Hey hey kids.

Its 11 at night, I'm drunk and I'm bored. You know what that means?

Makeup, armor, prosthetics, performing and whatever the hell else you wanna talk about.

What a coincidence, I was hoping you'd show up before the next con. I'm planning on doing a full face and neck of white using Ben Nye products for a cosplay. I just wanted to make sure I have all the steps down so I don't fuck this up.

1) Clean face
2) Barrier spray
3) Ben Nye Creme foundation
4) Blend, blend, blend
5) Seal with translucent powder
6) Final Seal spray

Got everything? I plan on doing a test run and sit outside in this for a while before the con to see how it holds up because I am a sweaty lady.

[Gropey_the_Clown !!45cDG7SqkZI No.6828447]

>>6828426
Don't mix the powder with the barrier/sealer spray. One or the other.

The Ben Nye complete guide to makeup says this themselves. The powder will absorb the spray, which will clot, and effectively neutralize both barriers.

Too much of a good thing I suppose. I prefer just the barrier/sealant combo spray myself.

How would you go about keeping green bodypaint on for most of the day?

>>6828465
EVERY SINGLE MAKEUP THREAD!
Unless you're using alcohol based airbrushing body paint, you WILL get rub off eventually. All I can suggest is either going with a body suit, or carrying some extra paint and sealant with you, and ignoring people bitching you're leaving green in places.

Sad, hard truth hun.

[Anonymous No.6828514]

>>6828447
This is a good tip. I have only the white face powder at the moment, so i'm already without no seal and just the setting powder?

[Anonymous No.6828524]

What's the best way to get a nice clean line of body paint or whatnot all the way down? I assume an assistant would be required.

[Gropey_the_Clown !!45cDG7SqkZI No.6828540]

>>6828514
I would suggest getting some sealant/barrier spray. Its not hard to get, and is cheap. ALWAYS seal. Keeps you from sweating off the makeup, and keeps the makeup out of your pores.

>>6828524

Going to sound stupid, but plain old masking tape. Like you'd use to edge when painting the house. Trust me.

[Anonymous No.6828546]

>>6828540
Oh, that does actually make a lot of sense, heh. Would blue painter's tape work just as well/better than masking tape?

[Gropey_the_Clown !!45cDG7SqkZI No.6828553]

>>6828546
Making tape is any treated paper tape for masking a surface. Blue painters tape is just masking tape with weaker glue to keep from tearing off the surface.

TL:DR yes.

Pic unrelated.

I am messing around currently with Ben Nye's nose and scar wax. I even have Clear latex to use on top of it, but the problem is, the nose/scar putty is crazy sticky! It sticks to everything BUT my face where i want to do horror type make up. Any tips?

[Gropey_the_Clown !!45cDG7SqkZI No.6828583]

>>6828568
1: degrease your face by washing your face per my guide. Scrub, cold water, astringent etc.

2: LIGHTLY dust your fingertips in corn starch. Like, barely have a micron of the stuff on your fingertips.

Be born with a deformed skull and have a botched sugury to fix it. Or ping-pong balls cut in half.

>>6828596
I have a bear skin for when I do viking reenactments. But a cyote or wolf skin offline, and make sure the maxilliary cut is behinf the lower jaw, and it fits like a hat perfectly! Or, get a large stuffed wolf toy and do the same. Again, behind the still attached lower jaw.

>>6828608
sheet latex stretched over your mouth secured over your lips with spirit gum and blended with makeup.

[Anonymous No.6828635]

>>6828596
I'm doing something similar to this, but a bear head. I'm taking a hat, and using expanding foam all over it. And then carving it to the shape it needs to be. Then furring it like a fursuit head and attaching the "pelt"

[Anonymous No.6828637]

>>6828540
Wait, wait, how does sealant spray keep makeup out of your pores? Are you supposed to put it under the makeup?

Different anon, but would you be able to talk with that?

[Gropey_the_Clown !!45cDG7SqkZI No.6828643]

>>6828614
Nothing without major foam rubber prosthetic appliances.

>>6828635
Or you could just use the natural concave nature of the pelt do its job.

>>6828637
read my guide dammit! >>6828447 it forms a plasticine base layer to seal pores and has antiperspirant in it.

So I have been using wet make up (make up forever) with mineral finishing powder on top for my Muscle Man cosplay. Anything else I should be doing to make it look good?

[Anonymous No.6828657]

>>6828643
Shit, I thought it went over the makeup. Does it depend on the brand or am I just a dumbass? It seemed to work with my old stuff, but I can only find Ben Nye in my new town so my last con was spent wondering why I was so damn sticky, thanks.

[Anonymous No.6828673]

>>6828623
did you get real bear or faux?
i'm looking at prices for real wolf and they're a lot higher than i expected.
my city has a carnival during the summer and there's an old timey settler village setup near there that sells pelts and i don't remember them being priced as high as what i'm seeing online.

[Gropey_the_Clown !!45cDG7SqkZI No.6828677]

>>6828650
Not my usual choice, but I try to avoid powder sets. The only thing I can ask is are you washing/deoiling/sealing your face before application? What kind of dry time to you allow?

>>6828657
Ben Nye is the top on the market. Its the bar setting brand, as it were.

[Gropey_the_Clown !!45cDG7SqkZI No.6828684]

>>6828673
Yes, granted, I hunted it myself.

Wolf is pricey. Coyote and Bear is cheaper. The reason your local fenter sells them cheaper is that he probably gets them from nuisance animals that are put down rather than commercial hunting, in which wolves are very limited to hunt.

[Dr. Scientist !!JtQ+aYJUUCb No.6828687]

>>6828677
I hadn't tried sealing before hand, I shower before I get painted up, but I don't do anything to specifically de-oil. I usually allow the paint to dry fully before I powder. On that note, I have found sweating is a big problem when I have this kinda makeup on.

Mehron Barrier spray fixer/sealer. If I need to say it a million times I will. Its an antiperspirant, pore sealant and fixer spray, all in one.

The zoo. Failing that, far northern Canada. Either way, the bear might disagree with your intentions of taking its pelt.

You will not find polar bear pelts for sale outside of the $1000+ range considering its a threatened species.
