Theatrical Make up/Costuming

Posted: 23.03.2009 at 22.07

I've got a few costume parties coming up and may need to paint my face. I was wondering which make up is best to use. I'm after one that:
- Offers decent coverage.
- Can last up to 8 hours.
- Doesn't come off easily, yet is easy to remove when the time comes.
- Either doesn't stain, or the stains are easy to remove.

For various costumes, looking towards white, black and blue. I've tried grease paint but it stained clothes, felt heavy on and was a pain to take off.


And before anyone (Allan) can make any drag jokes... I'm probably going as the Joker, Nightcrawler (did this once with the grease paint)and/or a drow.


Thanks.

Allan

I have a friend who dressed up as the joker, I'll see if I can find the shot.

I'm likely to have short hair by then, so if I go as the Joker it will likely be the classic one.
I'll stick to using the coloured spray for the hair. There's only so far I'm willing to go and I've stopped dying my hair. Although given enough time I would grow some facial hair(because I can).

Did anyone get the "Nightcrawler" reference?

I really should have included your name too.

So now the proof, or rather the question nightcrawler or strange muppet?

Should have. Didn't.

Me, I get the reference to him. But I fall into the category of people who have seen and comprehended the film. Other people?
