recommend the products she mentioned to create the white base, I really liked them (but at this point you couldn't get them in time for Halloween)
Also Bazookistan did a series of tutorials with Kawaii Pateen but the most important one is the one for the base makeup
https://youtu.be/llMe_8rseuw
Here's a Westerner, Minsooky and her base tutorial using a paint stick instead of a cake type foundation like Bazookistan or pan grease paint like Minori
https://youtu.be/TyyzZtFtLVk
Those are the only ones I've found that I really like... not a lot of tutorials out there

>>9236558
One of our resident gulls made a tutorial for a clown white base. He(?) says this lasts all day through sweat and oil and everything

Thank you

>>9239417
Who is this? The creepy theme reminds me of no 96 but the face and makeup style doesn't look like her

>>9239552
It is Ponico of the Ponicomonyura shironuri twins, though her swister dressed the same (as always).
